Can I buy Flow in Canada?

Yes, you can buy Flow in Canada. Simply open an account with a crypto exchange that operates in Canada and supports Flow—like the ones in our curated list above—and place a "buy" order. For example, Kraken supports Flow and is a registered crypto exchange in Canada.

Because Flow is decentralized, it isn't tied to any single country. That means you can buy and sell it from anywhere in the world, including Canada, as long as you have internet access.

What is Flow?

Flow is a social-focused blockchain (gaming and social media) created by Dapper Labs, the team behind CryptoKitties. Due to the scaling problems CryptoKitties had on Ethereum, Flow developers set out to build a highly scalable and user-friendly platform with an eye on consumer markets. Flow reached mainstream success in 2021 through the launch of NFT platform NBA Top Shot, which allows fans to trade digital collectibles. Accordingly, Flow has attracted investment from major firms such as Warner Music, Andreessen Horowitz and Digital Currency Group. The FLOW token is used for payments, gas fees and governance. It operates as a proof-of-stake token to reward validators with additional tokens for confirming transactions and securing the network.

What will I need to buy Flow?

To create an account with your chosen crypto platform, you only need an email address or mobile number. This will usually allow you to deposit cryptocurrency, but not CAD.

If you want to buy Flow with Canadian dollars, you'll need to pass a Know Your Customer (KYC) check.

This is a standard security procedure for most exchanges in Canada and requires you to upload government-issued photo ID, and, in some cases, a selfie with today's date.

KYC is usually approved instantly, but in rare cases, you may have to wait a few hours or days.

Can I buy Flow with a credit card?

Several crypto exchanges in Canada accept credit cards as an instant purchase method. However, before buying Flow with a credit card, you should be aware of the additional cost and risks involved.

For instance, credit card fees are usually higher than bank transfers or e‑Transfers. Some card issuers may even block cryptocurrency transactions or treat them as cash advances, which are more expensive. Plus, if you don't pay off your credit card within your statement period, you may end up paying interest on your card balance and losing money if the price moves quickly.

For example, if you were to use a credit card to buy Flow, you could end up paying this:

• Price of FLOW: $0.084 USD
• Purchase amount: 1000 FLOW
• Estimated exchange fee (3%): $2.53 USD
• Total cost: $86.95 USD

If it took you three months to pay off your Flow purchase at a credit card interest rate of 19.99% APR, you would pay an additional $4.35 USD in interest on top of what you originally paid to buy Flow.

This example can help you compare the relative cost of buying Flow with a credit card versus other lower‑fee methods like Interac e-Transfers.

You can check the table of Canadian crypto exchanges above to see which ones accept credit cards for buying Flow, or visit our guide on buying crypto with a credit card for more details.

Can I buy Flow with a debit card?

Yes, it is possible to buy Flow with a debit card, as most Canadian crypto exchanges accept debit cards as an instant payment method.

To buy Flow with a debit card, you'll typically need to go through the standard steps to purchase crypto on your preferred platform and then select debit from the list of payment options (e.g. Interac e-Transfer, debit card, credit card) before completing your purchase.

Just note that there are often higher fees for crypto purchases with cards (both debit and credit) compared to paying with Interac e-Transfer or with another cryptocurrency.

Is buying Flow crypto a good investment?

Below are the aspects you should consider before investing in FLOW:

Competition: Flow is yet another unique blockchain competing in an increasingly saturated market. Built to solve the scaling challenge associated with Ethereum, Flow joins a vast number of proof-of-stake networks all attempting to solve the same thing, competing with more established projects like Cardano, Algorand and Polkadot.

Fortunately the development team Dapper Labs are off to a strong start with substantial success in both CryptoKitties, NBA Top Shot and impressive VC backing

Consumer-focused: Flow is a consumer-focused platform striving for mainstream use. To achieve this it tried to make fiat on-ramping (getting dollars onto the blockchain) as frictionless as possible by handling all Flow transactions through a Dapper account.

Dapper lets users pay with credit or debit cards as well as leading cryptocurrencies, meaning users don't need to learn how to use a blockchain wallet or first buy cryptocurrency on an exchange to make purchases

Tokenomics: FLOW is designed to be the chain's native asset central to most, if not all applications. In addition to general payments, it's used to pay gas fees, works as a bridge asset between tokens on the network, and is required to mint new tokens or dapps on the network.

The Flow blockchain is designed to let buyers pay in any currency they want (including fiat) and for sellers to receive in any currency they want. As such, there is the potential for FLOW as a unit of payment to be undermined by fiat payments, especially given that it is targeting a mainstream audience

• Price volatility: Flow's price is largely based on speculation, meaning it can rise or fall quickly. For example, Flow's price has increased by 1.61% in just the last seven days.

• Transactions can't be reversed: Once you submit a transaction to the crypto network, it can't be cancelled or reversed. Double-check the receiving address before submitting a Flow purchase order or moving Flow off an exchange. One good way to do this is to verify the first and last four digits of the wallet address before sending. There is no way to refund Flow sent to the wrong address.

• Regulatory uncertainty: The regulatory environment for Flow and other cryptocurrencies is constantly changing. It's important to understand how international rulings have the potential to impact Flow's future—for better or worse.

Where to store your Flow once you buy it

There are two main options for storing Flow once you've bought it—keep it on an exchange or store it in your own personal wallet. Take a look at our guide to the best crypto wallets in Canada to see our top picks.

While it can be more convenient to leave your Flow on an exchange, you're vulnerable to risk if the exchange gets hacked or compromised in another way.

It's generally much safer to store your crypto on a software or hardware wallet, which gives you full control and custody of your coins.

How is Flow taxed in Canada?

Like all crypto, Flow is considered a commodity for tax purposes by the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA). That means it will be taxed similarly to other investments like stocks and ETFs.

Money you get from selling Flow can be treated as income or capital gains. That said, the CRA will tax crypto profits differently if you're a casual Flow buyer than if your crypto profits are classified as business income.

You can learn more about how crypto taxes work in our guide to crypto tax in Canada.

Bottom line

Keep in mind that buying Flow can be risky. But if you decide to invest in Flow, look for a regulated crypto exchange in Canada that supports FLOW, and make sure to store your crypto securely.

Once you've bought Flow, think about your short and long-term goals. Crypto markets can be very volatile, so keep an eye on Flow's price over time to decide whether to keep it on an exchange, sell it or move it to your wallet.
