Furthermore, several universities in the Philippines have incorporated knowledge of the crypto market and Bitcoin into their curricula or individual courses to help students access blockchain and the crypto market.

Besides, 127-year-old Sullivan Bank has begun to provide Bitcoin transaction services, which is good news for the development of Bitcoin as well as cryptocurrencies.
