Reported as a scam / unregulated
Why Coins.ph is on the register
According to its website, Coins.ph is fully regulated by the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP). However, after verification, it was found that the Philippines has no rules regarding commodity futures contracts (including foreign exchange). In other words, the Philippines does not regulate foreign exchange, so it does not have the qualifications for foreign exchange transactions. The truth is that Coins.ph is not regulated by any regulators. Letting it hold or control investors’ money is unsafe, and the money can not be protected by any laws. Therefore, Coins.ph is a scam.
If you have money with this broker
- Stop sending funds. Do not pay any further “fees”, “taxes” or “verification” charges to release a withdrawal — this is a common secondary scam.
- Preserve evidence. Save transaction IDs, wallet addresses, chat logs, and every screenshot before the account is closed.
- Report it. Notify your bank/exchange and your national financial regulator so the activity is on record.
- Get guidance. Tell us what happened and we will point you toward the right next step. We are a free public registry — we never charge any fees.
