The Canadian
Securities Administrators (CSA), an umbrella regulatory organization that
serves Canadian markets, securities issuers, and investors, has reiterated its confidence
in the regulated futures market for crypto, which according to it promotes
greater price discovery.
The Canadian
market hosts a number of #crypto #exchange-traded funds (#ETFs), besides the
United States.
Yesterday,
the #CSA issued guidance to help fund managers comply with statutory
requirements for investment funds holding crypto assets.
A 15-page
document defends the very existence of crypto ETFs in Canada, emphasizing that
ETFs possess the necessary tools to protect the price undulation of particular
crypto #assets.
The CSA lays
restrictions on the proportion of illiquid assets and also reminds investment
managers that they’re prohibited from lending assets that are not securities.
The document
also designs the minimum expectations for the crypto assets custody which
include primary storage in cold #wallets, segregation of assets, visible on the
#blockchain, #insurance for corporate crime, and providing the reports to
funds’ auditors.
It makes it
clear that funds managers must comply with the illiquidity restrictions during
staking.
