Philippine financial regulators issued a notice to Binance in late November that it was operating without a license in the country. At the same time, it stated that Binance has no authority to sell or issue securities in the country and warned citizens not to use the platform. If Binance does not resolve the issue by the end of February, officials will block its operations. Currently, the Philippine Securities and Exchange Commission is assessing the consequences of banning Binance, while officials are “working with other government agencies to restrict the operations of unregistered entities in the Philippines.” (DLNews)
