Due to concerns over stablecoin risks, Canada has extended its crypto compliance deadline to the end of 2024. Exchanges have to comply with new regulations on pain of penalties.
The extension buys platforms more time, either to propose a safer alternative or simply to comply with the regulations. Major Exchanges like Binance and KuCoin have exited while others like Kraken remain.

The CSA moved to extend the crypto compliance deadline to emphasize investor protection. It has been a very tricky area: regulating stablecoins pegged to the traditional currencies.
