Canada plans to ban political donations in cryptocurrency, targeting "external interference"

It proposes to include cryptocurrency donations under campaign donation regulations, with a maximum penalty of twice the donation amount for violations.

The gray channel for political donations may be closed off. Canada's new proposal treats cryptocurrency donations as a more difficult-to-trace entry point, directly tightening the rules.

Once implemented, political parties and candidates will face stricter compliance verification; the manipulation risks posed by external funds and deep forgery will also be brought to the forefront more frequently.

What the market needs to watch next is not the slogans, but the enforcement details: KYC, proof of fund sources, and the speed of penalty implementation.
