From old posts still violating SEC CASP rules to DynaQuest rebranding to DynaQuestAI, here are some of the crypto news from the Philippines.
Today, we curated some of the news from crypto and blockchain organizations in the Philippines from last week, June 16 to 22, 2025.
Expert: Old Crypto Posts Could Still Violate CASP Rules
Crypto content creators in the Philippines may need to revisit and possibly delete past posts promoting digital assets, even if they were published before the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC)’s new rules take effect in July.
This was according to Atty. Rafael Padilla, who emphasized that under the new Crypto Asset Service Providers (CASP) regulations, undeleted posts could be considered “continuing violations” if they promote unregistered platforms or crypto assets.
He explained that while the rules are not retroactive, content that remains publicly accessible and falls within the scope could still be penalized.
Padilla also warned of a chilling effect on crypto education and discourse, raising constitutional concerns about freedom of expression.
Lastly, the crypto lawyer noted that livestreams and educational content could still be deemed promotional under the broad definition of marketing.
Webcast: The Future of Crypto Exchanges in the Philippines
The BitPinas Webcast hosted the discussion titled “The Future of Crypto Exchanges in the Philippines” on June 17, 2025, highlighting the evolving landscape for both local and global crypto platforms under the country’s new regulatory regime.
The discussion focused on the SEC’s recently implemented CASP rules, which impose stricter compliance, licensing, and marketing requirements on exchanges operating in the Philippines.
Panelists tackled key issues such as the challenges local exchanges now face, the potential barriers for international platforms entering the market, and what users prioritize, including features, fees, and protections.
The webcast also explored potential industry trajectories and how the Filipino crypto community can actively shape the ecosystem amid growing calls for both regulatory clarity and innovation.
DOF: PH to Adopt Crypto Tax Framework
The Philippines will adopt the international Crypto-Asset Reporting Framework (CARF) by 2028 to bolster its efforts against tax evasion and illicit financial activities, according to the Department of Finance (DOF).
CARF is expected to enable automatic exchange of crypto-related information among tax authorities globally, ensuring better enforcement and tax compliance.
DOF Secretary Ralph Recto emphasized the urgency of stronger systems as digital assets grow in popularity, noting that Filipinos have already invested an estimated ₱6 trillion in crypto.
The announcement was made during the 8th Asia Initiative Meeting in the Maldives, where the Philippines joined 67 other jurisdictions committed to implementing CARF.
Binance Job Posts
Binance denied that it is actively hiring in the Philippines, despite 92 job listings on LinkedIn tagged with “Metro Manila,” sparking confusion within the local crypto community.
The roles, ranging from operations and compliance to marketing, appear as either “remote” or “hybrid,” with some updated in recent weeks.
A Binance spokesperson clarified that the listings likely reflect LinkedIn’s geo-targeting for remote jobs and that the company is not currently recruiting in Manila.
As of June 20, 2025, the job listings are no longer visible.
SparkPoint Attends SuperAI Singapore 2025
Bicol-born web3 firm SparkPoint attended SuperAI Singapore 2025, with CEO Ismael Jerusalem representing the team among 7,000 attendees and over 1,000 global AI companies.
The event, held at Marina Bay Sands, brought together leading voices in artificial intelligence, including Edward Snowden, Balaji Srinivasan, and firms like Unitree Robotics and Zhipu AI.
SparkPoint shared that it explored cutting-edge AI advancements at the conference to enhance its web3 offerings and expand innovation at the intersection of crypto and artificial intelligence.

Local web3 community known as Alpha PH has officially rebranded to WEB3 APAC Private Hub (APH WEB3).
Positioning itself as a private, purpose-driven network, APH WEB3 said it aims to unite traders, gamers, builders, creators, and web3 talents across Asia Pacific, ushering in a “new era” of regional collaboration and growth in the decentralized space.
Web3 Bulacan Member’s Group Wins 3rd Place at PBW iThink Hackathon
Web3 project SKILLMINT won third place at the iThink Hackathon 2025, held during the Philippine Blockchain Week in partnership with Internet Computer Protocol Manila.
The team, including Web3 Bulacan member Murvile, was selected out of 50 participants nationwide.
SKILLMINT presented a web3 platform aimed at helping ICT students earn blockchain-verified skill credentials through events, token rewards, and community engagement.
DynaQuest Rebrands to DynaQuestAI
Marking a strategic shift from traditional business process outsourcing to artificial intelligence solutions, DynaQuest Technology Services Inc. has rebranded to DynaQuest AI.
The company now focuses on delivering AI-powered front desk services tailored for solo professionals and small practices in healthcare, legal, and financial sectors, it shared.
DynaQuest AI is also claiming to offer intelligent virtual agents that handle appointment scheduling, inquiries, cancellations, and workflow integration.
Specialized solutions include branded services such as DentalQuest AI, MediQuest AI, LegalQuest AI, and more, aiming to support small offices with 24/7, cost-effective front desk support without the need to hire additional staff.
