OSC Canada warns top exchange CEOs against promotion of self-custodial wallets
Canada is in a state of protests, and a lot of fear exists in the crypto market. As a result, the investors are worried about their investments. Moreover, the government is seizing the assets of citizens with prior information. In such a situation, the CEOs of Coinbase and Kraken stepped up to help the citizens. Royal Canadian Mounted Police are looking at the CEOs with eerie eyes.
Canada OSC reported tweets to the Mounties
The Royal Canadian Mounted Police or Mounties were informed of a few tweets by CEOs of Coinbase and Kraken by the Ontario Securities Commission (OSC), a regulatory agency that administers and enforces securities legislation in the Canadian province of Ontario, as per the report from The Logic.In the tweets, the CEOs of the two exchanges "appeared to offer advice on how crypto users could evade emergency restrictions on funding for the protests roiling the country." The OSC Canada noted that they are "aware" of the tweets released by the Kraken CEO Jesse Powell and Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong, which "criticized the invocation of the Emergencies Act and advocated for the importance of non-custodial crypto wallets."
Comments from OSC
Kristen Rose, the OSC's manager of public affairs, commented:"We are aware of this information and have shared it with the RCMP and relevant federal authorities."The RCMP has sent a list of many cryptocurrency wallet addresses and has asked the exchanges to shut down these addresses, which are being used to fund the riots. Furthermore, it is also important to note that Powell recently tweeted about a Feb. 6 donation of just over one bitcoin to the HonkHonk Hodl, the crypto fundraiser in support of the convoy protests against the government's COVID-19 response. It seems that the once seemed crypto-friendly is now the industry's worst enemy.

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.
How does the 3X Value Guarantee work?
We stand behind the value of our research. If the documented upside from our published research during your 12-month membership does not exceed three times (3X) the annual subscription cost, you can request a full refund. Historical context: In every completed market cycle since 2017, cumulative documented upside has exceeded 10X this threshold.
