Which regulator covers which crypto activity

Regulators usually publish guidance for the public: warnings about risky products, lists of registered firms and plain explanations of their powers. For crypto, these pages are often the most reliable starting point, because they state what the body actually oversees.

Chain Vertex points to this kind of official page rather than summarizing the rules itself. Where an article touches a rule, it names the type of body to consult and leaves the current wording to the official source, which is updated more often than a general guide can be.

In Canada, securities regulation sits with the provinces and territories. In Saskatchewan, the securities regulator is the Financial and Consumer Affairs Authority of Saskatchewan (FCAA); its website is the place to look for investor information and warnings. The Financial Transactions and Reports Analysis Centre of Canada (FINTRAC) supervises anti-money-laundering rules for money services businesses, including those that deal in virtual currency, and the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) publishes tax guidance for crypto-assets. The Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre (CAFC) takes fraud reports.
