#voicesforcrypto Canada needs to wake up when it comes to building a national digital asset strategy, market structure bills, and a CAD backed stablecoin the government needs to stop distracting the public with issues that don't matter and start focusing on the core pieces of the future or Canada will get left behind in the next wave of innovation.
