The Canadian government has released an official draft of new regulations on crypto exchanges aimed at strengthening Canada’s anti-money laundering regime.
Under the proposed rules crypto exchanges and payment processors will be treated as money service businesses (MSB), which requires them to report large transactions — over 10,000 Canadian dollars (7700 USD). There is also a new Know Your Customer (KYC) threshold set for transactions over 1000 Canadian dollars.
