Federal Court of Canada deems cryptocurrency freeze unconstitutional

The Trudeau government's resolution to freeze cryptocurrencies amidst the "Freedom Convoy" protests in 2022 was ruled as unconstitutional by the Federal Court of Canada, posing a significant legal challenge to their use of emergency powers.

The court confirmed this decision on January 23, identifying the crypto freeze as unlawful, prompting a reevaluation of the government's emergency approach.
