BREAKING: Philippines Blocks Coinbase & Gemini 🇵🇭

Think Your Crypto App is "Down"? It’s Actually a Government Ban.

As of Today, Dec 24, 2025, the NTC has Officially Ordered ISPs to Block Access to Coinbase and Gemini. Here is what you need to know:

🚫 The Block: ISPs like PLDT, Globe, and DITO have Restricted 50+ Unlicensed Platforms. If you See "Connection Not Private" or SSL errors, that’s the ISP-level filter.

The Reason: The Central Bank (BSP) is Cracking Down on Exchanges Without a VASP license to meet Global Anti-Money Laundering Standards.

Market Impact: This follows the Binance Ban, Signaling a "Comply or Leave" Era for Crypto in the PH.

Next Move: Accessing via VPN might be a temporary fix, but Regulators are Pushing Users to licensed local platforms like PDAX or Coinsdotph
