New Canadian Regulatory Framework. "Excellent, thank you, Canada," said IOHK CEO, founder of Cardano [ADA] when he saw the news that the Canadian government had announced that all cryptocurrency companies would be regulated. In accordance with the new course of the Canadian government. Under the new bill, all businesses that deal with digital currency trading will now be regulated as a company with cash (MSB).
The regulatory framework has been the subject of discussion on the cryptocurrency market for a very long time all over the world. Under the new law, Canada's financial ecosystem will be protected from activities to combat money laundering and counter terrorism. At this point in time, Canada is the first country in the world that has officially stated how exactly the enterprises connected with the cryptocurrency will be regulated.
In the official text of the document from the Government of Canada stated:
“The proposed amendments to the regulations would strengthen Canada’s AML/ATF Regime by updating customer due diligence requirements and beneficial ownership reporting requirements; regulating businesses dealing in virtual currency; updating the schedules to the regulations; including foreign money service businesses (MSB) in Canada’s AML/ATF Regime; clarifying a number of existing requirements; and making minor technical amendments.”
New payment methods on the Internet allowed foreign companies to offer MSB services in Canada without a state license. This is a general rule, implying all enterprises related to cryptocurrencies, but Cardano paid particular attention to market speculators.
It should be noted that for the time being this is just a bill that has not yet been adopted. To be honest, it is not very clear how the government will be able to fully implement it. We'll see for sure, but regulators frighten us not for the first year, but the blockchain would not be a blockade if it could just be taken and banned or even controlled@BPI
