  Yes, there are regulations on cryptocurrency trading in Canada. The Canadian government has taken steps to regulate the cryptocurrency industry to prevent fraud, money laundering, and other illegal activities. The Financial Transactions and Reports Analysis Centre of Canada (FINTRAC) requires cryptocurrency exchanges and other businesses dealing with virtual currencies to register as money services businesses (MSBs) and comply with anti-money laundering (AML) and know-your-customer (KYC) regulations. Additionally, the Canadian Securities Administrators (CSA) has issued guidelines for cryptocurrency exchanges and initial coin offerings (ICOs) to ensure investor protection.
