Can I buy Sui in Canada?

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

Because Sui 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 Sui?

Sui (SUI) is the native token of the Sui blockchain — a Layer-1 network designed for fast, low-latency transactions and highly scalable applications. Built using the Move programming language, Sui's unique object-based model allows many transactions to be processed in parallel, helping the network handle heavy workloads.

The SUI coin powers the ecosystem by:

• Paying gas fees and on-chain storage
• Staking with validators to secure the network and earn rewards
• Enabling future governance and community participation

Since its launch in 2023, Sui has attracted projects in DeFi, gaming and commerce, and has positioned itself as an alternative to other Layer-1 chains.

What will I need to buy Sui?

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 Sui 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 Sui with a credit card?

Several crypto exchanges in Canada accept credit cards as an instant purchase method. However, before buying Sui 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 Sui, you could end up paying this:

• Price of SUI: $1.40 USD
• Purchase amount: 5 SUI
• Estimated exchange fee (3%): $0.21 USD
• Total cost: $7.21 USD

If it took you three months to pay off your Sui purchase at a credit card interest rate of 19.99% APR, you would pay an additional $0.36 USD in interest on top of what you originally paid to buy Sui.

This example can help you compare the relative cost of buying Sui 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 Sui, or visit our guide on buying crypto with a credit card for more details.

Can I buy Sui with a debit card?

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

To buy Sui 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 Sui crypto a good investment?

Like any cryptocurrency, buying Sui can be risky. But there are precautions you can take to help mitigate risk. Consider these general factors before investing in Sui:

• Price volatility: Sui's price is largely based on speculation, meaning it can rise or fall quickly. For example, Sui's price has decreased by -7.41% 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 Sui purchase order or moving Sui 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 Sui sent to the wrong address.

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

Where to store your Sui once you buy it

There are two main options for storing Sui 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 Sui 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 Sui taxed in Canada?

Like all crypto, Sui 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 Sui can be treated as income or capital gains. That said, the CRA will tax crypto profits differently if you're a casual Sui 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 Sui can be risky. But if you decide to invest in Sui, look for a regulated crypto exchange in Canada that supports SUI, and make sure to store your crypto securely.

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