This invitation-only virtual roundtable examines how Canada’s Retail Payment Activities Act is reshaping the operating environment for digital asset firms and payment service providers.

Discussion will cover PSP registration and ongoing Bank of Canada supervision, safeguarding of end-user funds, operational resilience and incident reporting, and the practical barriers digital asset companies face in accessing payment rails, settlement, and banking partners. Participants will also address how RPA interacts with stablecoins, on-chain settlement, and emerging payment products, and what additional clarity is needed so regulated digital asset businesses can participate in Canada’s payments system without being pushed to the margins of the financial infrastructure.
