🚨 Philippine SEC Cracks Down on Unregistered Crypto Exchanges — OKX, Bybit, Kraken Among Those Named
🇵🇭 In a decisive regulatory move, the Philippine Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has issued a public warning against major global crypto exchanges for operating without proper registration or licensing.
💱 Exchanges flagged include:
🔹 OKX, Bybit, Kraken, MEXC, Bitget, Phemex, CoinEx, BitMart, and Poloniex.
🔑 Key Points from the SEC Statement:
▫️ These platforms are not registered or authorized to operate or solicit investments in the Philippines
▫️ They are in violation of SEC Memorandum Circulars No. 4 and No. 5, which just came into effect
▫️ The SEC warns that unregistered operations expose Filipino investors to significant risk
💡 This crackdown highlights a growing global trend: nations enforcing stricter oversight on crypto platforms to protect consumers and bring digital assets under regulatory frameworks.
📊 As more countries tighten the regulatory net, compliance is no longer optional — it’s a market requirement.
⚖️ How should global exchanges adapt to this wave of localized regulation?
