Philippine Securities and Exchange Commission Commissioner Rogelio Quevedo told Cointelegraph that tokenized assets could provide Filipinos with more legitimate investment options while helping guide them away from scams. His remarks signal that the Philippine SEC is prepared to engage with RWA tokenization as part of the country’s regulated investment landscape.
RWA Tokenization Framed Around Investor Protection
RWA generally refers to real-world assets, while tokenization describes representing rights or exposure to those assets through blockchain-based tokens. In Quevedo’s comments, the emphasis was not only on expanding access to investment products, but also on reducing the appeal of fraudulent schemes by giving Filipinos more legitimate alternatives.
The report did not include details on specific asset classes, implementation timelines or rulemaking steps. The confirmed point is that a Philippine SEC commissioner publicly linked tokenized assets with broader legal investment access and scam prevention. For the Philippine market, the statement places RWA tokenization within the context of regulated options and investor safeguards.
