OSC’s Fintech Advisory Committee welcomes new members

The Ontario Securities Commission (OSC), a regulatory agency that administers and enforces securities legislation in the Canadian province of Ontario, announced the members for its new Fintech Advisory Committee (FAC).

FAC members include Joseph Lubin from ConsenSys, Francis Pouliot from Satoshi Portal, Michael Tang from Deloitte, Jason Cassidy from Crypto Consultant, Sue Britton from Fin+Tech Growth Syndicate, among others.

“We had an overwhelming interest in the FAC.  These individuals have direct business experience with fintech innovation and in-depth knowledge of the issues faced by firms navigating securities law requirements.

The OSC LaunchPad team provides direct support to eligible fintech businesses in terms of navigating the regulatory requirements. Also, it strives to keep regulation on par with the digital innovation.
