Coins.ph Chief Executive Officer Wei Zhou has been named to the 2026 Stablecoins Influential List by Stablecon, a global platform dedicated to the stablecoin and digital payments sector.
Zhou was selected under the Exchanges, On/Off Ramps, and Consumer Access category. Honorees were selected through an evaluation process assessing ecosystem influence, impact and reach, innovation, momentum, and peer recognition.
Operations and Last-Mile Infrastructure
According to the company, Coins.ph utilizes stablecoins including USDT and USDC to facilitate cross-border payments, digital remittances, and merchant transactions. The platform operates as a disbursement partner for global Money Transfer Operators (MTOs) to route cross-border fund settlements to local bank accounts, e-wallets, and physical cash-out locations.
“For years, we’ve focused on making stablecoins accessible, reliable, and practically free to move,” Zhou said in a statement. “Whether it is enabling someone to buy their morning coffee via QRPh using USDT or acting as the trusted last-mile bridge for OFW families—we are committed to building a low-friction financial gateway.”
To support consumer awareness, Coins.ph has conducted regional roadshow activities across major urban areas in the Philippines to demonstrate stablecoin utility.
Recent Platform Developments
