  In the Philippines, the use of digital currencies is regulated by the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP), the country's central bank. The BSP has issued guidelines to ensure the safe and secure use of digital currencies. These guidelines include requirements for digital currency exchanges to register with the BSP and implement anti-money laundering and customer identification measures. The BSP also monitors the transactions and activities of digital currency exchanges to prevent illegal activities such as money laundering and terrorist financing.
