Kraken Ready to Deliver More of Canada’s Strict Requirements
US-based cryptocurrency exchange Kraken will continue to operate in Canada and adhere to stricter rules set by the Canadian Securities Administrators (CSA), the country’s financial regulator.
The cryptocurrency exchange said in a press release that it has made a pre-registration commitment with the Ontario Securities Commission as Kraken works towards becoming a registered Limited Dealer across Canada.
Canada has tightened its rules governing crypto exchanges. Additionally, it has set a deadline for committing a number of advanced pre-registration commitments (PRUs).
Kraken has been serving Canadian customers for over 10 years. The exchange has been registered as a Canadian money services business with the Canadian Financial Transactions and Reports Analysis Center (FINTRAC) since 2019.
David Ripley, Kraken’s COO and future CEO, said in a statement:
“Canada as a geography is critical to our mission to empower people with new ways of connecting and transacting.”
