Canada, Fintrack, that upheld a notice of violation issued on March 31st, 2025, along with
a significant monetary penalty. While the company respects regulatory compliance, Kukoin strongly
disagrees with but the findings and the penalty. The exchange maintains that it should not
be classified as a foreign money services business under Canadian law and considers the fine
to be excessive and punitive. Kukoin has exercised its statutory right by appealing the decision
before the Federal Court of Canada, citing both substantive and procedural grounds.
