The Philippine Securities and Exchange Commission hosted the “Fintech Forward: Shaping Innovation and Investor Protection in the Digital Age” forum on 28 October at its headquarters in Makati City, bringing together regulators and cryptocurrency industry leaders to discuss regulatory and market dynamics in financial technology and investor protection. The programme included a roundtable on the Philippines’ regulatory landscape for digital assets and panel discussions on the evolving framework for cryptocurrency regulation, the use of emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence in investor protection, and approaches to tackling fraud and scams in digital finance. The event was held as part of World Investor Week, a campaign spearheaded by the International Organization of Securities Commissions, and the SEC highlighted its June issuance of SEC Memorandum Circular Nos. 4 and 5, Series of 2025, setting out rules for crypto-asset service providers and their operations.
