TMX leaves door open for clearing trades of marijuana stocks with U.S. exposure
News:
TMX announced that there is no ban on clearing securities of cannabis companies with U.S. interest. Instead, TMX would focus on applying strict listing and compliance requirements. The Canadian Securities Exchange said that pot companies must disclose risks when they invest in U.S.
"This is a positive development for CannaRoyalty and for any issuer with U.S. marijuana-related activities traded on the Canadian Securities Exchange ("CSE")," said Marc, Lustig, CannaRoyalty CEO.
Comments:
With the rapid growth of cannabis industry, many Canadian financial institutions face the dilemma of whether to invest in the industry due to different legal status in U.S. and Canada. This conflicts could develop further after Canada legalized recreational use of cannabis in July next year, as many large corporations expressed their interests in the distribution of cannabis. FIs should move carefully as the cannabis industry expose participated FIs to heavy reputation and legal risks.
