As Canada held an election, the newly elected government is not prioritizing digital assets, but there is an opportunity to integrate crypto into broader financial modernization. The focus is shifting towards economic resilience, especially in light of U.S. policies under President Trump that support crypto infrastructure while imposing tariffs on Canadian goods. Within this context, Canada’s digital asset sector must adapt its messaging. Key trends include potential regulations for stablecoins to enhance payment speed and security, and reforms in custody that facilitate access to compliant digital asset solutions. While financial innovation is expected to progress cautiously, the urgency for Canada to modernize its financial system grows amidst global developments, like the EU's MiCA framework and advancements in the U.K. and U.S. For the crypto industry to gain traction, it must position itself as essential infrastructure tied to national priorities such as improving payment systems and ensuring economic competitiveness. For advisors and investors, understanding how crypto fits into the traditional financial landscape will be crucial as clear regulatory frameworks evolve.
