What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

The Carney government is moving away from a previous promise to criminalize the operation of crypto ATMs, opting instead for a regulatory framework. Proposed legislation, the Combatting Financial Crimes and Drug Trafficking Act, will require all crypto ATM transactions to be reported to FINTRAC. The bill includes provisions for new financial and criminal penalties and a daily withdrawal limit of $1,000.
