The Philippine National Telecommunications Commission (NTC) has recently ordered ISPs to block access to over 50 unlicensed crypto platforms, including exchanges like Coinbase and Gemini, as part of a crackdown on unregulated financial services. This stems from directives by the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) to enforce compliance.

Hive blockchain, being decentralized with no central servers or IP addresses to target easily, is harder to block than centralized services. However, NTC could theoretically restrict access via DNS blocking, IP filtering, or ISP-level firewalls, similar to past blocks on sites like torrent platforms or offshore gambling. Users might bypass this using VPNs or decentralized gateways.

No specific block on Hive has been announced yet, but the trend suggests possible future action if regulators view it as non-compliant. Check official BSP/NTC updates for the latest.
