Coins.ph and Higlobe Unlock Faster, Fairer Payments for Filipino Freelancers
MANILA, Philippines & PALO ALTO, Calif. – August 8, 2025 – Higlobe, a fintech company streamlining international payments for freelancers and businesses, today announced a major partnership with Coins.ph, the Philippines’ leading crypto exchange platform. This partnership aims to reduce high remittance fees and eliminate hidden charges, ensuring more income stays in the hands of Filipino workers. Every year, thousands of freelancers in the Philippines lose a chunk of their earnings due to inflated exchange rates, platform fees, and slow transfers. Through this collaboration, users can now receive payments from U.S.-based clients through Higlobe’s zero-fee platform and conveniently convert their funds to Philippine Peso using the Coins.ph app, seamlessly and at a lower cost. The collaboration combines Higlobe’s innovative stablecoin-powered infrastructure with Coins.ph’s trust, giving users fast, secure access to their money and enabling broader financial inclusion across the country. “We hear this all the time: a Filipino freelancer earns $1000, but by the time it lands in their local account, they’ve lost ₱1,000 to ₱2,000 in bad exchange rates and fees. We’re changing that. Our lowest-cost guarantee ensures that Filipinos keep more of their hard-earned money—money that should go to their families, not to payment middlemen,” said Algie Mabasa, Country Manager at Higlobe. A New Standard for Cross-Border Payments With this new partnership, Filipino freelancers and service providers can now: * Receive USD payments from U.S. clients into a free, dedicated U.S. receiving account * Convert funds with Higlobe’s lowest-cost guarantee and zero transfer fees * Withdraw in pesos to any local bank, ensuring the highest possible take-home pay Higlobe’s lowest-cost guarantee means that if users find a cheaper way to receive international payments, including any fees and exchange rate markups—Higlobe will match the price. This makes it the first and only cross-border payment service with this kind of promise. A Timely Solution for the Growing Freelance Economy As more Filipinos turn to online work, finding efficient ways to receive international payments is more important than ever. The Philippines is home to over 1.5 million freelancers and counting. This new payment rail offers real, measurable impact, keeping more pesos in households and less in fees. “At Coins.ph, we’re committed to making crypto useful and accessible in everyday life,” said Jen Bilango, Country Manager at Coins.ph. “This partnership with Higlobe empowers Filipino freelancers to access their earnings faster, more affordably, and with full control over their money. It’s a win for inclusion, value, and digital finance.” Starting today, Filipino freelancers can sign up for a free account at higlobe.com to begin using the service. This partnership marks a bold step toward financial inclusion, bringing global payments into the hands of Filipinos, faster, fairer, and on their terms.

Coins.ph Goes Nationwide, Sharplink ETH Drive, and UAE Unifies Crypto
Coins.ph Launches Nationwide Mall Activations to Boost Crypto Adoption Coins.ph is hosting a series of in-person mall events across Metro Manila and nearby provinces from August 2 to 16, 2025, to make cryptocurrency more accessible to Filipinos. The activations offer hands-on assistance for creating accounts, buying and selling crypto, and cashing out to local banks or e-wallets, with exclusive rewards for on-site sign-ups and verification. CEO Wei Zhou says the initiative supports the company’s mission to educate and onboard more Filipinos into safe, simple, and practical use of digital assets, aligning with the country’s strong global standing in crypto adoption. (FinTech News) Sharplink Gaming to Raise $200M for Ethereum Treasury Expansion Sharplink Gaming is selling $200 million worth of common stock at $19.50 per share to institutional investors to grow its Ethereum holdings, currently valued at $1.9 billion. The sports gambling marketing firm aims to hold 1% of all ETH in circulation, building on its accumulation strategy launched in June. The raise follows a broader trend of public companies amassing large crypto reserves, with Ethereum recently trading at $3,812, near its two-year high. (Decrypt) UAE Unifies Crypto Oversight Under SCA–VARA Partnership The UAE’s Securities and Commodities Authority (SCA) and Dubai’s Virtual Assets Regulatory Authority (VARA) have formalized a strategic partnership to harmonize crypto regulations nationwide. The deal introduces mutual license recognition for virtual asset service providers (VASPs), streamlining approvals and reducing operational risks, though it stops short of automatic passporting. Key measures include a unified VASP registration framework, joint supervision, real-time data sharing, and coordinated AML/CFT oversight, alongside a Legislative Review Committee to align rules with global best practices. Officials say the move strengthens the UAE’s appeal as a transparent, innovation-driven hub for virtual assets. (Cointelegraph) MetaMask Adds Sei Blockchain, Expanding Multi-Chain Access MetaMask has integrated Layer 1 blockchain Sei, enabling its 100+ million users to access Sei-based dapps, tokens, NFTs, and DeFi directly from the wallet. The update includes native swaps, bridges, fiat onramps, and a dedicated Sei ecosystem page within MetaMask Portfolio. Sei, now processing 4.2 million daily transactions and holding over $600M TVL, recently launched its EVM-compatible Sei V2. The move reflects MetaMask’s broader push to support both EVM and non-EVM chains, joining networks like Arbitrum, Solana, and BNB Chain. (The Block) OpenAI Rolls Out GPT-5 to All ChatGPT Users, Including Free Tier OpenAI has launched GPT-5, its latest AI model, to all ChatGPT users, including those on the free plan, for the first time. The new model is faster, smarter, and less prone to hallucinations, with improved safety measures and 5,000 hours of testing. GPT-5 introduces reasoning capabilities to free users, while Plus and Pro subscribers get higher limits and exclusive access to GPT-5 Pro. The update is expected to help ChatGPT reach 700 million weekly active users, and developers can now access three API versions—gpt-5, gpt-5-mini, and gpt-5-nano—tailored for different performance and cost needs. (Watcher Guru) KakaoBank Prepares to Enter South Korea’s Stablecoin Market Amid Policy Push KakaoBank is exploring stablecoin issuance and custody services in collaboration with Kakao’s stablecoin task force, positioning itself for South Korea’s emerging won-based stablecoin market. The move aligns with President Lee Jae Myung’s push for a local stablecoin framework to curb capital flight, with supporting legislation already proposed. Backed by its role in the Bank of Korea’s CBDC trial and robust growth in H1 2025, KakaoBank is leveraging its tech capabilities and risk management expertise to compete in the evolving digital finance space.
