Last week at Blockchain Futurist Conference, our CEO Didier Lavallee spoke on the panel “TradFi to Crypto: Integrating Crypto into Institutional Investments and the Rise of Crypto ETFs." The discussion covered the evolution of blockchain "from hoodies to suits”, as the industry transitions from tech-driven innovation to becoming the new financial infrastructure. Didier emphasized the importance of securing digital assets - “Not your keys, not your assets” and the motivation behind building financial systems for future generations. The panelists also explored the tokenization of real-world assets and the importance of meeting people where they are in their crypto journey, offering products tailored to their diverse needs.

In this brief video from Tetra's Educational Series on the state of digital asset custody in Canada, Tetra's CEO, Didier Lavallee, emphasizes the importance of knowing where your digital assets are stored. This awareness is crucial, especially in the event of adverse circumstances that could impact asset recovery. As a regulated Canadian trust corporation, assets under Tetra's custody are protected by Canadian laws and regulations in such situations.

Canadian consumers need to ask: Where are my assets? In our latest primer, Tetra Trust—Canada's only licensed digital asset custodian—highlights the potential risks in the current digital asset custody landscape in Canada. Notably, foreign custodians control over 89% of Canadian-owned digital assets and 90% of U.S. Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs. This reliance could lead to significant jurisdictional challenges in the event of adverse circumstances. Tetra Trust is advocating for greater transparency and stronger regulations to protect Canadians. Consumers deserve to know where their assets are and who controls them.

In this first video of Tetra’s educational series on the state of digital asset custody in Canada, Tetra’s CEO, Didier Lavallee, discusses the important gaps in Canadian regulation when it comes to the custody of digital assets, notably in terms of framework, transparency requirements, and importantly in terms of jurisdictional risks exposure.
