The Binance mobile app is no longer available on the Google Play Store for users in the Philippines.
A search for “Binance” now shows local alternatives like Coins.ph and region-specific Binance apps for other countries, such as Binance TH (Thailand) and Binance TR (Turkey). The main global platform is missing.
The removal is part of ongoing enforcement by the Philippine SEC and National Telecommunications Commission (NTC). The SEC previously warned that Binance lacked the proper license to offer securities in the country.
This step prevents new users from downloading the app and may stop existing users from receiving updates through Google Play.
Web access to Binance is also blocked. Users report errors like “Privacy Error” or “Site can’t be reached” when visiting Binance’s website.
The Philippine crackdown on unlicensed crypto exchanges began in late 2023. Binance received an initial advisory in November 2023, and after a grace period, the SEC asked the NTC to block the website.
As of now, the app is still unavailable on Google Play, and access to the platform remains restricted across local internet providers.
