The Institutional Desk in a Retail Market
Canada has no shortage of retail crypto platforms. What it lacks is a desk built for size: block execution, discreet handling, and settlement documentation that a CFO, fund administrator, or private banker will accept.
That's the gap RYKI Inc fills. A FINTRAC-registered money services business (MSB #M19525430) running institutional OTC execution and crypto-to-CAD settlement from Waterloo, Ontario, for businesses, family offices, and HNWIs across Canada. No order books, no retail queues; a named dealer and one all-in price for the full trade.
Moving Between Crypto and CAD at Size
Selling $2M of Bitcoin through a retail platform means slippage, withdrawal limits, and a compliance review that starts after the fact. The crypto OTC desk runs it as one private transaction: a locked CAD price for the full size, execution off public order books, and same-day bank settlement where cut-offs permit.
The same rails work in both directions and beyond the trade itself: corporate treasuries converting revenue on a schedule, stablecoin trading for cross-border payments and payroll, and cleared CAD for major purchases, including real estate transactions where lenders and lawyers need documented, bankable funds.
Who RYKI Serves in Canada
Canadian businesses and corporate treasuries. Scheduled conversions, treasury management, and reporting that keeps your accountant and bank onside.
Family offices and HNWIs. Discreet block execution and institutional custody with multi-generational governance built in.
Funds and asset managers. A counterparty you can name in an audit, with trade documentation LPs and administrators accept.
Crypto-native businesses. Banking-grade CAD rails for exchanges, protocols, and blockchain companies that generic providers won't bank.
The desk itself is run by the RYKI team with Canadian capital-markets pedigree: leadership from TD Securities, BMO, and RBC Capital Markets trading floors and Coinsquare's institutional desk.
What FINTRAC Registration Means for You
FINTRAC is Canada's financial intelligence unit, and MSB registration #M19525430 puts RYKI under its supervision: mandatory KYC, record-keeping, and transaction reporting obligations on every trade.
The practical effect is bankability. Funds arriving from a registered MSB with full documentation clear where funds from an offshore wallet or a private sale stall. For real estate closings, audits, and financing, that paper trail is the product. The registration is verifiable in FINTRAC's public MSB registry.
Getting Started in Canada
Submit an enquiry and a dealer responds within two business hours. Onboarding runs KYC and source-of-funds appropriate to your situation; institutional accounts typically transact within a few business days.
RYKI is not a retail exchange. Every Canadian client is onboarded through a relationship manager and a tailored compliance review, supported from the Waterloo office, with bespoke solutions available where the engagement calls for more than execution.
Frequently asked questions

Retail exchanges serve self-directed traders on public order books with deposit and withdrawal limits.

Through an OTC block trade where you submit an enquiry, complete KYC, receive one all-in CAD quote for the full amount, and settle to your Canadian bank account same-day where cut-offs permit. No order-book slippage, no retail withdrawal limits, full documentation included.
Same-day bank settlement where banking cut-offs permit, with stablecoin settlement typically clearing in minutes. Your dealer confirms the settlement path before the trade executes, so timing is agreed upfront rather than discovered afterwards.
The CRA generally treats crypto disposals as capital gains or business income, depending on your circumstances, and converting crypto to CAD is a taxable disposition. RYKI provides full trade documentation for your records but does not provide tax advice; speak with a qualified Canadian tax adviser.
As a FINTRAC-registered MSB, RYKI meets mandatory record-keeping and reporting obligations under Canadian law, the same framework every compliant financial services provider operates under. Your dealer can walk you through exactly what documentation applies to your transaction during onboarding.
