CSA invites stakeholders to join its tokenization workshop in Toronto

TORONTO and CALGARY – The Canadian Securities Administrators (CSA) invites interested stakeholders to join the livestream for its upcoming Toronto tokenization workshop: Powering Growth and Competitiveness taking place on Thursday, June 11, 2026. 

Building on the discussion in Calgary, the workshop is intended to bring together stakeholders and members of the CSA to obtain practical input on tokenization in capital markets. The Toronto workshop will include discussions about key existing and potential use cases that can reduce costs or improve efficiencies, legal questions requiring further analysis and resolution, friction points with existing securities laws, and topics that could benefit from regulatory guidance.

Through Project Tokenization, the CSA will work collaboratively with stakeholders to deepen regulatory understanding as tokenization evolves in capital markets. The initial phase of the project will explore the opportunities and risks of tokenization through engagement with stakeholders, issue mapping and targeted research. Subsequent phases could include a discussion paper or potentially the live testing of tokenized financial instruments and infrastructure within the CSA Collaboratory.
