15 Canadian Crypto ETFs in 2025

Investing 8 Mins Read

While directly holding cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and Ethereum is a popular option, investors looking for alternatives are clamoring for financial products such as crypto exchange-traded funds (ETFs).

Canada first launched Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs in 2021. These Canadian Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs allow investors to place returns in tax-sheltered accounts like tax-free savings accounts or registered retirement savings plans.

“There is a high demand for a Bitcoin product that has all the features that people love about ETFs — that they trade on an exchange, that they’re liquid,” Ross Mayfield, investment strategy analyst at Robert W. Baird & Co., told Bloomberg in mid-2021.

Interest has only increased since then. In the US, Bitcoin ETFs’ net assets surpassed US$100 billion in November 2024, gaining ground on US gold ETFs. Sean Farrell, head of digital asset strategy at Fundstrat, wrote in mid-2023 that the Bitcoin ETF category at large has the potential to surpass the precious metals ETF market in terms of asset value.

‘Bitcoin ETF eventually could become >$300 billion category,’ he said in the note.

Ethereum ETFs have also become a major talking point. Ethereum is the most widely used blockchain technology, and Ether, the digital currency of this platform, is the second largest cryptocurrency after Bitcoin.

In Q2 2025, Canadian ETF firms officially launched North America’s first Solana and XRP spot ETFs, offering investors exposure to the significant altcoins. The launch of XRP ETFs by Canadian firms comes amid increased clarity regarding XRP’s regulatory status in the US.

With that in mind, it’s worth taking a look at the currently available Canadian cryptocurrency ETFs.

The list below includes the biggest 15 crypto ETFs available on the Canadian market sorted by assets under management, and all data presented is current as of September 16, 2025.

1. Fidelity Advantage Bitcoin ETF (TSX:FBTC)

Assets under management: C$1.48 billion

The Fidelity Advantage Bitcoin ETF launched in November 2021. It offers the security of Fidelity’s in-house cold storage services for its holdings.

While it previously had a management fee of 0.39 percent, the Fidelity Advantage Bitcoin ETF lowered it in January 2025 to an ultra-low management fee of 0.32 percent.

2. CI Galaxy Bitcoin ETF (TSX:BTCX.B)

Assets under management: C$1.40 billion

Launched in March 2021, the CI Galaxy Bitcoin ETF was born out of a partnership between cryptocurrency leaders Galaxy Fund Management and CI Global Asset Management. Galaxy Fund Management is part of Galaxy Digital, a diversified financial services firm with a focus on digital assets and the blockchain technology sector.

The ETF’s objective is to give investors exposure to Bitcoin via an institutional-quality fund platform, as its holdings are wholly Bitcoin and are kept in cold storage. At 0.4 percent, this fund is another with one of the lowest management fees of the crypto funds on the market.

3. Purpose Bitcoin ETF (TSX:BTCC)

Assets under management: C$1.04 billion

Billed as the world’s first physically settled Bitcoin ETF, the Purpose Bitcoin ETF launched in February 2021 and is backed by Bitcoin in cold storage. This means the fund allows investors to add and sell Bitcoin with no digital wallet required.

Hosted by Canadian investment company Purpose Investments, the Purpose Bitcoin ETF has a management expense ratio of 1.5 percent.

4. CI Galaxy Ethereum ETF (TSX:ETHX.U)

Assets under management: C$805.65 million

The CI Galaxy Ethereum ETF, another collaboration between CI and Galaxy, offers investors exposure to the spot Ethereum price through Ether holdings in cold storage. The fund launched on April 20, 2021, the same day as two of the other Ether ETFs on this list.

The CI Galaxy Ethereum ETF has a low management fee of just 0.4 percent.

5. 3iQ Solana Staking ETF (TSX:SOLQ)

Assets under management: C$353.67 million

The 3iQ Solana Staking ETF is designed to provide investors with a user-friendly and secure way to gain exposure to SOL and earn passive rewards through staking. Its launch quickly garnered significant assets under management and attracted investments from SkyBridge Capital and two of ARK Invest’s ETFs.

For the first 12 months after its April 16, 2025, launch, the ETF features a 0 percent management fee. After this initial period, the management fee will be 0.15 percent.

6. Evolve Bitcoin ETF (TSX:EBIT)

Assets under management: C$261.36 million

Evolve ETFs partnered with cryptocurrency experts, including Gemini Trust Company, CF Benchmarks, Cidel Bank & Trust and CIBC Mellon Global Services, to launch the Evolve Bitcoin ETF. The fund, which holds its own Bitcoin, has a management fee of 0.75 percent.

Launched a week after the Purpose Bitcoin ETF, its holdings of Bitcoin are priced based on the CME CF Bitcoin Reference Rate, a once-a-day benchmark index price for Bitcoin denominated in US dollars.

7. Purpose Ether ETF (TSX:ETHH)

Assets under management: C$253.94 million

The Purpose Ether ETF is a direct-custody Ether ETF that launched on April 20, 2021. This fund currently holds over 87,000 Ether, which it stores in cold storage.

The Purpose Ether ETF offers investors exposure to the daily price movements of physically settled Ether tokens with a management fee of 1 percent.

8. 3iQ XRP ETF (TSX:XRPQ)

Assets under management: C$175.27 million

The 3iQ XRP ETF provides investors with exposure to XRP, the digital asset native to the XRP Ledger. The ETF, which launched on June 17, 2025, is passively managed and aims to track the performance of the CME CF XRP-Dollar Reference Rate. The underlying XRP is held in secure cold storage.

The fund’s primary objectives are to give unitholders an opportunity for long-term capital appreciation through exposure to XRP and its daily price movements against the US dollar. This XRP ETF has a 0 percent management fee for its first six months, after which time it will change to 0.59 percent.

9. Purpose Bitcoin Yield ETF (TSX:BTCY)

Assets under management: C$124.85 million

The Purpose Bitcoin Yield ETF uses a covered call strategy to generate yield for investors, which involves writing call options on Bitcoin. Call options give the buyer an option to purchase an asset at a specific price on or before a specific date.

Its structure allows the fund to earn income from option premiums while providing investors with exposure to Bitcoin’s price movements. Its distributions are paid monthly and has a management fee of 1.1 percent.

10. Evolve Ether ETF (TSX:ETHR)

Assets under management: C$107.32 million

The Evolve Ether ETF offers investors an easier route to investing in Ether. The fund’s holdings of Ether are priced based on the CME CF Ether-Dollar Reference Rate, a once-a-day benchmark index price for Ether denominated in US dollars.

As with the Evolve Bitcoin ETF, the Evolve Ether ETF has a management fee of 0.75 percent.

11. Fidelity Advantage Ether ETF (TSX:FETH)

Assets under management: C$101.38 million

Following the successful launch of its Bitcoin fund, Fidelity brought its Advantage Ether ETF to market in September 2022, making this the newest Ether ETF in Canada. Its holdings are stored in Fidelity’s in-house cold storage.

The Fidelity Advantage Ether ETF has a low management fee of 0.4 percent.

12. Purpose Ether Yield ETF (TSX:ETHY)

Assets under management: C$89 million

Like the Purpose Bitcoin Yield ETF, the Purpose Ether Yield ETF offers investors an opportunity to invest in Ether while also generating yield. Purpose Investments lends a portion of its Ether holdings to institutional borrowers and earns interest on those loans.

Investors who purchase shares of this ETF receive a portion of the interest earned in monthly distributions. Like Purpose’s Bitcoin Yield ETF, its management fee is 1.1 percent.

13. Purpose XRP ETF (TSX:XRPP)

Assets under management: C$82.27 million

The Purpose XRP ETF started trading on the Toronto Stock Exchange on June 18, 2025, as part of the launch of Canada’s first XRP ETFs. The fund invests directly in XRP, offering investors access to the XRP spot price.

The new asset is offering a 0 percent management fee through February 2026, after which time it will have a management fee of 0.69 percent.

14. Evolve Cryptocurrencies ETF (TSX:ETC)

Assets under management: C$78.95 million

The Evolve Cryptocurrencies ETF launched in September 2021 as the first multi-cryptocurrency ETF, providing combined exposure to both Bitcoin and Ether. Its holdings have since expanded to include XRP and Solana.

This product from Evolve ETFs allows investors to diversify their crypto portfolios and provides indirect exposure to the four coins, weighing them by market capitalization and rebalancing its holdings on a monthly basis. Bitcoin makes up the majority of its portfolio.

While this ETF has no management fee, the underlying funds that hold both Bitcoin and Ether have management fees of 0.75 percent plus applicable taxes.

15. Purpose Solana ETF (TSX:SOLL)

Assets under management: C$53.96 million

Silver Hammer Closes CDN$1,809,000 Fully Subscribed Non-Brokered Private Placement of Units

Investing 9 Mins Read

Silver Hammer Mining Corp. (CSE: HAMR) (the ‘Company‘ or ‘Silver Hammer‘) is pleased to announce that, further to its news releases dated June 17, 2025 and August 5, 2025, it has closed the second and final tranche (the ‘Second Tranche‘) of its previously announced non-brokered private placement (the ‘Offering‘), issuing 26,864,491 units (the ‘Units‘) at a price of CDN$0.055 per Unit for gross proceeds of CDN$1,477,547.01. Together with the first tranche of the Offering, the Company has issued an aggregate of 32,890,909 Units and raised total gross proceeds of CDN$1,809,000 under the Offering.

‘The Company is pleased to be fully subscribed and close over CDN$1.8 million, and I am excited to continue to be a large shareholder in the Company by subscribing once again alongside our existing and new shareholders. We have had significant interest in the private placement, well above the funds raised, and truly appreciate the support in the market,’ commented Peter A. Ball, President & CEO. ‘It will be an exciting period going forward for the Company in this robust silver market, which is approaching $43 per ounce, and showing potential for additional upside in the sector for 2026 and beyond. The Company is positioned extremely well with the ability to explore its seven historical high-grade drill-ready silver mines in Idaho and Nevada within our three 100% owned silver projects, with no royalties, or cumbersome earn-in exploration agreements, or future payments required. It was a tough past twelve months, but the market is back and so is Silver Hammer!’

Each Unit consists of one common share in the capital of the Company (a ‘Share‘) and one transferable common share purchase warrant (a ‘Warrant‘). Each Warrant entitles the holder to acquire one additional Share at an exercise price of CDN$0.07 for a period of five years from the date of issuance.

The Second Tranche was completed in reliance on prospectus exemptions under National Instrument 45-106 – Prospectus Exemptions (‘NI 45-106‘), and, for greater certainty, did not include any portion completed under the listed issuer financing exemption set out in Part 5A of NI 45-106. All securities issued in connection with the Second Tranche are subject to a statutory hold period of four months, expiring on January 19, 2026, in accordance with applicable securities laws.

In connection with the Second Tranche, the Company paid finder’s fees consisting of CDN$44,679.40 in cash and issued 1,012,353 finder’s warrants (the ‘Finder’s Warrants‘) to eligible finders. Each Finder’s Warrant is exercisable to acquire one Share at an exercise price of CDN$0.07 for a period of 60 months from the date of issuance.

Certain directors and officers of the Company have purchased an aggregate of 2,952,310 Units under the Second Tranche. Their participation constituted a ‘related party transaction’ within the meaning of Multilateral Instrument 61-101 – Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions (‘MI 61-101‘). The Company relied on exemptions from the formal valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements of MI 61-101, as neither the fair market value of the securities issued to insiders nor the consideration paid exceeded 25% of the Company’s market capitalization.

The Company intends to use the proceeds from the Offering for exploration of its Silver Strand project in Idaho and its Eliza and Silverton projects in Nevada (see below), as well as for general working capital and corporate purposes.

Projects Overview:

Silverton Project, Nevada

Silver Hammer has identified several targets at its 100% owned Silverton Project in Nevada and currently has 13 drill targets identified. The Company’s technical team is currently ranking and prioritizing targets at Silverton with a view towards completing a Phase I drill program in the fall of 2025. Previous exploration work, including rock and soil sampling, geologic mapping and satellite imagery, provided evidence of two separate mineralized systems: silver rich and gold rich. The volcanic-hosted gold system highlighted grades ranging from 0.06 grams per tonne (‘g/t’) to 6.1 g/t gold (‘Au’). The silver dominated mineral system is hosted by silicified limestone with grades ranging from 0.32 g/t silver (‘Ag’) to 692 g/t Ag.

Silver Strand Project, Idaho

The Company plans to follow up on previous exploration results at its 100% owned Silver Strand Project in Idaho by executing an eight (8) hole exploration drill program via its Plan of Operations Permit, which was previously approved. The majority of surface samples collected across the property have returned gold and silver mineralization, and historical and recent drilling completed by Silver Hammer in 2021 and 2022, and by previous operators in 2002, highlight high-grade silver and gold mineralization below the lowest level (90 metres) of the mine. In addition, the Company has recently been approached by a local operator to review the project and to potentially mine the Silver Strand Mine for feed for their milling operation through a small miner exemption previously granted.

Highlighted historical drill results and drill results completed by Silver Hammer (2021/2022) (refer to the Company’s website for detailed disclosure):

Drill Hole # Au Grade (g/t) Ag Grade (g/t) Length (m)
DDH02-001: 9.76 24.50 2.20
DDH02-003: 10.20 199.06 3.30
DDH02-004: 10.90 522.00 1.50
SS21-003: 1.13 89.76 4.57

SS22-018: 0.67 212.00 1.50
SS22-011: 2.00 115.00 0.70

*All reported intervals are downhole core lengths. Estimated true thickness’ range from 50% to 90% depending on the angle of the drillholes. Drill holes DDH02-001, DDH02-003 and DDH02-004 were drilled by previous owner, New Jersey Mining Company in 2002.

Eliza Project, Nevada

The Company plans to follow up on the significant previous exploration results at its 100% owned Eliza Project in Nevada. Results from rock chip and grab samples (from 2021 and 2022) confirmed the existence of a well-developed silver-rich mineral system, which also showed elevated enrichments in copper (Cu), lead (Pb) and zinc (Zn):

Sample ID No. Ag (g/t) Cu (%) Zn (%) Pb (%)
EZR007 1540 6.88 7.38 Not Sig.
EZR008 1410 5.40 2.60 9.05
PN662703 1290 Not Sig. Not Sig. Not Sig.
PN662717 1180 7.70 13.4 11.00
PN614025 450 4.89 15.00 9.04

The Company is currently fast tracking a property-wide Plan of Operations to submit to the USFS to ensure the project can be fully explored and advanced to a drill ready state on USFS ground, while also prioritizing exploration efforts for a 2026 drill program on patented ground within the Eliza Project area that encompasses the high-grade past-producing California Mine. The Company has completed a property-wide geophysical study, and ground truthing, including geologic mapping and structural analysis, to assist in finalizing the drill targets focused on the silver-rich mineral system mentioned above.

ETF data

Institutional Bitcoin demand is now outpacing new issuance. Bitwise data shows that US spot Bitcoin exchange-traded fund (ETF) inflows far exceed new Bitcoin supply. Monday’s (September 15) Bitcoin ETF inflows were about US$260 million versus ETH’s US$360 million, followed by an uptick to US$292 million on Tuesday (September 16).

This seven day inflow streak (US$2.9 billion) is the largest since July, pushing total Bitcoin ETF assets to US$151.7 billion, or around 6.6 percent of Bitcoin’s market cap. Data shows that 97 percent of this surge came from US spot funds, pushing their combined holdings to a record 1.32 million BTC.

Fear and Greed Index snapshot

Sentiment gauges have cooled from recent highs.

CMC’s Crypto Fear & Greed Index currently stands around 51 (neutral), down from “greed” levels last week.

The neutral reading, which is up only slightly from 49 last week, shows that while neither bullish nor bearish sentiments are dominant, investors are still cautiously optimistic buoyed by ETF inflows and Fed hopes of favorable interest rates.

Today’s crypto news to know

Bitcoin ETF inflows surge to highest level since July

Bitcoin exchange-traded products drew their largest weekly inflows since late July, according to K33 Research, as institutional investors piled back into the market.

Net inflows totaled 20,685 BTC, pushing US spot ETFs’ combined holdings to a record 1.32 million BTC.

Analysts say the fresh demand is outpacing new supply nearly nine times over, creating strong upward pressure on prices. Bitwise notes that this reallocation is coming at the expense of Ethereum, with capital flowing back into Bitcoin after months of mixed positioning. ETF inflows have become a critical driver of performance, with Bitwise data showing an unprecedented correlation between flows and price action.

With more than 22,000 BTC accumulated via funds in the last month, compared with just 14,000 newly mined, analysts see this as a bullish signal for the final quarter of the year.

Forward Industries files for US$4 billion ATM equity offering

Forward Industries (NASDAQ:FORD), a prominent Solana treasury company, has filed with the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to establish an at-the-market (ATM) equity offering program.

This initiative, announced on Wednesday, will be facilitated by Cantor Fitzgerald and will enable the company to incrementally sell up to US$4 billion of its common stock on the open market.

The company said it plans to use the net proceeds for general corporate purposes, including working capital, its Solana token strategy and acquiring income-generating assets.

Chairman of the Board, Kyle Samani, stated this offering provides a flexible mechanism to deploy capital for its Solana treasury strategy, scale its position, which already has over 6.8 million SOL purchased, strengthen its balance sheet and pursue growth initiatives.

Google, Coinbase partner for stablecoin payments in AI protocol

Google (NASDAQ:GOOGL) and Coinbase Global (NASDAQ:COIN) have joined forces to integrate stablecoin payments into AP2, a new open-source artificial intelligence (AI) payments protocol.

Developed in close collaboration with Coinbase, Google’s AP2 enables AI applications and agents to autonomously send and receive payments using both traditional methods and stablecoins. The AP2 system aims to establish a universal, secure, compliant, and flexible payment language for both legacy financial rails and emerging digital assets.

Ultimately, this will enable AI agents to conduct financial transactions in applications like personal shopping or financial advising, without human intervention, a significant step toward an AI economy powered by digital payments.

The initiative extends beyond Google and Coinbase, including the Ethereum Foundation and over 60 other companies from both the crypto and traditional finance sectors, such as Salesforce (NYSE:CRM), American Express (NYSE:AXP) and Etsy.

This partnership ensures the payment infrastructure supports stablecoins and integrates with Coinbase’s existing AI-driven crypto payment system, positioning Coinbase centrally in Google’s efforts to merge AI with digital money, capitalizing on the growing adoption and interest in stablecoins.

Bullish secures New York BitLicense

Bullish has secured a BitLicense from the New York State Department of Financial Services, a key regulatory approval allowing the company’s US entity to legally provide cryptocurrency spot trading and custody services to institutional clients and advanced traders in New York State. This regulatory milestone in New York, a major financial hub, is critical for Bullish’s full-scale launch and expansion in the US market. The company is one of a handful of crypto firms licensed under this rigorous state framework, joining firms like Gemini and Paxos.

The BitLicense will enable Bullish to offer regulated, institutional-grade digital asset services in New York, increasing access for hedge funds, asset managers, banks, and other institutional players.

CEO Tom Farley emphasized the company’s commitment to regulatory compliance and building trusted infrastructure. President Chris Tyrer highlighted that clear regulation drives responsible market evolution and institutional engagement.

Metaplanet expands to US with new Bitcoin income unit

Metaplanet (TSE:3350,OTCQX:MTPLF) has established a Miami-based subsidiary to oversee its Bitcoin income generation business, following the close of a US$1.44 billion global equity sale earlier this month.

The new arm, Metaplanet Income, received an initial US$15 million capital injection and will focus on derivatives trading and related yield strategies separate from the company’s core treasury holdings.

Upsized from an original plan of 180 million shares to 385 million due to strong demand, the offering raised ¥212.9 billion in gross proceeds. Funds are earmarked for further Bitcoin purchases through October as well as expansion of income products that have generated steady revenue since late 2024. Management says the new US subsidiary will not materially affect 2025 earnings but strengthens its long-term operational footprint.

Saudi Arabia doubles down on digital payments with Google and Ant

Saudi Arabia is accelerating its financial technology ambitions through new partnerships with Google Pay and Ant International, its central bank confirmed at the Money20/20 conference in Riyadh. Google Pay will now integrate with the country’s mada network, allowing cardholders to manage payments through Google Wallet.

Meanwhile, a collaboration with Ant International aims to enable cross-border QR code payments linking mada with Alipay+ by 2026. The push is expected to benefit small and mid-sized merchants.
