Canada Crypto Ownership Rate Surges 150% to 25% by 2026

OSC data reveals Canadian crypto ownership jumped from 10% in 2023 to 25% in 2026. While awareness hits 59%, regulatory misconceptions persist among holders.

Woofun AI data shows that the cryptocurrency ownership rate in Canada increased from 10% in 2023 to 25% in 2026, according to an Ontario Securities Commission investigation. The survey, conducted between December 2025 and January 2026 with 2,360 respondents aged 18 and older, found that 59% are aware of crypto assets. While risk awareness has risen, approximately 50% of holders verify platform registration, yet many misunderstand regulations, insurance, and trading capabilities.

Additionally, the Canadian federal government proposed a bill in April to ban political donations in crypto assets and crypto ATMs.
