U.S.-based cryptocurrency exchange Coinbase is in talks with Canadian banking giants in an attempt to convince them to support the country’s crypto ecosystem.
Lucas Matheson, director of Coinbase’s Canadian operations, told CoinDesk in an interview that he has been in conversations with top Canadian banks.
He didn’t name them, but the Big Five of Canadian banks are: Royal Bank of Canada, Toronto-Dominion Bank, Bank of Nova Scotia, Bank of Montreal and Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce.
“My hope is that over the next few quarters, we’ll see some of the biggest banks in Canada starting to get involved in the crypto economy,” Matheson said.
