Local cryptocurrency exchange Coins.ph launched a series of on-ground activations beginning August 2 and running until August 16, 2025, across Metro Manila and nearby provinces, with the goal of making crypto more accessible to the broader public.
On-ground Activations
The activations began on August 2 at Farmers Plaza in Quezon City, The Marketplace Shopping Mall in Mandaluyong, and Ayala Malls Feliz in Pasig.
The media release noted that the campaign is taking place in malls and public venues, offering attendees hands-on assistance with setting up a Coins.ph account, buying and selling cryptocurrencies, converting digital assets to Philippine pesos, and cashing out through local banks or e-wallets.
Participants who verify their accounts on-site can also receive exclusive freebies and rewards.
“We’re making crypto more accessible by showing up where people are, not just online, but in real-life communities across the country. These on-ground activations are part of our bigger mission to educate and onboard more Filipinos into the world of digital assets in a way that’s safe, simple, and useful in everyday life.”
Wei Zhou, CEO, Coins.ph
According to the firm, further dates and locations will be posted on the Coins.ph Facebook page and Telegram community.
Currently, Coins.ph has over 18 million users.
In July, Coins.ph partnered with Hong Kong-based HashKey Exchange to launch a 24/7 crypto-powered remittance corridor between the Philippines and Hong Kong, enabling real-time, compliant fund transfers aimed at reducing costs and improving cross-border payments for both retail and institutional users.
Last June,the firm’s peso-backed stablecoin $PHPC officially exited the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas’ regulatory sandbox after meeting key performance standards, paving the way for broader use in remittances and cross-border transactions.
In May, Coins.ph also partnered with BSP-licensed electronic money issuer Pays0 to enable direct conversions between Philippine pesos and cryptocurrencies, aiming to streamline remittances, enhance cross-border payments, and promote a more inclusive digital financial ecosystem in the Philippines.
In April, Coins.ph joined the Circle Payments Network as its sole Philippine design partner to help modernize global remittances for Filipinos by enabling faster, cheaper, and more secure cross-border transfers using regulated stablecoins like $USDC.
