According to people familiar with the matter, Crypto.com also plans to stay in Canada. Earlier this month, OKEx announced its withdrawal from Canada.

Blockchain.com and Deribit also said they would be pulling out of the Canadian market, and Kraken is expected to release a statement on the matter soon.

The entire crypto industry is under the grip of the regulatory framework after experiencing tens of billions of dollars in damage to cryptocurrencies like LUNA-UST and, most recently, FTT-FTX.
