Coinbase Canada Director: Canadians Are Beginning To Stop Viewing Digital Assets As Speculative Investments

Lucas Matheson, the director of Coinbase Canada, stated that Canadians are beginning to view digital assets as legitimate assets for everyday transactions, rather than speculative investments. Matheson stated that everyone in the industry is excited about this development, and that in Canada, they are ready to move beyond viewing digital assets as speculative retail investments. This is a movement and a belief in financial democratization.

With the popularity of cryptocurrencies and NFTs, Canadians are becoming more familiar with the concept of decentralization and how digital assets can become a normal part of everyday life for everyone.
