Locally licensed crypto platform Coins.ph launched a limited-time low-cost trading promotion for its USDT/PHP pair through its TradeDesk platform. This offers a record-low spread aimed at active, high-volume traders.
The promotion, which runs from October 15 to December 15, 2025, allows eligible Coins.ph TradeDesk users to trade USDT and PHP at a spread of just three basis points (0.03%).
The firm noted that this is the lowest rate ever offered on the platform. The move significantly reduces transaction costs for professional and institutional traders.
To qualify for the offer, traders must execute a minimum transaction of ₱1 million per trade, with no maximum trade limit.
Coins.ph CEO Wei Zhou said the initiative aims to position Coins.ph TradeDesk as the leading platform for high-volume digital asset trading in the Philippines.
“By introducing this industry-leading spread, we are directly empowering traders with the cost-efficiency and deep liquidity they need to succeed.”
