Is bitcoin legal in Canada?
Bitcoin is legal in Canada and the exchange market is tightly regulated. Platforms serving Canadians must register under the Canadian Securities Administrators' framework, and the tier varies: Bitbuy, through Coinsquare Capital Markets Ltd., and Shakepay are registered Investment Dealers and members of CIRO, while Coinbase has held a restricted dealer registration since April 2024 and Kraken since April 2025, each with the Ontario Securities Commission as principal regulator. Quebec adds a layer: the Autorite des marches financiers keeps its own register, and every platform we list appears on it. Exchanges must also register with FINTRAC as money services businesses.
