They are needed to bring into force the Stablecoin Act, which received royal assent in March 2026, under which non-financial-institution issuers must register with the Bank of Canada, hold a 1:1 reserve in the reference currency and redeem at par. The draft limits reserves to high-quality liquid assets (demand deposits, government debt of three months or less, one-day reverse repos and qualifying money market funds), requires redemption within three business days, caps redemption fees at 1%, bans interest or yield tied to holding a stablecoin, and requires reserves to be held at a Canadian-incorporated qualified custodian. Related amendments bring stablecoin payment service providers under the Retail Payment Activities Act. Comments are open for 60 days.

The project will keep testing its prototype and examine how such a platform could operate within existing rules on settlement finality and anti-money-laundering. The Bank said the project involves seven other central banks and more than 40 financial institutions.
