Coinbase demands recipient information for crypto transfers from users in Canada, Singapore and Japan
Coinbase customers in Canada, Japan and Singapore who send cryptocurrencies to another financial institution or exchange will soon be required to provide the recipient's name, address and, in the case of Japan, the recipient's destination wallet.
Coinbase to track off-platform crypto transfers
For users in Singapore, all crypto transfers from a Coinbase user's exchange to an external address must include the recipient's full name and country of residence. This will go into effect on April 1, with Coinbase citing local Singaporean regulations. And in Japan, all transfers of crypto assets to recipients outside Japan must include the recipient's name, address and destination wallet, according the rules established by the Japan Cryptocurrency Trading Association (JVCEA). This will come into effect on April 1.According to a FAQ provided by Coinbase, Canadian users sending more than CAD $1000 ($798) in cryptocurrencies to a financial institution or other crypto exchange will have to provide the recipient's name and address. This will go into effect on April 4, Coinbase said, citing Canadian FINTRAC regulations as the reason for the change.
The implications of the 'Travel Rule'
For many countries, the path to mainstream crypto adoption is paved by strict regulations such as the Travel Rule, which aims to combat money laundering and terrorist financing in crypto transactions. However, this also means that users who use a centralized exchange will have to provide much more personal information than before.The move does not seem to go down well with Coinbase customers in these countries who value the anonymity of cryptocurrency transactions, and also highlights the fact that Singapore is not as crypto-friendly as many people thought. It is likely that more countries will begin to expand their travel rule as this is one of the solutions praised by the Financial Action Task Force for regulating cryptocurrencies.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I trust Cryptonary's calls?
Yes. We've consistently identified winners across multiple cycles. Bitcoin under $1,000, Ethereum under $70, Solana under $10, WIF from $0.003 to $5, PopCat from $0.004 to $2, SPX blasting past $1.70, and our latest pick has already 200X'd since June 2025. Everything is timestamped and public record.
Do I need to be an experienced trader or investor to benefit?
No. When we founded Cryptonary in 2017 the market was new to everyone. We intentionally created content that was easy to understand and actionable. That foundational principle is the crux of Cryptonary. Taking complex ideas and opportunities and presenting them in a way a 10 year old could understand.
What makes Cryptonary different from free crypto content on YouTube or Twitter?
Signal vs noise. We filter out 99.9% of garbage projects, provide data backed analysis, and have a proven track record of finding winners. Not to mention since Cryptonary's inception in 2017 we have never taken investment, sponsorship or partnership. Compare this to pretty much everyone else, no track record, and a long list of partnerships that cloud judgements.
Why is there no trial or refund policy?
We share highly sensitive, time-critical research. Once it's out, it can't be "returned." That's why membership is annual only. Crypto success takes time and commitment. If someone is not willing to invest 12 months into their future, there is no place for them at Cryptonary.
Do I get direct access to the Cryptonary team?
Yes. You will have 24/7 to the team that bought you BTC at $1,000, ETH at $70, and SOL at $10. Through our community chats, live Q&As, and member only channels, you can ask questions and interact directly with the team. Our team has over 50 years of combined experience which you can tap into every single day.
How often is content updated?
Daily. We provide real-time updates, weekly reports, emergency alerts, and live Q&As when the markets move fast. In crypto, the market moves fast, in Cryptonary, we move faster.
