"Today we have a world-class platform available to crypto enthusiasts of all levels of sophistication in Latin America. We know that it is a time when many people are starting out in the crypto space, so we have done what it takes to create an intuitive and user-friendly experience, but also added professional features that the most experienced can operate with, and alliances with local banks to deposit and withdraw in local currency safely. There is a great advance in the ecosystem in technological, legal and financial inclusion matters promoted by the Presidency in El Salvador," said Julian Geovo, BITPOINT's Director of Operations for Latin America.

BITPOINT is positioned as the door that connects the crypto world with the traditional financial system, allowing deposits and withdrawals of local currencies in the countries it operates, accompanying them with strict compliance processes, supported by cutting-edge technology in terms of KYC and permanent transactions monitoring.

"We are proof that in crypto things can be done safely and correctly for the user and transparent for the authorities. Today we are already regulated in our country of origin Japan and we follow regulatory processes in several Latin American countries. El Salvador is a benchmark in crypto and we will contribute to the success started by President Bukele," added Geovo.

"We have been established in El Salvador for more than two years, betting the country as the first international player, and today we are pleased to see how the remittance, investment and financial inclusion system is transformed thanks to blockchain technology," concluded Geovo.

Unbeaten Cool Smashers keep Thunderbelles winless

MANILA, Philippines — The defending champion Creamline notched its third straight victory after defeating the winless ZUS Coffee, 25-19, 16-25, 26-24, 25-17, in the 2026-27 Premier Volleyball League (PVL) All-Filipino Conference–Siklab Series on Saturday at the Filoil EcoOil Centre in San Juan City. Creamline improved to 3-0 win-loss record, tied with Nxled at the top of the standings, while ZUS Coffee dropped to 0-3 and joined Galeries Tower Highrisers at the bottom of the team standings. Bernadeth Pons led the Cool Smashers with a double-double performance of 16 points and 14 excellent receptions. Decorated playmaker Jia De Guzman orchestrated the offense with 17 excellent sets.  Middle blocker Pangs Panaga scored 15 points and Tots Carlos added 10 points for the Cool Smashers. Under the Siklab Series’ “all-to-play” rule, which requires every player listed on the statistical sheet to see at least one minute of action, head coach Sherwin Meneses admitted he is still searching for the team’s ideal combination. “Actually, we don’t know how to do it yet, since this is the first time in the Philippines that we’re following an ‘all-to-play’ format,” Meneses said, referring to the second frame where Creamline lost.  “It’s about the players, and we gave our trust to them. As a coach, this is my first time experiencing it too. We haven’t mastered the format yet, but we’re still maneuvering our players. Our advantage is that we have a lot of players; we’re still learning which ones work best together.” Creamline’s veterans also contributed as Jema Galanza added eight points for Creamline and tallied 10 excellent digs in the match, while Michele Gumabao and Bea De Leon both scored six points each. The Thunderbelles, who are still looking for their first win in the tournament, relied on Zam Nolasco's 16-point effort even as Alyanna Ong added 12 points. Creamline will next face Capital 1, while ZUS aims to finally crack through the win column when it faces PLDT on Oct. 29 at the Santiago Sports Arena in Santiago City.
