New Post: Canadian securities regulators propose crypto rules for investment funds - “We recognize the current regulatory framework for public investment funds needs to be adapted to address the unique aspects and risks of crypto assets,” said Stan Magidson, CSA Chair and Chair and CEO of the Alberta Securities Commission. “Formalizing these fundamental requirements will provide fund managers with greater clarity while we continue to assess whether a more comprehensive regime is required.” Among the proposals there would be restrictions on investing in crypto assets with only alternative mutual funds and non-redeemable investment funds allowed to invest directly or indirectly in crypto assets, and only in crypto assets that are fungible and trade on a recognized exchange or are the underlying interest of a specified derivative that trades on a recognized exchange. Custodians and sub-custodians of crypto assets would be required to keep the private keys in offline storage, maintain insurance, and obtain an annual assurance report on their internal controls and policies. Also, mutual funds would be able to accept crypto assets as payment for their securities, subject to certain conditions, such as the crypto assets being acceptable to the fund’s portfolio advisor and consistent with the fund’s investment objectives.
