Philippines Ranks 2nd in Cryptocurrency Ownership Globally
The Philippines has emerged as a leading nation in cryptocurrency ownership, ranking second globally according to a study commissioned by blockchain company Consensys. The survey conducted by data analytics group YouGov revealed that 52 percent of Filipinos have invested in cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin and Ethereum. This marks an increase from the previous year's figure of 45 percent, indicating growing interest among Filipinos in digital assets.
This surge is attributed partly to the popularity of play-to-earn games like Axie Infinity during the pandemic, which saw significant participation from Filipino players. Despite this enthusiasm for crypto investments, there remains caution due to potential scams and phishing attacks targeting investors. Cybersecurity firm Kaspersky has warned about these threats disguised as giveaway scams or fake wallet pages designed to steal personal information. As reported on Inquirer.net (https://business.inquirer.net/497380/philippines-ranks-2nd-in-cryptocurrency-ownership-globally-study), experts advise vigilance against suspicious emails and links promising quick gains.
