Coins.ph is starting a nationwide education campaign to explain how stablecoins can be used for remittances and payments. The effort includes a Polkadot Stablecoin Adoption Program that gives a one-time reward for first-time users.
The campaign will focus on areas with many families of overseas Filipino workers, including Metro Manila, CALABARZON, and Central Luzon.
The initiative follows the technical integration of the Polkadot Asset Hub into the Coins.ph platform. The upgrade expands the company’s cross-border services by allowing users to send, receive, and transfer stablecoins such as USDT and USDC with faster processing and lower fees. Users can access the feature by choosing the Polkadot network when making deposits or withdrawals of supported stablecoins.
“By reducing the cost and time involved in stablecoin transfers through Polkadot, we are providing a superior solution,” said Wei Zhou, CEO of Coins.ph. “This advancement is beneficial to those receiving crucial remittances from their loved ones across the globe, ensuring more of their hard-earned money stays in their hands.”
Coins.ph said the push toward stablecoins comes at a time when more people worldwide are turning to digital assets for cross-border transfers. Stablecoins are now estimated to make up about 23% of global remittance flows. Projections show that stablecoin-backed remittances in Asia could reach around $250 billion by 2028.
The company said the Polkadot integration gives users lower fees, quicker settlement, and better connectivity with other blockchain networks. It also provides a path for users to access more services built on Polkadot’s expanding Web3 ecosystem.
“Our partnership with Coins.ph is a clear demonstration of how Polkadot’s unique Web3 infrastructure can deliver tangible, real-world impact,” said Nicolas Arevalo, CEO of Velocity Labs and a core contributor to Polkadot.
