Crypto exchange platform Coins.ph is rolling out a nationwide education campaign aimed at helping Filipinos cut remittance costs by promoting the use of stablecoins for cross-border transfers.
The program will run from late 2025 to the second quarter of 2026, focusing on OFW-heavy regions such as Metro Manila, Calabarzon, and Central Luzon.
The initiative follows the platform’s recent integration of the Polkadot Asset Hub, a blockchain network optimized for faster and cheaper stablecoin transactions.
With the upgrade, Coins.ph users can now send and receive USDT, USDC, and other supported tokens over the Polkadot network, lowering fees and speeding up transfer times.
Coins.ph said the enhanced system is expected to benefit overseas workers and their families, who often face high remittance charges through traditional banking channels.
The company plans to pair the education drive with a stablecoin adoption program that includes a one-time reward for first-time users.
The broader push comes as stablecoins gain traction globally as an alternative remittance rail. Industry estimates show that dollar-pegged digital assets already account for nearly a quarter of global remittance flows, with Asia projected to handle about $250 billion in stablecoin-backed transfers by 2028.
Executives from both Coins.ph and Polkadot said the integration improves user experience through lower fees, faster transaction finality, and easier access to Web3 services built on the Polkadot ecosystem.
The campaign is positioned to expand public understanding of blockchain-based remittances at a time when the Philippines remains one of the world’s largest recipients of overseas worker funds.
