#Canada UNVEILS DRAGNET STABLECOIN RULES:
60-DAY CONSULTATION LOCKS BAN ON YIELDS 📊🇨🇦
According to official government filings published in the Canada Gazette, the Department of Finance Canada, in coordination with the Bank of Canada, has formally opened a 60-day public consultation window on the draft regulations for the Stablecoin Act (SCA). The framework enforces a draconian prohibition on direct and indirect yield payments for non-bank stablecoins. 💼🚫
🔥
#liquidity & REGULATORY ARCHITECTURE:
▪️ Strict Yield Prohibition:
To combat banking disintermediation, non-bank stablecoin issuers are legally barred from offering interest or marketing rewards to token holders, strictly framing stablecoins as a payment instrument rather than a savings account. 🛡️🏦
▪️ 1:1 Banking Reserve Mandate:
Under the draft rules, non-bank issuers must back circulating units 1:1 with high-quality liquid reserves held strictly at qualified, regulated Canadian financial institutions. 💵🧱
▪️ Guaranteed Liquidations:
The proposal introduces a mandatory 3-business-day redemption window for retail holders at face value (at par), with cash-out redemption fees strictly capped at 1% and no minimum amount constraints. 🌊⚙️
▪️ Bank Exemption Loophole: Regulated banks and trust companies are exempt from this framework, allowing tokenized bank deposits to still generate interest and maintain CDIC insurance coverage. 🏛️📈
