Crypto Updates from the Philippines: TravelX Expansion to PayFi in Siargao

TravelX’s expansion in the Philippines, CoinEx’s activities in the country, Worldcoin participants in Bulacan, the emergence of Duterte memecoins, and the partnership between Bitget Wallet and Buhayin to boost digital inclusion in Siargao are just some of the notable crypto updates from the Philippines this past week.

TravelX’s partnership with Cebu Pacific Air to enhance post-booking revenue management using blockchain-based solutions is set to revolutionize airline operations. CoinEx’s sponsorship of the National Chess Federation of the Philippines Chess Championships and participation in Pasigarbo 2025 at Holy Name University showcases their commitment to the Filipino market.

However, not all crypto initiatives have been met with the same enthusiasm. Worldcoin’s iris scanning project in Bulacan received mixed reactions, with some participants expressing concerns over privacy and withdrawal issues. Similarly, Duterte memecoins, inspired by the arrest of the former Philippine President, have seen minimal trading activity despite their high-profile theme.

On a more positive note, the partnership between Bitget Wallet, Buhayin, and PayFi in Siargao aims to enhance financial and digital inclusion through blockchain-based financial tools and digital literacy programs. This collaboration is a step towards empowering local businesses and residents with fast and low-cost transactions.

As the crypto landscape in the Philippines continues to evolve, it’s essential to stay connected and informed about the latest developments. Share your thoughts or questions on these updates and stay tuned for more news from the world of crypto in the Philippines and beyond.
