Does CoinSmart report to the CRA?
CoinSmart is registered with both FINTRAC and the OSC - making it a highly compliant exchange that meets the regulatory standards of Canadian agencies - which includes collecting KYC data. Although neither CoinSmart or the CRA have publicly declared a data request, it doesn't mean that CoinSmart hasn't faced pressure from the CRA to share customer data to ensure compliance. The CRA has previously won the right to obtain customer data from Coinsquare and may pursue other Canadian exchanges in the future.
