The head of the Philippines SEC clarified that Binance and any other unregistered exchange issued with an advisory has three months before they are banned from the country.
The Philippine SEC announced that Binance has been actively promoting itself on various social media platforms to attract Filipinos for investment and trading activities.
Binance has been given three months by the SEC "to give Filipino investors who have holdings in Binance to close their positions and take out their investments."
The Philippine SEC's warning reflects a broader regulatory crackdown on Binance, aligning with global efforts to tighten oversight. Binance's legal woes, including the US settlement, have prompted operational changes and heightened regulatory awareness.
