After Japan, China and the UK, it appears, the Philippines will be the next country to seek to introduce a digital currency.
A special committee has been formed by the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) to assess the feasibility of such a move as well as the possible consequences.

The governor also pointed out that the blockchain technology itself is more valuable than the digital currency it supports.
