More Cryptocurrency Regulation In The Philippines

2018-7-7 22:21

Some Asian countries are still trying to hard curtail un regulated cryptocurrency exchanges, leading to multiple exits of Crypto giants in order to build stability elsewhere.

However, it is relieving to see that the Philippine government is handling the Crypto space with a lot more caution in terms of regulation and acceptance, which will no doubt enhance growth for the country’s economy.

Deputy Governor Chuchi G. Fonacier, the supervisor of Philippine’s central bank Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) commented on the exchange regulations saying :

“The regulator has approved applications filed by Virtual Currency Philippines Inc. and Etranss as platforms to convert pesos into virtual currencies (VC) like bitcoin and ethereum.”

Fonacier further explained that the country has seen a surge in the rates of Cryptocurrency transactions. Stating that $24.16 million was converted to peso while $36.74 million was converted to Cryptocurrency.

For the aspect of money laundering, the Anti-money laundering council is keeping a close watch on Cryptocurrency transactions.

Although the Central Bank suggested that Exchanges should license themselves as electronic money issuers,after some internal consultations, Fonacier concluded that simpler terms will be created.

The supervisor can be quoted saying :

Now, we are refining the rules. If your business model has a portion making use of e-wallet, then there’s an additional requirement but not necessarily or automatically an e-money license.

Following that, a report from Reuters on the 25th of April revealed that 10 Blockchain and Crypto-Exchange firms is soon to be regulated in the the Cagayan Economic Zone where

Much like Malta, the home of many leading Crypto exchange platforms, if the Philippines continue to create flexible Crypto-friendly laws, with more bills being passed and more exchanges being regulated, the Philippines is certainly on the path of branding itself as the heart of Cryptocurrency in Asia.
