The U.S. Treasury sanctioned eight Canadian over-the-counter crypto exchanges on November 6, including Nia Nations (NNCE) and Million Exchange (MillionEX), according to on-chain investigator ZachXBT. The action followed ZachXBT's recommendation five months earlier to crack down on OTC brokers abused by Iran-linked entities. ZachXBT characterized Canada as one of the weakest jurisdictions globally for enforcement, which he said enabled widespread misuse. The sanctions matter because they extend U.S. enforcement reach to North American trading venues and could push counterparties to reassess exposure to the named platforms. What to watch next is whether other Canadian OTC desks face similar scrutiny and how the sanctioned firms' trading volumes and counterparties respond.
