BSP Allows Banks to Exceed Lending Limits for Green Projects

The Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) has extended regulatory incentives designed to encourage local banks to increase lending for sustainable projects.

The Monetary Board approved the extension, which allows banks to exceed the single borrower’s limit (SBL) by an additional 15% for eligible green financing.

Originally introduced in 2023, these incentives will now remain available for another two years, starting from 6 January 2026.

The policy enables banks to lend more than the standard 25% SBL cap if they direct the funds towards sustainable activities.

The central bank stated that it expects the extended period to facilitate continued financing for key sectors.

These include renewable energy, water and wastewater systems, clean transportation, and climate-resilient infrastructure.

In addition to the extension, the BSP is reviewing other measures to support climate finance. The regulator indicated it is looking into the recalibration of the risk weights for climate resilience-focused financing.

Furthermore, the BSP plans to conduct a review of market conditions.

This assessment aims to identify any refinements needed to further scale adaptation financing and support the Philippines’ long-term climate and development goals.

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…
