Union Bank of the Philippines Launching Cryptocurrency ATM

Quote
One of the largest banks in the Philippines is reportedly launching a two-way cryptocurrency ATM that is in compliance with Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas’ specifications. In the Philippines, the central bank regulates cryptocurrencies “when used for delivery of financial services, particularly, for payments and remittances.”

Another compelling moved that the Philippines is really working hard and getting closer to adopt bitcoin as one of the biggest bank in the country is launching a crypto ATM. Union Bank seems to be spearheading this, and as far as I can remember this bank is one of the first if not the first to integrate Paypal as well in the country. So let's see how it goes.


In a developing country like Philippines, this a great opportunity to improve the economy and the nation as a whole as well. Through this, I can foresee that crypto will become more popular in the country and will take interest to the different industries that can also adapt crypto in their business transactions. I hope it will continue to the other banks as well.

What do you mean improved the economy? Unless anything related to crypto will create thousands of jobs for the country, I don't think it will have a significant effect financially.

Philippines though has show a lot of improvements lately, specially regarding crypto by fully regulating it through BSP, but it won't be enough in my opinion to push the country or at least help or improved their economy, just saying.
