Coinbase to Suspend Trading with USDT, DAI and RAI for Canadian Users

Crypto exchange Coinbase (COIN) will suspend trading with USDT, DAI and RAI stablecoins for Canadian users starting at the end of this month, the company said in an email.

"We regularly monitor the assets on our exchange to ensure they meet our listing standards," the note sent to users reads. "Based on our most recent reviews, Coinbase will suspend trading in Canada for RAI Reflex Index (RAI), Dai (DAI) and Tether (USDT) on Aug. 31 around 12 pm ET."

Users will be able to deposit and withdraw the impacted stablecoins following the trading suspension, the note added.

The action comes after Coinbase expanded its services in the country​ with an official launch this week, integrating local banking rails and working with regulators. The exchange earlier praised Canadian authorities' approach to regulate crypto with clear rules and engaging with digital asset firms.
