Coins.ph Connects BTC and ETH to QR Ph, Enabling Crypto Payments at 700,000 Merchants

Coins.ph has extended the Philippines’ national QR Ph network to support bitcoin and ethereum, in addition to USDT and USDC, enabling crypto spending across nearly 700,000 merchants. Early program activity recorded thousands of retail payments totalling millions of Philippine pesos, with users paying for items such as groceries, tuition, and appliances. Coins.ph is also seeking BSP approval to exit a regulatory sandbox and potentially list its peso-backed PHPC stablecoin within the same QR Ph ecosystem.
