Moneybees, a leading virtual asset service provider, has expanded its over-the-counter (OTC) cryptocurrency exchange service with its latest collaboration with the newly-opened JK BitcoinHub, a new venture managed and operated by PSulit Money Changer and located in the bustling Molito Commercial Complex of Alabang, Muntinlupa City.

“The opening of JK BitcoinHub, operated and managed by PSulit, will help increase access to crypto markets. Working with PSulit Money Changer, one of the most trusted money exchange companies in the Philippines, demonstrates our dedication to providing greater accessibility and convenience to our consumers while embracing the developing world of digital assets and financial technologies,” Moneybees Chairman and CEO Jay Ricky Villarante stated.

This latest development with JK BitcoinHub in Molito, Alabang, is an addition to the existing network of crypto service hubs that Moneybees has established in partnership with PSulit Money Changer. These include strategic locations in Intrepid Plaza in Quezon City and Alphaland Southgate Mall in Makati City.

Jennalyn H. Villarante, owner of PSulit Money Changer, stated, “As the world becomes increasingly digital, PSulit Money Changer must adapt to meet the needs of our customers.

With this, Villarante anticipates a heightened demand for reputable crypto exchanges as local traders seek trustworthy and in-person transactions.

“​​Regulatory developments, such as the United States, can impact the global crypto industry. This includes the Philippines, potentially boosting liquidity and attracting larger transactions while ensuring compliance with local regulations. Institutional investors seeking portfolio diversification may turn to OTC services for significant cryptocurrency transactions,” Villarante shared.
