Canada launches 60-day consultation on draft stablecoin rules
Current overview (not historical)
Canada's Department of Finance launched a 60-day public consultation on October 26, 2026, proposing draft rules that prohibit stablecoin issuers from paying interest but allow transaction-based rewards. Non-bank issuers must hold reserves equivalent to their stablecoin supply in qualified Canadian financial institutions and support redemption within three days, with redemption fees capped at 1%. The rules are expected to take effect by the end of 2027. A Cointelegraph report on October 27, 2026, notes the consultation also references the U.S. GENIUS Act and specifies that redemption must occur within three business days, with fees capped at 1%, and that issuers must register with the Bank of Canada before launch. A Decrypt report on October 27, 2026, confirms issuers must hold one-to-one reserves with Canadian custodians, redemption is limited to three business days with a 1% fee cap, and interest payments are prohibited, with penalties up to C$10 million for serious violations under Bank of Canada supervision.
