What’s really happening in the Philippine blockchain space today?
summary
Philippine blockchain shifts from NFT hype to finance: stablecoins gain traction with banks and payment rails, Polygon already handles billions of payments, and over 10 blockchain bills are in Congress including Senate Bill 1506 (Kadena). Regulators split roles (BSP vs SEC vs PAGCOR), SEC runs a sandbox and VASP licenses persist. Pilots include a DPWH “integrity chain,” seven universities tokenize transcripts for ~4 million students, and tokenized real‑world assets and registry‑of‑deeds pilots are pushed for FDI and fraud reduction.
