Crypto products are in news stories and in a lot of advertising. But what do Canadians really know about crypto investments and how they work and how they are regulated? The OSC’s Crypto Asset Survey provides useful insights about the crypto ownership and knowledge of Canadians.

Key results

The survey provides a profile of these crypto owners, their reasons for purchasing crypto assets or crypto funds, the role of financial advice, impact of advertising, and the experience of crypto owners with crypto trading platforms.
