A plain guide to the records that matter.
A Filipino who wants to buy crypto meets venues that claim a licence, venues that say nothing, and venues that appeared last month. This site puts three kinds of public record side by side: the licence list of the Bangko Sentral, the SEC's crypto-related advisories, and the creation date of a venue's domain. Each answers a different question.
The Bangko Sentral publishes a list of virtual asset service providers it has licensed; check it before you send money.
The SEC issues advisories about crypto platforms and schemes; read them as warnings, not verdicts.
A venue's domain registration date is a clue about how long it has been around, but it proves nothing by itself.
Crypto service providers on the central bank's list
Each row is an institution as the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas lists it, under the status the list gives. The date is the list's own "as of" date; the list gives no date per institution.

Opening an account means agreeing to a contract
The account is with FxPro, an international broker offering CFDs on currencies, metals, indices, shares and crypto. A CFD is an agreement on a price; no asset is delivered and nothing is registered in your name. CFDs are leveraged and carry a high risk of losing the money deposited.
