MUST KNOW Crypto Laws in CANADA for Bitcoin Investors (Your Taxes, Identity and Transaction Records)

If you've begun investing in cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and Ethereum in 2020 or 2021, you need to make sure you know your rights and obligations pertaining to these transactions under Canadian law. In this video I take you through the different rules in place for regulating crypto in Canada, including taxation, anti-money laundering record keeping and identification, asset division in divorce, inheritance and wills, and crypto regulation as securities by securities commissions in Canada.

As blockchain is a new and emerging technology, the law continues to evolve in this area and you should stay informed about what you must do to comply (for example whether your profits from crypto sales count as capital gains or business income), as well as knowing what information others (like cryptocurrency exchanges or dealers) must provide you. You also want to know what information is being kept and recorded about your identity and transactions by Money Services Businesses (MSBs) under Canadian law.
