The Philippine Securities and Exchange Commission said it is ready to embrace the tokenization of real-world assets, or RWAs.
Cointelegraph reported on June 20 that Rogelio Quevedo, a commissioner at the Philippine SEC, told Philippine Blockchain Week 2026 the agency is confident it has the legal and regulatory framework needed to support asset tokenization.
He said tokenization technology could spur innovation in capital markets and change how stock exchanges operate. It could also help overseas Filipino workers gain access to more legitimate investment products.
That confidence appears to reflect the Philippine SEC's current regulatory sandbox program. Through its strategic sandbox, the regulator is allowing fintech companies to test new financial products and business models in a live environment.
The Philippine SEC selected four companies for the sandbox in November 2025. One of them is testing a real-estate tokenization product, while two others are piloting investment products tied to U.S. stocks.
