The National Telecommunications Commission (NTC) of the Philippines, referencing the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP), has ordered the blocking of access to Coinbase, Gemini, and around 50 other unauthorized cryptocurrency trading platforms. This action follows a previous ban on Binance in March 2024 as part of the country's efforts to regulate the crypto industry. The move targets platforms operating without proper authorization, aiming to protect consumers and enforce compliance.
