Canada
Canada has a habit of firsts in Bitcoin: the world's first Bitcoin ATM opened in a Vancouver coffee shop in 2013, and in 2021 the Purpose Bitcoin ETF became the first spot bitcoin ETF to trade anywhere. Bitcoin is legal here, though not legal tender. Exchanges and brokers must register with FINTRAC as money services businesses, and bitcoin is generally treated as a commodity for tax purposes, with gains taxed as capital gains or income. Cheap hydro power in provinces such as Quebec and Alberta has also drawn bitcoin miners. From Toronto and Vancouver to Montreal, active meetups and merchants keep the community growing.
