In the land of the Philippines, where the sun always shines and the remittances never cease, a revolution is brewing – or rather, a ‘revolution’ as decreed by the high priests of cryptocurrency. Coins.ph, a licensed Virtual Asset Service Provider, has seen fit to bless the QRPh-enabled crypto payment system with the holy grails of Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH), because what’s a revolution without the inclusion of the most “stable” of stablecoins, Tether?
Now, the faithful can make payments at approximately 700,000 merchants across the land, scanning QR codes with all the fervor of a devout pilgrim. And, miracle of miracles, their crypto balances are automatically converted into Philippine pesos at checkout, saving them from the arduous task of manual conversion. One can almost hear the chorus of angels singing in harmony as the need for manual labor is obviated.
This latest development follows the company’s earlier foray into QRPh-compatible payments using USDT, marking the first instance of a digital wallet in the country enabling direct crypto payments within a national QR infrastructure. The initial deployment was a resounding success, generating notable transaction volumes and introducing stablecoins into a system already widely used for everyday payments – or so we’re told.
Stablecoins, it seems, remain the linchpin of this grand experiment, allowing users to flit between fiat and digital assets with the ease of a butterfly (or a speculator). This is particularly relevant in the Philippines, a nation bathed in the golden glow of remittances, with annual inflows estimated at around $38 billion. Digital dollar-denominated assets have become the darling of cross-border transfers, permitting recipients to retain value in stablecoins and spend funds locally without the bother of additional conversion steps.
By deigning to include BTC and ETH, Coins.ph is broadening the range of supported digital assets while maintaining a consistent payment experience designed for everyday use – or so they claim. One can’t help but wonder if the average Filipino is rejoicing at this development or merely being led down the garden path.
Wei Zhou, CEO of Coins.ph, proclaimed, “The addition of new tokens to our QRPH crypto payments feature is a great achievement… We aren’t just adding new tokens; we are redefining what a digital wallet can do.” One can only assume he’s not tongue-in-cheek when claiming to be “redefining” the digital wallet – after all, the bar was set pretty low.
Coins.ph operates under the watchful eye of the BSP, a benevolent overseer ensuring that the faithful don’t get too carried away with their cryptocurrency fervor. QRPh, the national standard for interoperable and secure digital payments, serves as a beacon of hope in a world beset by the chaos of disparate payment systems.
The Philippines, it seems, continues to be a hotbed of crypto activity, with estimates suggesting that over 15 million users (or roughly 13.4% of the population) are riding the cryptocurrency wave. One can only wonder what the future holds for this intrepid nation.
