Canadian Web3 regulations & Coinbase’s year in review

Blockchain Futurist Conference 2024
Crypto.com, Coinbase, CIRO and more discuss Canada playing catch-up at the Blockchain Futurist Conference.

I’m currently on vacation in an undisclosed location, and my co-host Rob Kenedi hasn’t been heard from since our AMA episode where he tried to explain a hiring graph… with another hiring graph.

“I think it’s really important for Canadians to speak to their public officials and remind them that this is an important industry. They should be taking it seriously. They should be putting in the time to speak with industry and learn about it.”

Thankfully, some members of the BetaKit team have been working hard this week. Like award-winning reporter Josh Scott, who moderated two different conversations at the Blockchain Futurist Conference,

Which was part of CanadaCryptoWeek.

First, Josh sat down with Coinbase Canada CEO Lucas Matheson to reflect on how Coinbase and the crypto industry have evolved in the Canadian market. Following that, Josh moderated a panel conversation on the state of Web3 Regulations in Canada with Dan Nuñez Cohen (Crypto.com), Kunal Bhasin (KPMG), Morva Rohani (Canadian Web3 Council), and Suzanne Lasrado (CIRO).

Enjoy Josh’s labours while I enjoy a refreshing pina colada and Rob—well, I just hope he returns from that three-hour tour.
