BSP Deputy Governor Chuchi Fonacier stated:
“There are 29 pending applications under different stages of processing, i.e., ongoing evaluation, awaiting submission of documentary requirements, and for presentation of business model.”
Currently, only Betur Inc. and Rebittance Inc. have been granted licenses by the BSP to operate a virtual currency exchange in the Philippines.
