A Canadian dollar stablecoin is only useful if Canadians can get access to it. Everything we have been building since 2021 has been about that. This week the Ontario Securities Commission issued a receipt for the final prospectus of CADC Reserve Trust. Nearly every digital dollar in circulation is American. Canadians moving money onchain have been doing it in someone else's currency, on someone else's terms. We started CADC so that would be optional. This offering is only made by prospectus. The Prospectus is accessible through SEDAR+ under the profile of the Issuer. Investors should read the Prospectus before making an investment decision. blog.loon.finance/cadc-is-no…

The Canadian dollar has never had much of a presence onchain. Nearly every digital dollar in circulation is American, which means Canadians moving money digitally have been doing it in someone else's currency, on someone else's terms. @CADCstablecoin is the answer to that, and as of this week it comes with a prospectus. 🔴 The Ontario Securities Commission has issued a receipt for the final prospectus of CADC Reserve Trust, dated October 22, 2026. The Prospectus qualifies the distribution of CADC Tokens in each of the provinces and territories of Canada. This offering is only made by prospectus. The Prospectus is accessible through SEDAR+ under the profile of the Issuer, CADC Reserve Trust. Investors should read the Prospectus before making an investment decision.

Today we're spotlighting @Paytrie as a Stand with Crypto Canada partner. 🇨🇦 @Paytrie is building simple, transparent access to digital dollars, making stablecoins such as USDC and CADC easier for Canadians to buy, sell and use. 🇨🇦 Their platform is non-custodial, meaning customers can exchange Canadian dollars for stablecoins that go directly to their own wallets. 🇨🇦 They have also developed and support stablecoin-based payment infrastructure, including OTC services and cross-border payment solutions. We’re proud to have @Paytrie as an official partner of Stand with Crypto Canada. Become an advocate: standwithcrypto.org/ca

I don’t think people realize what @nubank announced today Nu Global is a Swiss company offering an account on USDC and EURC to users around the world Onchain balance. Onchain FX. Local ramps into USDC for currencies they don’t support yet. One account, one backend, instead of a license in every country That’s the right way to make NU global Looking forward to the next currency: CADC, JPYC, LatAm stables 👀 The user stops being gated by currency! A step closer to pure currency competition! A step toward global financial freedom!

Non-USD stablecoins are becoming a bigger part of the onchain economy, and @CADCstablecoin is helping push that forward. @LayerZero_Core's latest report highlights the growing importance of non-USD stablecoins and features CADC as a case study for P2P payments and remittances. \\ Loon is proud to be part of a broader movement building a more global, multi-currency onchain financial system.
For most of stablecoins’ short history, the key question was whether on-chain dollars could work at all. 
That question has been answered, decisively, and at a scale few would have predicted. A different question
has now taken its place, one that matters for billions of people and businesses around the world: What does adoption look like for everyone who doesn't transact in dollars? Our latest research, The Case for Non-USD Stablecoins, explores this question.

This week, a petition I worked on with @StandWCrypto_CA was presented in the House of Commons. Petition e-6978 calls for a clear, workable #stablecoin regulatory framework in Canada. 8,627 Canadians signed the petition 130,000+ advocates stood behind it through Stand with Crypto Canada MP Nathaniel Erskine-Smith presented it on the floor of the House What mattered most were the people who cared enough to sign, and the team at Stand with Crypto Canada who organized them into a number Ottawa couldn't ignore: thousands of Canadians telling Parliament that this technology deserves a serious framework, and the government putting that on the official record. Canada's Stablecoin Act has passed. The real work now is the regulations that bring it into force, making sure they enable builders, protect consumers, and keep Canada competitive with the US, the EU, and everywhere else.
Thank you advocates. 🇨🇦 Earlier this week, MP @NateForOntario read our stablecoin petition e-6978 in Parliament. Initiated by @kevinzhangTO, Founder of @LoonFinance, and supported by Stand With Crypto Canada, the petition brought nearly 9,000 advocate voices to Parliament calling for clear and responsible stablecoin rules. The journey to get here started long before the petition was read - from live stablecoin demos for MPs and staff in Ottawa, to months of education, advocacy, and community action. 🇨🇦Together, 130,000 Stand with Crypto advocates helped stablecoins become part of national policy. To everyone who signed and shared: thank you.
