Exchanges gear up crypto advocacy in Canada as elections loom
Cointelegraph’s Sam Bourgi discussed Canada’s evolving regulatory landscape with Kraken and Coinbase at the Blockchain Futurist Conference, highlighting areas where the country still lags.
Canada has been actively developing and refining its regulatory framework for digital assets over the previous years, positioning itself ahead of leading markets worldwide, such as the United States. However, crypto exchanges are still lobbying for more cooperation with leaders as the 2025 elections approach in the country.
Cointelegraph’s senior editor, Sam Bourgi, discussed with Kraken and Coinbase during the Blockchain Futurist Conference how the local regulatory space is evolving and where the country is still lagging behind.
“The reality is that members of parliament today in Canada are not hearing from their constituents about the importance of digital assets and cryptocurrencies,” explained Coinbase’s CEO for Canada, Lucas Matheson.
