Deloitte will integrate a Canadian dollar stablecoin into institutional payment systems as Ottawa advances new rules governing fiat-backed digital assets.

Coinbase has partnered with Canadian stablecoin issuer Stablecorp in a bid to expand access to tokenized Canadian dollars, a company executive told Cointelegraph during the Blockchain Futurist Conference in Toronto. According to Coinbase Canada's CEO, Lucas Matheson, the exchange is investing an undisclosed amount in Stablecorp and will help market its fiat-collateralized stablecoin, QCAD. “It’s really important that we have a stablecoin for Canadians,” Matheson told Cointelegraph in an exclusive interview on May 13, adding that stablecoins are especially urgent because the country has “no peer-to-peer [payment] rail” and “wire transfers cost $45 and take 45 minutes of paperwork.” “With stablecoins, 24/7, instant, borderless payments become possible — this is already feasible with existing tech,” he said. Lucas Matheson (left) and Sam Bourgi (right) on the sidelines of the Futurist Conference in Toronto.

Stablecorp’s most recent report on QCAD’s fiat reserve backing dates to July 2024, at which time only around $175,000 worth of QCAD were in circulation, according to its website.Stablecorp’s flagship product is QCAD, a fiat-backed stablecoin. Source: Stablecorp However, “Canada lacks a clear path for stablecoin adoption” in part because its government has yet to “remove securities regulation barriers for fiat-backed stablecoins,” Coinbase said in a March 26 blog post. It needs to begin “treating them as payment instruments rather than securities,” the exchange added. In April, the US SEC said that stablecoins do not qualify as securities in the country if they are marketed solely as a means of making payments. "We’re asking the federal government to develop a national strategy for digital assets. Crypto is strategic, and we hope this new administration sees that,” Matheson said.  Canada elected Prime Minister Mark Carney during its federal elections in April. Carney has historically been critical of cryptocurrency.  Magazine: Ethereum is destroying the competition in the $16.1T TradFi tokenization race
