The CSA says securities administrators issued 1,054 investor alerts, cautions and warnings, up from 758 a year earlier, with more than half related to cryptocurrencies.

It says 64 individuals and 39 companies were banned from participating in markets, compared with 81 individuals and 23 companies a year earlier.

A total of 16.5 years of jail terms were issued to six individuals, up from 5.5 years for five individuals a year earlier.
