[Update] Editor’s Note: May 28, 2022. We reached out to Finder, which conducted this survey, to learn more information, such as the methodology behind the survey.
“Upon checking with our publishers, they have advised that the survey was of 2,471 Internet users in the Philippines.“
Finder staff said they will keep us updated regarding our request to obtain the raw data of the survey.
Out of 26 countries surveyed by global fintech platform Finder, the Philippines ranked 4th with the highest non-fungible token (NFT) adoption globally. Also, the study revealed that 25% or one out of every four Filipinos played play-to-earn (P2E) NFT games, like Axie Infinity.

Finder noted that the country’s current number and rank is “expected to increase 1.6 times by the end of 2022, with the percentage of people in the Philippines expected to hit 39%.”
By gender, the study figured that men are more likely to play NFT games than women. In fact, 28% of Filipino men surveyed said they have played a play-to-earn game before, these numbers are roughly 1.3 times more than the 22% of women who answered the same.

“That gender gap is expected to remain the same by the end of the year, with 44% of men saying they plan on playing this year, compared to 34% of women, meaning men will remain 1.3 times more likely to have played NFT games by the end of 2022.”
