If Canada Moves Too Slowly on Stablecoins, Here’s What’s at Risk

from The CDHI Podcast · host C.D. Howe Institute

Howe Institute Podcast, senior policy analyst Peter MacKenzie and fellow-in-residence Mark Zelmer tell host Michael Hainsworth why Stablecoin isn’t just a cryptocurrency fad, what the risks are if we stick our heads in the sand, and what path Ottawa should take to forge our own currency.
