According to a survey Coinbase conducted with Angus Reid, 86% of Canadians agree the Canadian financial system could use an update. The majority feel that the system is not fair for everyone (80%), is out of touch (76%) and is designed to benefit corporations (83%) and the wealthy (73%). 72% think that the regulation of cryptocurrency exchanges is important. Nearly a third of Canadians (29%) said they would be more inclined to buy cryptocurrency if there was more regulation in the industry. The appetite for this movement in Canada is clear.
Policymakers have expressed a desire to deepen their understanding of the opportunities presented by emerging technologies like blockchain, and industry needs to do a better job of explaining the social and economic value that can be unlocked through applications of cryptocurrency, blockchain and decentralised innovation
Calgary Launch Event: A Major Milestone
SwC reached a significant milestone with a launch event today on Friday, 12th July in Calgary on the sidelines of the Calgary Stampede. The event heard remarks from the Honourable Dale Nally, Minister of Service Alberta and Red Tape Reduction; Lucas Matheson, CEO, Coinbase Canada; Tom Duff Gordon, Vice President of International Policy at Coinbase; Alexis Pappas, Chief Innovation Officer, GuildOne Inc.; and Samantha Robertson, Director of Global Energy Strategy, at Bitdeer. The event brought together some 100 blockchain entrepreneurs, industry leaders, investors, leading academics and media.
The launch event is the culmination of a week-long trade mission in Alberta organised by the Canadian Blockchain Consortium. Delegates met with Danielle Smith, the Premier of Alberta; Honourable Nathan Neudorf, Minister of Affordability and Utilities, Government of Alberta; Alexis Pappas, Chief Innovation Officer, GuildOne Inc. and Samantha Robertson, Director of Global Energy Strategy at Bitdeer. The agenda was designed to foster collaboration between Government and industry, to ensure that collaborative governance of the digital asset ecosystem results in common-sense regulation.
The Calgary launch event marks a pivotal moment in the campaign’s expansion. As SwC continues to grow, its impact on Canada’s blockchain landscape is set to be profound, fostering a grassroots movement that champions blockchain innovation and economic growth.
