Licensing and regulation in Canada

TradeX AI carries out its activities in accordance with applicable Canadian law. We apply methods focused on operational transparency, data protection, information security and compliance with the regulatory requirements that apply to technology-based financial services.
This page names the regulators and frameworks that matter for a Canadian client, explains what each one does and is clear about what regulation cannot do for you.

Regulation for the Canadian market
TradeX AI operates within the Canadian legal framework that governs services related to digital assets and cryptocurrencies, including federal requirements and the rules set by individual provinces and territories.
| Jurisdiction | Regulator | Registration / regulatory basis |
|---|---|---|
| Canada, federal level | FINTRAC | Complies with Canadian anti-money-laundering and anti-terrorist-financing requirements, including client identification, record keeping and reporting obligations. Registration details are confirmed on request. |
| Ontario | OSC | Complies with Ontario securities legislation and the registration requirements that apply to crypto asset trading activity. |
| Quebec | AMF | Complies with Quebec securities legislation and the registration requirements that apply to crypto asset trading activity. |
| British Columbia | BCSC | Complies with British Columbia securities legislation and the registration requirements that apply to crypto asset trading activity. |
| Alberta | ASC | Complies with Alberta securities legislation and the registration requirements that apply to crypto asset trading activity. |
| Other provinces and territories | The relevant securities regulator | Complies with applicable securities and crypto asset trading requirements in each province or territory where services are offered. |
The rules differ from one province to another, and they change. If you want to know how a specific requirement applies to you, ask your account manager or write to [email protected]. We will tell you what we know and, where we do not know, we will say so.
Investor protection and dispute resolution
A second table covers the organizations a Canadian investor is most likely to hear about, and how we relate to each.
| Jurisdiction | Regulator | Registration / regulatory basis |
|---|---|---|
| Canada, national self-regulation | CIRO | Complies with the standards that CIRO sets for investment dealers and crypto asset trading platforms where they apply to the services we provide, and refers regulated activity to appropriately registered firms. |
| Canada, complaints | OBSI | Complies with the complaint-handling expectations of Canadian financial services and explains in the complaints procedure when and how a client may take a dispute to an independent body. |
| Canada, deposits | CDIC | Complies with the rules on describing deposit protection accurately. Cash deposits with a member institution may be eligible for coverage under CDIC rules. Crypto assets are not covered. |
| Canada, investments | CIPF | Complies with the rules on describing investor protection accurately. Eligible securities held by a member investment dealer may be covered by CIPF, subject to its limits. Crypto assets are generally not covered. |
What this means for crypto. Cash deposits with a member institution may be eligible for CDIC coverage, subject to its rules. Eligible securities held by a member investment dealer may be covered by CIPF, subject to its limits. Crypto and other digital assets are generally not covered by CDIC or CIPF. Before you deposit, assume that digital assets are not protected by a government-backed scheme.
AML and financial-crime controls
A real programme, not a badge.
TradeX AI maintains an AML/ATF programme that covers client identification, transaction monitoring, record keeping, mandatory reporting to the authorities and controls designed to prevent financial crime. Staff who handle onboarding and payments are trained on it, and procedures are reviewed when the rules change.
The programme is built to meet the requirements that apply to money services businesses in Canada. Registration numbers and status are confirmed directly on request instead of being displayed as decoration. You can read how identity checks work in practice on the AML / KYC page.
CIRO and crypto asset regulation
Our internal control framework takes into account the requirements that apply to regulated crypto asset trading platforms, including the relevant Investment Dealer rules, CIRO requirements and the rules of provincial and territorial regulators.
That includes how clients are onboarded, how risks are explained before an account is funded, how conflicts of interest are handled and how complaints are escalated. Where a service must be provided by a registered firm, we say so and do not blur the line.
Regulatory transparency
What regulation does not do
Regulation does not eliminate investment risk and does not guarantee profit. Digital assets are exposed to market volatility and other risks, which are set out in the risk disclosure.
