MANILA -- The Philippines securities regulator said Wednesday it was moving to block access to embattled cryptocurrency giant Binance, just a week after its top executive stepped down and pleaded guilty in a U.S. money-laundering case.

The ban is the latest blow for the world's biggest crypto exchange, which hopes to expand in Southeast Asia amid its U.S legal woes and a ban on doing business in China.
