7 tokenisation platforms listed for Canada
In ChainChoice’s published ranking order, from this category’s 7 providers: those whose terms exclude Canada are removed; naming Canada or a region that covers it counts the same, and those whose terms do not state it come last. Each chip names the basis: a dated check, a region listing, or the provider's own claim.
#1 for CanadaTaurus (Taurus-CAPITAL / Taurus-TOKENIZE)#1 globallyProvider states broad availability Publishes the tokenisation service contract itself: art. 973d ledger-based securities, the CMTAT hyperlinked in the definitions, a key handover written with provisos — and 21 clauses that stop short of Taurus’s own failure.
Control surface and who holds it — 9/10Counterparty and licence — 9/10#2 for CanadaObligate (eNote)#2 globallyProvider states broad availability Art. 973d CO ledger-based securities: the published framework says the right may only be asserted and transferred via the ledger, the instrument levers sit with the Issuer or an appointed Agent, and the token is a CMTAT.
Instrument and record authority — 9/10Control surface and who holds it — 8/10#3 for CanadaVertalo (Vertalo Securities Protocol)#3 globallyProvider states broad availability SEC-registered transfer agent, CIK 0001793379, whose protocol writes only a holder's balance on-chain and lets you keep the TA registration. But the site answers which record governs both ways, and /terms carries no exit.
Instrument and record authority — 9/10Counterparty and licence — 9/10#4 for CanadaInvestaX (IC SG Pte. Ltd.)#4 globallyProvider states broad availability MAS licence CMS100635 published for IC SG Pte. Ltd., which resolves in MAS’s directory under three licence heads. A template VCC constitution and a named fund put entitlement on a register; the allowlist is InvestaX-run.
Counterparty and licence — 9/10Instrument and record authority — 7/10#5 for CanadaBlocksquare#5 globallyProvider states broad availability Publishes the instrument itself — corporate resolution Articles 1 to 7 — plus mainnet addresses with bytecode; the token is a revenue royalty, Art. 1 lets shareholders warrant only an option to purchase, and the levers are Blocksquare’s.
Instrument and record authority — 7/10Continuity if platform stops — 7/10#6 for CanadaTokeny (T-REX / ERC-3643)#6 globallyProvider states broad availability Top-band control surface — force transfer, block wallets, burn, role-gated against Final ERC-3643 — under a contract that leaves the instrument to the Purchase Order and a legal notice that stops at the register number.
Control surface and who holds it — 9/10Counterparty and licence — 5/10#7 for CanadaBrickken#7 globallyProvider states broad availability Spanish SaaS issuance rails priced in public across three tabs (€299 to €5,000 a month); its equity guide cites the statutes that make a record authoritative, but its own contract leaves the token to the Issuer.
