What does Canada's stablecoin framework require from issuers?

Adequate reserves, par redemptions in fiat, data security, and strong governance — all to make tokens safer for payments.

Will stablecoins replace regular money in Canada?

Unlikely soon; they're for niche uses like cross-border transfers, but banks will integrate them slowly.

How does Canada's approach compare to the US and EU?

It's compatible but behind — US has GENIUS Act clarity, EU has MiCA licensing; Canada's still drafting details.
