Partnership Formation: Binance has partnered with BlockShoals Technologies, which is an approved participant under the Philippine SEC’s StratBox sandbox framework, to act as a local intermediary, thereby paving the way for Binance's regulated return to the Philippine market.
Regulatory Sandbox Initiative: The partnership is set to launch in the second half of 2026 and will last for at least two years, aiming to test a tailored platform experience for users in the Philippines within a supervised environment, ensuring compliance with regulatory milestones established by the SEC.
Market Access Challenges: Despite the collaboration with BlockShoals providing a new entry route, Binance remains blocked in the Philippines due to the SEC's findings in 2024 that it was offering unregistered securities and operating as an unlicensed broker, leading to its website being blocked.
Strengthened Industry Regulation: The Philippines implemented stricter rules for crypto asset service providers in July 2025, requiring all crypto service providers to register and maintain a local corporate presence, with unregistered platforms facing potential cease and desist orders and criminal complaints, thus providing a clear regulatory rationale for Binance's sandbox approach.

About LUNA

Terra (LUNA) is a public blockchain protocol that emerged from Terra Classic. Terra Classic is home to the algorithmic stablecoin TerraClassicUSD (UST). It's now-renamed LUNC token collateralized UST, which crashed in a bank run in May 2022. That devalued LUNA to virtually zero and caused a launch of a new chain — resulting in Terra Classic and Terra. Read a full breakdown of the Terra crash here.The development of Terra Classic launched in January 2018 and the blockchain launched in April 2019. It attempted to combine the price stability and wide adoption of fiat currencies with the censorship-resistance of Bitcoin (BTC) and offer fast and affordable settlements through its UST stablecoin. Terra Classic offered stablecoins pegged to the U.S. dollar, South Korean won, Mongolian tugrik, and the International Monetary Fund's Special Drawing Rights basket of currencies.The new Terra blockchain continues the legacy of Terra Classic without the UST stablecoin. It will keep building with the help of the LUNA community dubbed “LUNAtics” and evolve the world-class UX and UI that brought Terra Classic up to second place in total value locked (TVL) at its peak. Many DApps have agreed to migrate to Terra to continue their functionality.
