GoTyme Bank and Alpaca Launch Crypto Trading in Philippines

GoTyme Bank and Alpaca have partnered to bring cryptocurrency trading to the Philippines. Using Alpaca’s infrastructure, GoTyme aims to transform the financial landscape through innovative solutions.

GoTyme Bank, a collaboration between the Gokongwei Group and Tyme Group, seeks to empower Filipinos by launching GoTyme Crypto, providing secure and innovative financial services. Nate Clarke, President and CEO of GoTyme Bank, stated, “Our goal is to become the most transformative bank in the Philippines—one that empowers every Filipino to unlock their financial potential. The launch of GoTyme Crypto is a major step toward that vision as we continue to deliver world-class financial solutions that combine security, simplicity, and innovation.”

The launch targets the Philippines’ growing interest in digital assets, with 11 cryptocurrencies, including Bitcoin and Ethereum, available for trading. It’s expected to facilitate seamless crypto investment through automatic PHP-to-USD conversion.

Market analysts predict increased crypto adoption and financial inclusion. While regulatory updates from Philippine authorities are absent, GoTyme’s secure, AML-compliant platform fosters trust. Observers note the country’s significant digital economy engagement.

No previous comparable largescale collaborations in the region’s banking sector were found. The initiative mirrors TymeBank’s South African model, integrating traditional banking with crypto capabilities.

Kanalcoin experts anticipate that this move aligns with the Philippines’ early digital asset adoption trend. They highlight potential wealth-building opportunities due to reduced barriers to crypto market entry.
