Philippines Blocks Major Crypto Platforms 🇵🇭

[cryptohog]

Internet service providers in the Philippines have started blocking access to major crypto exchanges, including Coinbase and Gemini. The move follows orders from the National Telecommunications Commission to restrict 50 platforms flagged by the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas for operating without local licenses. The central bank hasn’t released a full list, but the enforcement marks a shift from tolerance to strict regulation, making licensing the key to market access.
