The regulator filed a formal request with the national telecommunications agency on March 12 to help in “blocking the website and other web pages used by Binance, which was found to have offered an investment and trading platform without the necessary license.”
“The SEC has identified the aforementioned platform and concluded that the public’s continued access to these websites/apps poses a threat to the security of the funds of investing Filipinos,” SEC Chairperson Emilio B. Aquino said in the letter addressed to the telecommunications agency.
