By preventing local users from accessing Binance, the largest cryptocurrency exchange in the world based on trading volume, the Philippines Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has taken a major regulatory step.

The SEC’s decision was predicated on Binance’s inability to obtain the required license from the commission to function as an investment and trading platform, according to a release released by the regulator on Monday.
Services And Website For Binance Blocked
The SEC decided to ask the National Telecommunications Commission (NTC) for help blocking Binance’s website and associated websites during its meeting on March 12.
CryptoCaster Quick Check:
According to the SEC, Binance was providing trading and investment services without the necessary license and was allegedly a “threat” to the security of the money held by Filipino investors. In the request to the NTC, SEC Chairman Emilio Aquino stressed how crucial it is to safeguard investors’ interests. According to Aquino:
The SEC has identified the aforementioned platform and determined that the security of the money invested by Filipinos is at risk if the public continues to have access to these websites and applications.
The Asian nation’s regulator reports that Binance has amassed a sizable user base of over 183 million members, with an average daily trading volume of $65 billion and support for over 402 cryptocurrencies.
The SEC did note that Binance does not currently possess the required license to accept investments from the general public or run a securities exchange. As a result, the SEC cautioned the public not to use or invest in Binance’s services.
Since November 2023, the commission has been actively investigating the possibility of prohibiting Binance’s website and online presence in the Philippines. Nonetheless, the SEC has given investors enough time to move their portfolios to approved platforms and products because of Binance’s “sizable operations.”
We hope you appreciated this article. Before you move on, I was hoping you would consider taking the step of supporting CryptoCaster’s journalism.
From Elon Musk, Larry Fink(BlackRock) to Jamie Dimon(JP Morgan Chase) a number of billionaire owners have a powerful hold on so much of the hidden agendas’ which eludes the public concerning the paradigm shift juxtaposed by cryptocurrency and web3 emerging technologies. CryptoCaster is different. We have no billionaire owner or shareholders to consider. Our journalistic efforts are produced to serve the public interest in crypto development and institutional disruptions – not profit motives.
And we avoid the trap that befalls much U.S. and global media – the tendency, born of a desire to please all sides, to engage in false equivalence in the name of neutrality and retail consumer protection. While fairness and transparency dictates everything we do, we know there is a right and a wrong position in the fight against fiat global banking interest and monetary reconstruction precipitated by the emerging crypto ecology.
When we report on issues like the FTX, Binance and Ripple crisis, we’re not afraid to name who or what is uncovered. And as a crypto sentinel, we’re able to provide a fresh, outsider perspective on the global monetary disruption – one so often missing from the insular American and European media bubble.
