Several prominent Filipino banks are set to launch a peso-backed stablecoin called PHPX to improve cross-border payments via Hedera Distributed Ledger Technology. This initiative specifically aims to benefit Filipinos working abroad.

Shift Toward a Publicly Exchangeable Stablecoin

For years, UnionBank, through its fintech spin-off UBX, has been active in blockchain development, including operating a quasi-stablecoin network within a closed loop. Now, the bank aims to create a publicly exchangeable stablecoin that extends beyond the existing closed-loop system.

The Role of PHPX in Cross-Border Remittances

The Philippines is one of the world’s top remittance recipients, with over $40 billion inflow annually. Current remittance systems are often slow and costly. PHPX seeks to address these issues with blockchain technology, offering faster and cheaper services.

Solution for Multi-Currency Stablecoin Exchange

Cross-border payments require currency exchange. PHPX plans to create a multi-currency stablecoin exchange, allowing users to swap PHPX with other stablecoins like USD, SGD, or JPY. This system will adhere to regulatory frameworks and depend on liquidity providers, including participating banks.

The earliest launch date for PHPX is expected between May and July this year, pending regulatory approval. This stablecoin could significantly enhance international remittance systems for Filipinos abroad by providing faster and more cost-effective solutions.
