    I believe bitcoin adoption in Canada is still in its earliest chapters and the stories we tell now will shape what comes next. That’s why I’m looking for an experienced Product Marketing Manager to join the Shakepay marketing team. This role is for you if: You’re extremely mission-aligned. You care deeply about growing bitcoin adoption in Canada, and helping more Canadians own more bitcoin through the innovative financial tools we're building. You truly understand the appeal of, and barriers to, adoption and factor this into your strategy. You sell a vision, not products. You turn product launches into narratives, connecting everyday features to a bigger vision, and help people understand why something matters. From strategy to copywriting, you're creating the story from start to finish. You want to move quickly and take real ownership. Shakepay moves fast. Onboarding takes days, not weeks or months. You’ll be trusted early, working on meaningful projects from the start, with the autonomy to shape how our products are positioned and understood. If this sounds like you, or someone you know, I’d love for you to apply or share the role. Feeling inspired? Connect with me and send a DM, I'd love to meet you. 2026 is shaping up to be a huge year for Shakepay. Come help us tell the story! https://lnkd.in/gduGEMgc

    Big step forward for fintech and digital payments in Canada. 🇨🇦 Budget 2025 officially sets the stage for CAD-backed stablecoins to be recognized as payments, not as investments. Here’s what’s coming: • A prudential framework for stablecoins run by the Bank of Canada • 1:1 reserves and clear redemption rules to keep funds safe • Strong standards for risk, privacy, and national security • Updates to the RPAA, so payment companies using stablecoins are recognized as payments providers, not securities dealers We’ve been pushing for this kind of clarity for years at Shakepay, and it’s great to see real progress. Now the focus turns to implementation: making sure the framework stays open, proportional, and accessible, so fintechs can help build the next generation of trusted payment rails for Canadians. Hats off to François-Philippe Champagne and his team. Taking an idea and turning it into a full framework in under 3 months is no small feat. The speed and collaboration here show what’s possible when government and industry pull in the same direction. https://lnkd.in/gtmpNusw

    Stablecoins are reshaping payments around the world, and now Canada is getting involved. We’re proud (and fired up!) to share that Shakepay is partnering with some of the country’s largest tech and financial companies to launch a fiat-backed Canadian stablecoin in 2026. 🇨🇦 Alongside our partners Tetra Trust Company, Purpose Investments, Wealthsimple, Shopify, ATB Financial, National Bank of Canada, and Urbana Corporation, we’re building homegrown financial infrastructure to give Canadians more choice in how they move, hold, and grow their money, For Shakepay, this is a natural extension of our mission. Why does this matter? Because having a Canadian-backed stablecoin, issued and reserved in Canada, secures Canadian sovereignty over our digital financial future. It keeps innovation and consumer protection here at home. The stablecoin will be: ✔️ Issued by Tetra Trust, a regulated Canadian financial institution ✔️ Backed 1:1 with CAD reserves held in Canada ✔️ Built on institutional-grade custody & security We’ve come a long way, and this is just the beginning. More details coming soon. https://lnkd.in/eKN6W9wg
