<p>In detail, licensed crypto exchange Direct Agent 5, Inc. (DA5) has teamed up with Gurufin to introduce the PHMU stablecoin project, pegged 1:1 to the Philippine Peso. This initiative, aimed at streamlining money transfers in the Philippines, emerged from the collaboration between DA5 and Gurufin, a Layer-1 Hybrid Mainnet integrating real-economy payment services with blockchain technology, formalized on August 9, 2023.</p> 
<p>PHMU is part of the growing trend of stablecoins, cryptocurrencies pegged to reference assets, designed to maintain a consistent value. In this case, PHMU is backed by the Philippine Peso at a 1:1 ratio.</p> 
<p>What sets <a href="https://cryptonewsland.com/philippines-smart-communications-leaps-into-web3-era-with-blockchainspace/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">PHMU apart is its commitment</a> to low and stable transaction costs, avoiding the volatile gas fees seen on other major chains, thanks to its operation on its own Layer 1 chain.</p> 
<p>DA5, a licensed Philippine Western Union Agent, holds licenses as a virtual asset service provider (VASP), electronic money issuer (EMI), and provider of electronic payment and financial services (EPFS) from the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP).</p> 
<p>The stablecoin will initially be accessible via the <a href="https://surgepay.app/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">SurgePay Community Wallet</a> within the combined ecosystems of DA5 and Gurufin, followed by availability in DA5’s extensive network of over 1,800 branches.</p> 
<p>Stablecoins pegged to the Philippine Peso are not yet widely adopted in the country. However, this initiative by DA5, along with previous efforts by institutions like UnionBank of the Philippines, <a href="https://cryptonewsland.com/the-philippines-discusses-blockchain-based-elections/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">demonstrates the growing interest</a> in stablecoin adoption for efficient payment transactions in the Philippines.</p>
