Users will be able to deposit and withdraw the impacted stablecoins following the trading suspension, the note added.
The action comes after Coinbase expanded its services in the country with an official launch this week, integrating local banking rails and working with regulators. The exchange earlier praised Canadian authorities’ approach to regulate crypto with clear rules and engaging with digital asset firms.
Canada rolled out tighter regulations to govern crypto exchanges this year, putting pressure on some exchanges and stablecoins operating in the country. For example, rival exchange Binance left the market in May, while Crypto.com delisted USDT from its platform this January in anticipation of the stricter rules.
