Over 75% of Filipinos Hit by Scams as SEC and TikTok Take Action

2025/12/10 14:26

The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has partnered with TikTok to launch a public education initiative aimed at combating financial scams and investment fraud.

The SEC and ByteDance Philippines Inc. formalised the collaboration by signing a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) on 9 December 2025 in Taguig City.

SEC Commissioner Rogelio Quevedo highlighted the platform’s ability to engage the public through video, noting that preventing fraud is essential to maintaining investor confidence.

Under the agreement, the SEC will refer suspected fraudulent content to TikTok for review against the platform’s community guidelines.

The partnership also involves co-developing videos for the #ThinkTwice campaign, designed to teach users how to verify information and avoid schemes.

The initial video will specifically address Ponzi schemes.

This initiative follows a survey by the Global Anti-Scam Alliance, which found that over 75% of Filipino adults encountered at least one scam in the past year.

Yves Gonzalez, Head of Public Policy for the Philippines at TikTok, stated that the platform has always prioritised the safety of its community, investing in technology, human moderation, and educational initiatives to get ahead of emerging threats.

The educational content will be distributed via TikTok’s social channels and the #ThinkTwice Resource Hub.

In addition to content creation, the partners will hold policy dialogues to discuss fraud trends and risk controls for financial services on the platform.

3 Paradoxes of Altcoin Season in September

The post 3 Paradoxes of Altcoin Season in September appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Analyses and data indicate that the crypto market is experiencing its most active altcoin season since early 2025, with many altcoins outperforming Bitcoin. However, behind this excitement lies a paradox. Most retail investors remain uneasy as their portfolios show little to no profit. This article outlines the main reasons behind this situation. Altcoin Market Cap Rises but Dominance Shrinks Sponsored TradingView data shows that the TOTAL3 market cap (excluding BTC and ETH) reached a new high of over $1.1 trillion in September. Yet the share of OTHERS (excluding the top 10) has declined since 2022, now standing at just 8%. OTHERS Dominance And TOTAL3 Capitalization. Source: TradingView. In past cycles, such as 2017 and 2021, TOTAL3 and OTHERS.D rose together. That trend reflected capital flowing not only into large-cap altcoins but also into mid-cap and low-cap ones. The current divergence shows that capital is concentrated in stablecoins and a handful of top-10 altcoins such as SOL, XRP, BNB, DOG, HYPE, and LINK. Smaller altcoins receive far less liquidity, making it hard for their prices to return to levels where investors previously bought. This creates a situation where only a few win while most face losses. Retail investors also tend to diversify across many coins instead of adding size to top altcoins. That explains why many portfolios remain stagnant despite a broader market rally. Sponsored “Position sizing is everything. Many people hold 25–30 tokens at once. A 100x on a token that makes up only 1% of your portfolio won’t meaningfully change your life. It’s better to make a few high-conviction bets than to overdiversify,” analyst The DeFi Investor said. Altcoin Index Surges but Investor Sentiment Remains Cautious The Altcoin Season Index from Blockchain Center now stands at 80 points. This indicates that over 80% of the top 50 altcoins outperformed…
