Canada proposes ban on crypto political donations in election integrity bill
Canada’s Liberal government introduced Bill C-25, the Strong and Free Elections Act, on March 26, which would prohibit cryptocurrency, money order and prepaid card donations across the federal political system.The bill follows years of warnings from the country’s Chief Electoral Officer and comes one day after the U.K. announced a moratorium on crypto donations to political parties.No major Canadian federal party has ever publicly accepted crypto contributions, and no crypto donations were disclosed in either the 2021 or 2025 federal elections.
