1  Local / Pilipinas / PH SEC: 'Crypto influencers' = Financial advisors on: June 03, 2025, 10:17:12 AM
Naglabas ang SEC ng batas tungkol sa crypto o ng rule tungkol sa Crypto-Asset Service Provider (CASP) last May 30, 2025.
Ito yung "SEC MC No. 04, series of 2025 THE SEC RULES ON CRYPTO-ASSET SERVICE PROVIDERS (SEC CASP RULES)" na nasa mismong website nila itong guidelines tungkol sa pag invest sa crypto at mas highlighted yung mga crypto content creators dito.

At yan yun sinasabi sa section 7 ng guidelines na yan na dapat registered sila bilang isang corporation na related sa pera at regulated ng BSP. Sa madaling salita, bilang mga financial advisors.



Kaya yung ibang mga KOL(key opinion leaders) o mga social media crypto influencers dito sa bansa natin naglabasan din sila ng komento tungkol dito.

Ito yung karugtong na pasok sa mga dapat mag register kapag ginagawa nila itong mga bagay na ito na kasama din sa Section 7 nitong CASP guideline, damay ang airdrops[7.3.5], kahit mga educational contents[7.3.6].



Isa lang ang kilala kong content creator dito sa atin sa forum at yun ay si boss mk4 na goods yung mga airdrops na nililist niya sa website niya. Panigurado may opinyon na siya dito. At siyempre, kayo mga kabayan ano sa tingin niyo? Hindi itong yung ineexpect natin kay SEC na dapat ay ibang guidelines na mas papabor sa atin.

2  Local / Pilipinas / Coinbase x PH? on: January 23, 2025, 11:33:30 AM
Nag post ang Department of Finance ng pictures ni DOF SEC. Ralph Recto kasama si Brian Armstrong na CEO ng Coinbase na nagkaroon ng meeting sa Davos, Switzerland sa nakaraang World Economic Forum. Ayon sa post ng DOF, may interest ang exchange nag maexplore sa bansa natin. Posible kaya mas mauna silang magkaroon ng VASP License bago ang ibang exchange tulad ng Binance sa bansa natin?

Finance Secretary Ralph G. Recto recently met with Coinbase co-founder and CEO Brian Armstrong to explore the company’s potential entry into the Philippines.

Coinbase, one of the leading cryptocurrency companies in the United States, initiated the meeting to convey its strong interest in expanding its footprint to the Philippines. It recognized the country’s growing digital economy and the increasing adoption of blockchain technology.
Secretary Recto welcomed Coinbase's interest, emphasizing the Philippine government’s commitment to fostering innovation in the financial sector. He expressed the government’s willingness to provide a robust regulatory framework that supports cryptocurrency adoption while safeguarding consumer protection and financial stability.

The meeting was held on the sidelines of the World Economic Forum (WEF) in Davos-Klosters, Switzerland, from January 20 to 24, 2025.
Secretary Recto was named as Special Envoy of President Ferdinand R. Marcos, Jr., and Head of the Philippine delegation to WEF to secure more investments that will drive inclusive economic growth in the Philippines.

Matagal naman ng accessible ang Coinbase sa bansa natin at bago pa man ang coins.ph, madami ng gumagamit sa kanila pero dahil nga sa mga regulations ng bansa natin, nagkakaroon ng mga karagdagang requirements para makapagoperate sa bansa natin.
3  Local / Pilipinas / Mag-ingat sa text scams - SPOOFING/PHISHING! on: October 17, 2024, 10:49:11 AM


Nitong nakaraan lang nakareceive ako ng text na may pera daw na padating sa Maya account ko. Gumagamit ako ng Maya pero kapag may nareceive lang akong libreng ten pesos galing sa kanila. Noong nareceive ko itong scam text na ito, halatado yung link na mali ay may sobrang letra sa gitna pay'R'maya.

Yung mga akala nilang nakalibre sila ng pera galing sa text na yan ay sila ang mismong target ng mga scammer na ito. Kita niyo sa taas sa text sa akin, galing talaga sa Maya yung paalala na yan at legit yang sender na yan. Pero dahil sa spoofing, nagagawa ng mga scammer maloko yung mga biktima na akala ay totoong Maya yung sender.

So tatlong technique ang ginagawa ng mga scammer dito.

1. Spoofing. Text na akala natin galing mismo sa legit company(Maya) kaya mas madali silang nakakagain ng tiwala sa mga biktima nila.

2. Phishing. Doon nila talaga titirahin sa maling link na sinend nila ang kanilang mga biktima para kunin lahat ng mga importanteng details sa pag login.

3. Smishing. Ito mismo yung scam na sa text nangyayari.

1. Spoofing
Spoofing is when someone disguises an email address, sender name, phone number, or website URL—often just by changing one letter, symbol, or number—to convince you that you are interacting with a trusted source.

2. Phishing
Phishing schemes often use spoofing techniques to lure you in and get you to take the bait. These scams are designed to trick you into giving information to criminals that they shouldn’t have access to.

3. Smishing scams happen through SMS (text) messages.

Sa atin na aware na sa ganito, madali tayong makakaiwas at i-share natin sa mga kakilala natin o magsimula tayo sa pamilya mismo natin na mag ingat sa mga ganitong modus.

NOTE: Hindi lang sa Maya nangyayari ito dahil pati Gcash at iba pang mga banking apps na may mahahalagang impormasyon natin, messaging apps at maging sa mga social media. Kaya huwag basta basta pindutin yung mga link at ugaliing i-double check.
4  Local / Pilipinas / Infrawatch tinatarget ipashutdown ang operation ng Bitget at OKX sa bansa natin on: October 15, 2024, 11:03:05 AM
Sa article na nilabas ng Bitpinas: https://bitpinas.com/regulation/infrawatch-sec-okx-bitget/
Nagrequest ang grupong Infrawatch PH na ipatigil ang operation ng bitget at OKX sa bansa natin. Kung ina-analyze naman natin itong request na ito, lagi namang laman ng balita iyang Infrawatch sa mga ganitong usapin. Sa quote sa baba, ilan lamang yan sa snippet at ang buong detalye ay nasa link ng bitpinas.

[

Infrawatch noted the following concerns:

  • Both platforms allegedly allow peer-to-peer (P2P) crypto transactions, which Infrawatch PH claims violate Philippine financial laws.
  • P2P transactions without oversight create opportunities for money laundering and other illegal activities, the group added.

Deceptive Marketing Practices:
Infrawatch said:

  • Bitget and OKX have engaged in aggressive marketing campaigns, including crypto giveaways and monetary rewards targeting Filipino users.
  • They have also held promotional events at universities disguised as educational blockchain initiatives, according to Infrawatch PH.


Mukhang lahat ng international exchanges balak ipashutdown ang operation sa bansa natin nitong grupo na ito. May backer siguro itong local exchange sa atin. Wala akong against sa mga local exchanges natin dahil avid user nila ako pero sana huwag alisin ang choices ng mga users at imbes na ipasara ay bigyan ng paraan at proseso para maging legal ang kanilang operasyon.
5  Local / Pamilihan / eToro, stops PH support on: October 11, 2024, 01:53:57 PM
Kilala itong eToro bago pa man dumating ang crypto sa ating lahat pero mas kilala talaga ito bilang exchange sa foreign/US stocks, forex at iba pang mga markets na puwedeng itrade sa kanila. May crypto trading din sa platform na ito at dito ko unang nakita yung copytrading. Kaya sa mga pondo sa kanila, hindi lang crypto trading ang ititigil nila sa mga PH residents kundi lahat ng operations at features na meron sila. May oras pa kayo na iwithdraw lahat ng pondo sa kanila hanggang Dec. 08, 2024.

Maaalala natin na may SEC advisory sila nitong taon lang din: https://www.sec.gov.ph/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/2024Advisory-Against-eTORO.pdf

6  Local / Pamilihan / Existing active local exchanges sa bansa natin on: October 01, 2024, 02:32:26 AM
Ayon sa list na ito: https://bitpinas.com/feature/list-licensed-virtual-currency-exchanges-philippines/
Maraming mga companies ang nagkaroon ng VASP license sa bansa natin. Pero dahil marami na ding update simula ng ipublish itong article list na ito, may mga natanggal na din at mga websites na hindi active. Kaya sa aking pagsaliksik at base na din sa experience ko dahil karamihan sa mga ito ay nagamit ko na upang mag exchange. Yung iba sa nagkaroon ng VASP license ay hindi solely focused sa pagiging crypto exchange kundi isang remittance platform o business.

Narito ang ilan sa mga exchanges na active at existing sa bansa natin ngayon.

1. Coins.ph - through desktop/website at mobile app
2. Gcrypto (Gcash) under PDAX - through mobile app only
3. PDAX - through desktop/website at mobile app
4. Maya formerly known PayMaya - through mobile app only
5. Moneybees - through online & over-the-counter
6. Unionbank - special mention ko lang ito. Ito lang hindi ko pa nagagamit at hindi ako sigurado kung working na ba ito pero yung app nito as bank nagamit ko. Partnered and under by PDAX din. Mukhang under development pa.

Lahat ito maliban sa isa nagamit  ko na at okay naman ang experiences at walang major problems akong naranasan. Alam ko na madami dito sa atin ay sa international exchanges mas umaasa at nagte-trade kaya off lang natin ang limit at focus lang tayo sa mga local exchanges natin. Kung may kulang man, idagdag natin sa list mga kabayan.
7  Economy / Exchanges / Philippines bans Binance on: March 26, 2024, 10:04:35 PM
Yes, our country has banned the access to Binance and this was raised since last year of November by SEC. But after the deadline given for 3 months, they didn't banned it immediately but just a day or two ago they did pushed for the ban. Most of the ISPs that we've got have totally banned to doing a visit to Binance's website and there's this message when I've first tried accessing it yesterday that I might be reported to the authorities. But upon paying a visit today, it's just a total domain error. I guess that our government just want a chunk out of the fine they've made with the US SEC as our government tries to acquire as much taxes that they can for the funding of a newly proposed government investing program.

The SEC Has Officially Banned Crypto Giant Binance in the Philippines

Writing to the NTC, SEC chair Emilio B. Aquino said, “The SEC has identified the aforementioned platform and concluded that the public’s continued access to these websites/apps poses a threat to the security of the funds of investing Filipinos.” The SEC in early March had also requested for NTC’s help in blocking access to other unregistered investment platforms such as OctaFX and MiTrade.

PS: The Binance app is still accessible for some locals.
8  Local / Pilipinas / Bitcoin, pangalawa sa pinakamalaking ETF. Nilagpasan ang Silver on: January 19, 2024, 12:15:22 AM
JUST IN: #Bitcoin becomes the second largest ETF commodity in the US, surpassing silver.

Heto na nga, wala pang ilang linggo pero ang taas na agad ng rank ng Bitcoin Spot ETF sa US at ang laking pera ang dumaloy at naungusan pa nga ang Silver.

Kahit na hindi maganda ang lagay ng market ngayon at medyo bumagsak. Maganda pa rin itong balita na ito, kasi sa mga naghahanap ng mabilisang action at impact. Hindi pa ito yun, long term ang effect na hatid nito sa market. Tingin ko sa ganitong balita, yung mga may doubt pa rin kay Bitcoin hanggang sa ngayon magkakaroon na ng doubt sa dinadoubt nila.  Grin

Anyone there that is a legit seller of steam wallet codes or gift cards. I need to load my steam account for buying some new games and also for buying Dota 2 items.

11  Local / Others (Pilipinas) / Kerwin Espinosa : arrested! on: October 17, 2016, 05:01:39 AM
Kerwin Espinosa has been arrested in Dubai. For sure he is going to contribute in the  investigation regarding the drug trade in bilibid. And for sure he is going to make De Lima to become more guilty as for sure he is going to testify against his illegal drug trades. He is one of the biggest drug lord in our country. What's your thought about this?
