“In the first half of 2023, CoinEx saw a spike in active users, with a notable increase in followers and engagement on a global scale.”

The same sentiment was emphasized by Coins.ph Country Manager Jen Bilango, who shared that they have onboarded more Game-Fi users by launching one of their initiatives this year—their in-app web3 game platform, Coins Arcade.

Moreover, according to Tetrix CEO Emman Navalan, the firm observed that their DeFi wallet users plateaued during the bear market, but recent improvements and the BlackRock ETF have led to a resurgence. 

Focusing on branding and promotion, Metasaga saw an increase in its DAU (daily active users) and MAU (monthly active users) through monitoring via PlayFa, according to QA Specialist John Balbin.

“We’ve seen a 17.68% increase of registered active Moneybees users from end December 2022 to end June 2023 as a result of our aggressive push to promote the Moneybees brand, create awareness of our products and services, and help our money service business (MSB) and remittance agent (RA) partners promote their outlets online,” Jay Villarante, CEO of Moneybees Forex Corporation, shared.

While those that have just been launched this year also attracted and onboarded more users. As the saying goes, “last but not the least.”

“We are very happy to share that Mintoo’s key metrics have substantially grown since our launch at the end of March of this year. The metrics that we monitor are mainly user count and trading activity,” Mintoo shared.

Anito Legends reported that it had over 1 million daily sessions by the end of Q2. It also has an average of 3 million sessions per week across four platforms: PC, Mac, iOS, and Android—players log in at least 12 times per day on average.

Expanded Social Media Presence

Following their recent collaboration with TikTok, web3 education platform Bitskwela reported that it has already reached four million views on the social media platform, and the Crypto Education Philippines Community by Bitskwela has reached 10,000 community members.

Bilango also revealed that Coins.ph has increased its social media followers on Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, and LinkedIn. According to her, the improvement can also be attributed to their recently established presence on Discord and Telegram.

A similar scenario was encountered by Villarante, who emphasized that Moneybees’ social media accounts had seen a significant increase in reach and engagement in the first half of the year.

While web3 communications firm Blockceler8 shared that for the first 6 months of the year, it successfully increased its strategic partnerships, successful PR campaigns, and client acquisition by 150%. The firm asserted that it reached over 3 billion people.

On the other hand, BayaniChain saw a significant increase in user engagement and B2B deals in the first half of 2023. According to Co-Founder Paul Soliman, these were secured through targeted outreach campaigns to businesses and government organizations.

During the event, CryptoArt PH was able to engage with local artists, participate in art talks, and host panel discussions on major trends and web3.

The Bicol-based metaverse-focused platform Ownly shared that for the first half of the year, it had an increase in partnership offers as well as an increase in invitations to speak at conferences, both local and international. It also shared that it had a network expansion outside the Philippines.
