The world’s largest crypto exchange, Binance, continues its attempts to expand operations worldwide and boost its trading volume amid the market slump. Interestingly, major economies around the globe are still hesitant when it comes to licensing crypto companies following the multi-billion dollar collapse of crypto trading platform FTX. As per a new announcement, the exchange founded by Changpeng Zhao, also known as CZ in the crypto industry, will be withdrawing operations from Canada due to the country’s new crypto rules.
O Canadá implementou recentemente novas regras em relação aos criptoativos e, como resultado, muitas empresas de cripto estão encerrando as operações no país devido a condições regulatórias inadequadas. Binance anunciado on May 12 that it will be leaving Canada via its official Twitter account and called its withdrawal “proactive” as the new rules haunt crypto firms in the world’s second-largest country by total area.
On Feb. 22, the Canadian Securities Administrators (CSA) issued new rules for crypto firms that seek registration in the country. The new rules require these companies and crypto exchanges to sign pre-registration undertakings (PRUs), which will be legally binding documents. Only after signing PRUs can exchanges be authorized in the country, and thereafter, they will report to their principal regulatory body, which will oversee the company’s compliance process.
o CSA explicado that crypto trading platforms or CTPs “are prohibited from permitting Canadian clients to enter into crypto contracts to buy and sell any crypto asset that is itself a security and/or a derivative. […] Staff are of the view that Fiat-Backed Crypto Assets generally meet the definition of ‘security’ and/or would meet the definition of ‘derivative’ in several jurisdictions.”
Por outro lado, a Binance apresentou um pré-registro empresa, de acordo com um relatório da Bloomberg, mas, no post do Twitter, explicou:
“Unfortunately, new guidance related to stablecoins and investor limits provided to crypto exchanges makes the Canada market no longer tenable for Binance at this time. We put off this decision as long as we could to explore other reasonable avenues to protect our Canadian users, but it has become apparent that there are none.”
Em fevereiro, o CSA deu um período de 30 dias para as empresas existentes que operam no Canadá assinarem os PRUs e se registrarem com seus respectivos reguladores. As novas regras também definiram as stablecoins como valores mobiliários.
The customers of the leading crypto exchange that are based in Canada were sent emails regarding the future steps that they need to follow. Binance further added that it is “confident” that it will “someday return to the market when Canadian users once again have the freedom to access a broader suite of digital assets.”
É importante mencionar aqui que, recentemente, a popular bolsa descentralizada dYdX também anunciou que encerrará suas operações no Canadá devido a questões regulatórias. Além disso, a plataforma de infraestrutura blockchain Paxos também confirmou sua retirada from the region and planned to “re-enter the Canadian market in cooperation with the Ontario Securities Commission (OSC) at a future date.”
Pelo contrário, a proeminente exchange de criptomoedas Gemini, que recentemente estabeleceu um hub regional em Gurgaon, na Índia, anunciou que havia apresentou um compromisso de pré-registo com a Comissão de Valores Mobiliários de Ontário e tem planos de se licenciar na região.
