Customers can buy and sell virtual assets in the Coins.ph platform. Given the volatility of virtual asset prices, the rates or the Peso value may differ from what customers are expecting. In order to educate customers about the risks involved in virtual assets, the Coins.ph Help Center has an extensive section on the basics of cryptocurrency and the conversion rates used in Coins.ph.
2. Concerns related to sending and receiving virtual assets
The processing time for sending or receiving virtual assets depends on the specific VA that customers transact.
All incoming transfers to Coins.ph accounts are credited to customers’ wallet addresses if it has a valid transaction hash and if it has reached the required number of confirmations. The list of required confirmations per virtual asset can be found here.
For outgoing transfers, Coins.ph posts the transactions in the network in a timely manner. However, it is important to note that processing of these transfers would depend on the blockchain activity and how soon miners can process posted transfers. .
