Canadian crypto ownership reached 25% in 2026, up from 10% in 2023, according to a survey by the Ontario Securities Commission (OSC). Conducted between December 2025 and January 2026, the poll surveyed 2,360 adults, with 59% aware of crypto assets. Many remain unclear about regulatory protections and platform registration, despite growing awareness. The MiCA framework in Europe continues to influence global liquidity and crypto markets. In April, the Canadian government proposed a bill to ban crypto ATMs and political donations.

ChainCatcher report, according to Cointelegraph, the Ontario Securities Commission (OSC) survey found that the rate of cryptocurrency ownership in Canada rose from 10% in 2023 to 25% in 2026. The survey, conducted between December 2025 and January 2026 among 2,360 respondents aged 18 and older, revealed that 59% of respondents were aware of crypto assets, and 25% owned them. The survey also indicated increased investor awareness of risks, but limited industry understanding—approximately 50% of owners check whether a platform is registered before using it, yet many investors hold misconceptions regarding regulation, insurance protection, and trading capabilities. The Canadian federal government has already introduced a bill in April prohibiting political donations in crypto assets and crypto ATMs.
