Lucas Matheson, the Canadian Director at Coinbase, spoke at a blockchain futurist conference, stating that while Canada’s regulatory system is robust, it still needs modernization in cryptocurrency regulation. He pointed out that over 85% of countries worldwide expect to adopt comprehensive regulatory frameworks for digital assets in the next year, highlighting global trends in this field. Matheson emphasized that through public discourse and education of government officials, one can better understand the importance of cryptocurrencies for economies and financial systems. In summing up the long-term goals of its “Stand With Crypto” initiative, Matheson, the head of Coinbase in Canada, aims to reform Canadian laws to promote economic freedom and update the financial system. During his speech, Matheson encouraged attendees to get involved and support this cause, pushing for the modernization of cryptocurrency regulations.
