Adriaan Dekker shared an email from Google announcing a policy update for Cryptocurrencies and related products policy targeting Canada, effective July 16, 2025.
- Advertisers must be registered with FINTRAC (CANAFE) as a money services business
- Compliance with all local legal requirements is mandatory
- Google certification remains required
This also applies to crypto exchanges and software wallets.
Violations will not result in immediate suspension, as Google will first issue a 7-day warning.
