Federal oversight
Applicable AML and anti-terrorist financing requirements, including customer verification and reporting.
08 Regulatory information
One market.
Multiple layers of oversight.
An overview of the federal, provincial and territorial requirements that can apply to digital-asset services in Canada.
01 Canadian oversight
Requirements follow the service.
The framework applicable to a Belvoraine service depends on what the product does, the assets involved and where the participant lives. A single registration should never be treated as covering every activity.
Securities rules
Provincial or territorial registration and conduct requirements where a service involves regulated activity.
Business conduct
Clear product information, risk disclosure, record keeping and appropriate client communications.
Ongoing monitoring
Policies and controls that are maintained as products, jurisdictions and regulatory expectations change.
02 Financial crime compliance
Controls beyond account opening.
Where applicable, the compliance program covers more than an initial identity check.
- Customer identification and identity verification
- Sanctions and politically exposed person screening
- Transaction monitoring and risk assessment
- Record keeping and regulatory reporting
- Investigation and escalation of unusual activity
- Periodic control review and staff training
03 Client protection
Regulation is not a guarantee.
Oversight and registration requirements support responsible operation, but they do not eliminate market volatility, technology failures, fraud or the possibility of loss.
Always separate status from safety.
A regulated or registered service is not risk-free, and no regulatory relationship promises an investment outcome.
04 Current status
Verify before relying.
Registration, approval and product availability may change. Confirm the status of the specific Belvoraine entity, service and jurisdiction using current documentation and the relevant regulator’s public register.
