🚨 PHILIPPINES CENTRAL BANK PROPOSES 12-MONTH FREEZE ON PAYMENT OPERATORS & TIGHTENS CRYPTO CONTROLS! 🚨

The Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) has unveiled draft regulations to suspend new Operator of Payment System (OPS) registrations while tightening oversight on crypto payment flows! 📉🇵🇭

Key Takeaways:
🔹 12-Month Pause: BSP plans a one-year freeze on accepting/approving new OPS applications to review its licensing and risk framework.
🔹 Strict Crypto/VASP Mandates: Financial institutions serving Virtual Asset Service Providers (VASPs) must implement direct arrangements, enhanced due diligence, and strict transaction & settlement limits.
🔹 Quick Implementation: If finalized, the new rules will take effect just 15 days after official publication.

Regulators are continuing to tighten anti-money laundering and risk frameworks around crypto-fiat gateways. 🛡️
