Is buying bitcoin with PESONet legal in Philippines?

Bitcoin is legal in the Philippines under one of Asia's older regulatory frameworks: the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas has licensed virtual asset service providers since 2017, and the SEC's Crypto-Asset Service Provider rules took effect on July 5, 2025. Enforcement against unregistered platforms is real: regulators had Binance blocked at the network level in 2024 and added ten more offshore exchanges, including Kraken, in August 2025. Buying on licensed platforms is fully lawful.
