Probably the safest Canadian exchange to invest in cryptocurrency; during the height of the panic sell after FTX's collapse, NDAX remained transparent and there were no issues with withdrawing funds at all.

NDAX is a safe and reliable exchange for Canadians. They are very careful with your money, and it can be frustrating some times because you want to send cryptocurrency and they will warn you of possible frauds …
