    In Canada, the use of digital currencies is regulated by the Financial Transactions and Reports Analysis Centre of Canada (FINTRAC). They require digital currency exchanges and other businesses dealing with virtual currencies to register as money services businesses (MSBs) and comply with anti-money laundering (AML) and know-your-customer (KYC) regulations. This helps to prevent illicit activities such as money laundering and terrorist financing.

    Canada has taken a proactive approach to regulating digital currencies. The Canadian government recognizes the potential benefits and risks associated with digital currencies and aims to strike a balance between innovation and consumer protection. By implementing regulations, they aim to ensure the integrity of the financial system while fostering innovation in the digital currency space.
