I've been forced to pull my money off the most reputable and safe CEX out there.
It's clear, regulators don't serve the people.

On June 21, TrustSwap’s CEO tweeted, “Canadian regulators are a joke.” He has been forced to pull his money from the most reputable and safe CEX out there. Moreover, the regulators are not serving the people.
Canada Tightens Its Regulation
Canadian regulators have been continuously tightening the regulations for the crypto trading platform in recent months with the introduction of the pre-registration process. According to the Ontario Securities Commission website, companies that do not adhere to the rules may face regularity actions.
The country has announced a series of regulations for cryptocurrency exchanges, including investor limits and requirements for registration. In this pre-registration process, exchanges and other companies will have to follow the custody rules, which discuss the separation of crypto assets held for local clients, a ban on margin or other forms of leverage, and a ban on selling stablecoins without the CSA’s permission.
According to the report, Unregistered cryptocurrency trading platforms now have 30 days to provide a new pre-registration undertaking. Companies that are unable or unwilling to comply are expected to be banned in Canada and remove Canadian users.
Binance Departs from Canada
After the new regulations, the world’s largest crypto exchange, Binance, announced that it was withdrawing from Canada. Binance stated that It disagrees with the latest guidelines and aspires to collaborate with Canadian regulators to develop a thorough framework for crypto activities in the country.
Binance mentioned that the Canadian market is no longer available for Binance due to the recent guidelines offered to crypto exchanges about stablecoins and investor limitations.
Changpeng Zhao, the CEO of Binance, has stated that the exchange still believes that it will return to the Canadian market when Canadian customers once again access a wider range of digital assets without restriction.

Jeff Kirdeikis also added that Bitcoin reached the landmark of $30,000 and will surge more. Cryptocurrency is the future of money. The corrupt regulator and politicians can try to stop the future of money, but they can’t do that. Bitcoin brings the power back to the people, he mentioned in his tweet.

Moreover, a lot of crypto enthusiasts continue to show their support for Jeff Kirdeikis’s disagreement against Canadian Regulations.
