The Alberta Securities Commission is an organization that oversees Alberta’s securities laws and protects investors. They can give fines, freeze assets, and ban people from the market if they do not follow the rules. They can also prosecute people under criminal law on behalf of the government. The Commission does not give advice on investing though, and they cannot get lost money back for you. The Commission does not oversee cryptocurrencies themselves, but does keep check on investment firms that use cryptocurrencies.  Last Reviewed: March 2023
