On December 12, 2022, in the aftermath of recent developments in the crypto market and in the wake of the FTX exchange collapse, the Canadian Securities Administrators (CSA) announced a number of changes to strengthen its approach to oversight for crypto trading platforms operating in Canada (“CTPs“).

On August 15, 2022, the CSA announced that all CTPs operating in Canada while taking steps to seek registration are required to sign undertakings which included terms and conditions consistent with requirements currently applicable to registered platforms. The CSA's December 12, 2022 update is designed to further enhance its previous commitment made on August 15, 2022 relating to the regulation of CTPs.

Trade War Shatters Traditional Approaches To Procurement: The New Buy Canadian Policy

The procurement rules in Canada are not what they used to be.
