Canada proposes direct stablecoin cash-outs for small holders with 1% fee cap
Current overview (not historical)
Canada published a proposal on Oct. 24 to allow covered retail holders to redeem stablecoins directly from issuers, subject to a 1% fee cap and a standard processing time of three business days. The framework provides an exit route outside of exchanges but does not specify when recipient banks must make proceeds available. Section 15(2) permits daily limits for issuers facing liquidity shortages in reserve asset markets.

Report first recorded Oct 26, 12:45
Canada's proposed stablecoin regulations would allow covered retail holders to redeem tokens directly from issuers without a minimum redemption amount, adding an exit route alongside exchange sales. The October 24 proposal caps redemption fees at 1% and requires completion within three business days, though issuers may limit daily redemptions during liquidity shortfalls. Direct redemption availability depends on the holder's location, the issuing entity, and applicable exemptions. For USDC holders, par redemption means U.S. dollars; a Canadian holder seeking Canadian dollars would still need currency conversion arrangements. Circle's USDC terms currently restrict direct redemption to institutional accounts, excluding individual holders.
