Can I buy EOS in Canada?

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

Because EOS 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 EOS?

EOS is a blockchain and smart contract platform designed to compete with blockchains like Ethereum. It was designed with many features already built-in, allowing developers to make dapps more easily and in a standardised manner. It's engineered to scale to millions of transactions per second, with new blocks created every 0.5 seconds. EOS uses a delegated proof-of-stake (DPoS) consensus mechanism that allows EOS coin holders to select 21 block producers who approve transactions. The EOS coin is used for payments, governance and staking.

What will I need to buy EOS?

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 EOS 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 EOS with a credit card?

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

• Price of EOS: $0.074 USD
• Purchase amount: 1000 EOS
• Estimated exchange fee (3%): $2.23 USD
• Total cost: $76.62 USD

If it took you three months to pay off your EOS purchase at a credit card interest rate of 19.99% APR, you would pay an additional $3.83 USD in interest on top of what you originally paid to buy EOS.

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

Can I buy EOS with a debit card?

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

To buy EOS 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 EOS crypto a good investment?

Before buying EOS or any other cryptocurrency, it's essential to do your own research into how the currency works and the factors that could potentially affect its price. Digital currencies are complicated, volatile assets, so make sure you're fully aware of the risks involved before making a purchase.

If you're thinking of buying EOS, consider the following factors:

Competition. EOS is far from the only challenger to Ethereum, with Cardano, Polkadot, Solana and a host of other platforms competing for market share.

Competition from these projects could have an impact on the level of widespread adoption EOS achieves

White paper. If you want to know more about the technology behind the EOS platform, check out the EOS technical white paper

Partnerships. In the first quarter of 2018, block.one announced a partnership with digital assets merchant bank Galaxy Digital to develop the EOS ecosystem and invest in projects that use EOS blockchain software.

It also joined forces with German fintech incubator FinLab AG to develop projects using EOS software

Development. EOS launched in 2018 to significant fanfare, however development news has been somewhat quiet compared to similar projects, with CTO and figurehead Dan Larimer announcing his retirement from parent company block.one in January 2021

• Price volatility: EOS's price is largely based on speculation, meaning it can rise or fall quickly. For example, EOS's price has decreased by -26.46% 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 EOS purchase order or moving EOS 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 EOS sent to the wrong address.

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

Where to store your EOS once you buy it

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

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

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