April 17, 2024, Manila, Philippines – In a significant move to raise the bar for crypto education in the Philippines and widen access to innovative web3 learning tools, Coins.ph, the leading crypto exchange in the country, has joined forces with XD Academy, a global pioneer in web3 and cryptocurrency learning and certification. 

“With the Bitcoin Halving just days away, there will be more demand for Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies,” said Wei Zhou, CEO of Coins.ph. “Since Coins is the leading source of Bitcoin in the Philippines, it’s important we provide users with world-class education to empower them as they navigate the cryptocurrency market.” 

Through the partnership, Filipinos will be able to learn from cryptocurrency courses and educational short-form content online, beginning with a comprehensive exploration into the Economics of Bitcoin.

“As the author of the best-selling book The Bitcoin Standard, Saifedean Ammous has probably educated more people about bitcoin than anyone alive,” said Lawrence Linker, CEO of XD Academy. “We are very pleased to have him as an instructor for this introductory course on the economics underpinning bitcoin.” 

Economics of Bitcoin will trace the history of money, exploring its earliest forms all the way to the fiat currency system we know today. From there, the course will dive into Bitcoin – its scarcity, limited supply and fungibility, as well as address broader implications of Bitcoin on the future of financial systems, and how it’s redefining money as we know it today.

The course will be available for all 18 million Coins users by May, marking a significant milestone in ensuring that every Filipino has access to world-class cryptocurrency education. The aim is to make learning about cryptocurrency accessible and engaging, utilizing formats that resonate with learners of all ages and at various stages of their cryptocurrency journey.

As a Learn to Earn platform, XD Academy offers rewards for students as they learn more about crypto and participate in the community.
