The exchange said in a blog post it has already stopped onboarding new customers in the region.

In February this year, the Canadian Securities Administrators (CSA) strengthened oversight of crypto-related companies, saying “recent insolvencies” highlight the tremendous risks associated with trading crypto assets.

The CSA added all crypto businesses which operate in Canada are expected to go through an enhanced pre-registration process before April 2023. The pre-registration should include a detailed description of how clients’ funds are stored and segregated. The businesses also have to confirm they do not offer margin, credit, or other forms of leverage to any Canadian client.
