Brane Welcomes Regulatory Action on Unregistered Crypto Trading Platforms, Focus on Regulated Custody
Calgary, Alberta–(Newsfile Corp. – December 15, 2022) – Brane Inc. (“Brane”), a Canadian fintech company recognized as one of Canada’s leading digital asset technology companies, welcomes the Canadian Securities Administrators’ (CSA) December 12th announcement that CSA’s member regulators will consider enforcement action to bring certain crypto trading platforms into compliance with Canadian securities law.
“In the wake of the FTX collapse, protecting Canadian investors from high-risk crypto platforms has never been more urgent,” said Matt Pierce, interim President of Brane Trust. “With this announcement, regulators have placed a spotlight on the importance of regulated digital asset custody to keep investor assets safe — and that’s exactly the challenge that Brane is built to solve.”
Brane Trust, a wholly owned subsidiary of Brane Inc., is a trust company regulated by the Government of Alberta for the purpose of digital asset custody. Incorporated in September 2021, Brane Trust is progressing toward registration by Alberta’s Ministry of Treasury Board and Finance and status as a qualified custodian under Canadian securities law, which will enable the company to provide industry-leading, regulated custody for crypto asset trading platforms and exchange-traded funds (ETFs) as required by the CSA.
The CSA’s recent announcement pertains to crypto trading platforms (commonly referred to as “exchanges”) that are accessible by Canadians, even if their operations are located outside of Canada. While a growing number of crypto exchanges have engaged with securities regulators to bring their operations into compliance, Canadian investors remain at risk from un- or under-regulated exchanges with questionable asset management and custodial practices.
“Thanks to the work of our securities and financial institution regulators, Canada is a global leader in balancing investor protection with blockchain innovation,” said Pierce. “We look forward to continued collaboration with regulators and industry partners to bring trust, confidence, and stability to Canada’s digital asset sector.”
