In particular, the move comes as part of Coinbase’s global expansion strategy to reshape the financial landscape and provide economic empowerment through digital assets. Coinbase’s Canadian journey was propelled by the appointment of Lucas Matheson as the Country Director for Canada in March 2023. 

In detail, this appointment was underpinned by an Enhanced Pre-Registration Undertaking, solidifying Coinbase’s commitment to regulatory compliance and operational excellence in the Canadian market.

Canada’s position as the world’s third-most crypto-aware nation, combined with its thriving local tech ecosystem, made it a strategic choice for Coinbase’s expansion. The country’s progress in establishing a robust regulatory framework further enhanced its attractiveness. 

The Ontario Securities Commission’s survey revealed that over 30% of Canadians are set to explore crypto assets within the year. Coinbase introduced several groundbreaking features tailored for the Canadian market. 

Notably, the integration of Interac payment rails enables seamless fund transfers for Canadian users. They can easily deposit and withdraw Canadian dollars (CAD) to and from their Coinbase wallets through Interac e-transfers.

In addition, Coinbase One was introduced, offering a complimentary 30-day trial with benefits such as zero trading fees, enhanced staking rewards, and priority customer support. In the pipeline, Coinbase plans to facilitate direct bank transfers over EFT for seamless deposits, withdrawals, and higher daily transaction limits.

Recognizing the significance of regulatory harmony, Coinbase has collaborated closely with Canadian regulators to establish a policy framework that could set global standards. Coinbase has underlined its commitment to Canada by establishing a robust local tech hub with nearly 200 full-time employees. 

This makes Canada Coinbase’s largest tech hub outside of the United States, showcasing its dedication to Canada’s growing crypto community. Through Coinbase Ventures, the platform has also invested in Canadian startups that contribute to technological advancement across diverse sectors, including risk assessment and asset management.
