Philippine Securities and Exchange Commission Commissioner Rogelio Quevedo told Cointelegraph that tokenized assets could give Filipinos more legitimate investment options and help guide them away from scams. The comment signals that the Philippine SEC is prepared to engage with developments around RWA tokenization.
Tokenized assets framed as legitimate investment access
RWA tokenization generally refers to representing real-world assets through tokens on a blockchain. In Quevedo’s remarks, the emphasis was not on trading prices or market speculation, but on the legitimacy of investment channels available to Filipino investors.
According to the Cointelegraph report, Quevedo said tokenized assets could expand the range of lawful investment choices in the Philippines. By providing more legitimate options, such assets could also reduce the appeal of scam offerings targeting local investors.
The statement places investor protection and compliant product access within the same regulatory discussion. It also brings RWA tokenization into the policy and regulatory conversation in the Philippine crypto market.
