Canada publishes proposed Stablecoin Regulations for public comment
Canada's proposed Stablecoin Regulations were published in the Canada Gazette, Part I, on 24 October 2026, with a 60-day comment period. The Regulations are a draft and are not in force.

Once in force, the Act would require issuers to register with the Bank of Canada, hold reserves backed on at least a one-to-one basis and offer one-to-one redemption. The proposed Regulations would add a requirement to redeem within three business days of a request and cap redemption fees at 1% of the amount redeemed. The stated intention is for them to come into force in fall 2027. Updated 28 October 2026 with further details from the notice.
