RCMP asks cryptocurrency exchanges to halt trading for accounts connected to convoy protests

The RCMP is asking cryptocurrency exchanges to stop facilitating transactions with cryptocurrency accounts connected to convoy protests.

A letter sent to several cryptocurrency exchanges and obtained by The Globe and Mail notes that both the RCMP and the Ontario Provincial Police are investigating cryptocurrency donations “in relation to illegal acts falling under the scope of the Emergency Measures Act.”

The letter instructs the exchange operators to “cease facilitating any transactions” with more than 30 specific cryptocurrency wallet addresses that it lists.
