Spot crypto is lawful in the Philippines and is supervised as a licensed activity, not tolerated at the margins: Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) Circular No. 1108 (2021) replaced the older Virtual Currency Exchange rules with a Virtual Asset Service Provider (VASP) regime, treats VASPs as money service businesses under BSP's regulatory and examination powers, and requires each one to hold a Certificate of Authority before it may exchange virtual assets against fiat, exchange one virtual asset for another, transfer virtual assets, or hold them in custody. Holding and trading crypto as an individual is not prohibited anywhere in that circular; the licensing burden falls on the provider.
A perpetual on CBRS tracks price and does not confer ownership of the underlying — the same contract mechanics apply in every jurisdiction; what differs by country is legal status and funding rails.
