TIEZA Partners with GCash to Digitise Travel Tax Refunds

The Tourism Infrastructure and Enterprise Zone Authority (TIEZA) has partnered with G-Xchange, Inc. (GXI), the operator of GCash, to expedite travel tax refunds for Filipino travellers.

Formalised through a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) signed on 9 December 2025 in Makati City, the agreement enables TIEZA to use GCash’s Funds Disbursement Service.

This system allows approved refunds to be credited directly to passengers’ digital wallets in real time, at no cost to either the agency or the traveller.

The initiative supports Executive Order No. 170, which mandates the adoption of digital payments in government, and the Tourism Act of 2009, which authorises TIEZA to modernise tax collection systems.

The new process eliminates the need for on-site claims and manual bank processing.

TIEZA Chief Operating Officer Mark Lapid stated that the partnership aims to enhance the efficiency of the travel experience.

GCash Vice President Cleo Celeste C. Santos highlighted that digitising traveller touchpoints through real-time refunds offers significant convenience and reliability, ultimately fostering a more responsive government service ecosystem.

GXI will provide the digital infrastructure for the disbursements, supported by prefunding and reconciliation mechanisms to ensure security.

Cryptos Signal Divergence Ahead of Fed Rate Decision

The post Cryptos Signal Divergence Ahead of Fed Rate Decision appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Crypto assets send conflicting signals ahead of the Federal Reserve’s September rate decision. On-chain data reveals a clear decrease in Bitcoin and Ethereum flowing into centralized exchanges, but a sharp increase in altcoin inflows. The findings come from a Tuesday report by CryptoQuant, an on-chain data platform. The firm’s data shows a stark divergence in coin volume, which has been observed in movements onto centralized exchanges over the past few weeks. Bitcoin and Ethereum Inflows Drop to Multi-Month Lows Sponsored Sponsored Bitcoin has seen a dramatic drop in exchange inflows, with the 7-day moving average plummeting to 25,000 BTC, its lowest level in over a year. The average deposit per transaction has fallen to 0.57 BTC as of September. This suggests that smaller retail investors, rather than large-scale whales, are responsible for the recent cash-outs. Ethereum is showing a similar trend, with its daily exchange inflows decreasing to a two-month low. CryptoQuant reported that the 7-day moving average for ETH deposits on exchanges is around 783,000 ETH, the lowest in two months. Other Altcoins See Renewed Selling Pressure In contrast, other altcoin deposit activity on exchanges has surged. The number of altcoin deposit transactions on centralized exchanges was quite steady in May and June of this year, maintaining a 7-day moving average of about 20,000 to 30,000. Recently, however, that figure has jumped to 55,000 transactions. Altcoins: Exchange Inflow Transaction Count. Source: CryptoQuant CryptoQuant projects that altcoins, given their increased inflow activity, could face relatively higher selling pressure compared to BTC and ETH. Meanwhile, the balance of stablecoins on exchanges—a key indicator of potential buying pressure—has increased significantly. The report notes that the exchange USDT balance, around $273 million in April, grew to $379 million by August 31, marking a new yearly high. CryptoQuant interprets this surge as a reflection of…
