Odaily News Canada's securities regulator has extended the compliance deadline for crypto trading platforms, pushing it back to the end of 2024. This comes amid concerns about the risks of stablecoins pegged to fiat currencies, with the Canadian Securities Administrators (CSA) prioritizing investor protection. The new deadline was originally set for October, giving exchanges more time to meet regulatory requirements or come up with safer alternatives. If the platforms fail to comply by the end of the year, they could face penalties, including being banned from offering certain products to Canadian users. In the past few years, exchanges such as Binance, KuCoin and Poloniex have been forced to withdraw from Canada, while exchanges such as Kraken, Coinbase and Bitget continue to operate. (DL News)
