Widespread predictions that decentralized finance is the basis for the next generation of the Canadian economy are creating a boom in a growing universe of innovative digital assets. For this new economy to succeed, regulators and industry need to collaborate on solutions to some of the top challenges to ensuring legal clarity and safe market adoption of DeFi products and services.

With the rising investment profile of crypto and digital assets and accelerating adoption across the world, few topics are as important to reimagining Canada’s economic future. Our growing DeFi ecosystems are beginning to integrate with conventional finance, and require standardization, government support and new levels of security to fully mature and stay competitive with other global innovation hubs.

Uniting a thinktank of industry experts across legal, technical and financial spheres, the FinTech Committee’s October (date) virtual roundtable will shed light on important questions impacting this emerging market and help provide essential guidance to Canadian regulators on building pathways to a strong, prosperous and safe DeFi economy.
