The Philippine Securities and Exchange Commission has indicated strong support for the development of real-world asset tokenization within the country’s financial system.
Speaking during Philippine Blockchain Week 2026, SEC Commissioner Rogelio Quevedo stated that regulators now possess both the legal framework and institutional expertise required to oversee tokenized asset markets effectively.
According to Quevedo, asset tokenization has the potential to expand access to legitimate investment opportunities while reducing exposure to fraudulent schemes that have historically affected some investors.
By converting traditional assets into blockchain-based digital representations, tokenization can improve efficiency, transparency, and accessibility within capital markets.
The commissioner also suggested that the technology could modernize traditional stock exchange operations and create new opportunities for market participation. Supporters argue that tokenized assets may increase liquidity and lower barriers to entry for investors.
The remarks demonstrate growing confidence among Philippine regulators that blockchain technology can play a constructive role in the evolution of financial markets and investment infrastructure.
