Paano Piliin ang Crypto Exchange na Bagay para sa Filipino

Hindi sa pangalan — sa 6 criteria na importante para sa Filipino.

Criterion 1: GCash/Maya P2P

Walang GCash = impractical. Verify:

• P2P with PHP sellers
• Deposit/withdraw via GCash/Maya
• Spread P2P competitive (<1%)

❌ Coinbase, Kraken — walang PHP ✅ Gate.io — GCash P2P

Criterion 2: Real Total Fee

Spot fee ≠ total cost. Calculate:

• Spread P2P (buy USDT via GCash)
• Fee spot (buy BTC/ETH with USDT)
• Total = spread + fee

Gate.io: 0.5-1% + 0.2% = 0.7-1.2% Binance: 1-2% + 0.1% = 1.1-2.1% Coinbase: 2-3% + 1.5% + $25 = 4-6%

Criterion 3: Security

• 2FA Google Auth ✅
• Anti-phishing code ✅
• Hack history (reimbursed?)
• Insurance/reserve

Gate.io: 13 years, hack reimbursed 100% Binance: SAFU, never hacked

Criterion 4: Crypto Count

BTC/ETH only → 250+ enough Altcoins → 3,700+ needed

Gate.io: 3,700+ (most variety)

Criterion 5: KYC Valid ID

• Valid ID accepted ✅ (PhilSys, driver’s license, passport)
• Selfie simple
• Approval <10 min

Gate.io ✅ Binance ✅ Coinbase ❌ (passport + English proof)

Criterion 6: BSP Regulation

BSP pwede mag-block crypto. Risk for both.

• Don’t keep > ₱20,000 sa exchange
• Independent wallet (seed phrase)
• P2P within exchange

See Anti-Block.

Checklist

• GCash/Maya P2P?
• Fee total <1.5%?
• 2FA + anti-phishing?
• KYC valid ID?
• Crypto enough?
• BSP risk acceptable?
