company websites that offer investment products without necessary permits in the country. Websites of cryptocurrency companies MiTrade and OctaFX are currently inaccessible in the Philippines.

Commissioner Kelvin Lee of the Philippine Securities and Exchange Commission stated that the ban on Binance, which was issued three months after November 29 last year, was supposed to take effect on February 29.
