The Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas banned privacy coins entirely and set six evaluation pillars that all virtual asset exchanges must use before listing any crypto token for trading.

BlockShoals Technologies is integrating with a BSP-licensed VASP partner to develop secure Philippine peso fiat rails, a requirement for Binance's testing phase under the SEC's StratBox sandbox framework.

BlockShoals Technologies selected a Bangko Sentral-licensed Virtual Asset Service Provider to meet its SEC StratBox testing requirements after the BSP confirmed neither BlockShoals nor Binance holds a VASP Certificate of Authority in the Philippines.

Philippine regulators identified guaranteed daily returns of 1% to 2% as the clearest red flag of a crypto Ponzi scheme. Platforms must secure both an SEC secondary license and a BSP VASP certificate to operate legally.

Philippine regulators halted operations at Riscoin and BG Wealth Sharing Ltd. after discovering they were soliciting investments through unregistered crypto schemes. The enforcement action followed months of warnings that both firms ignored.
