Buy Ethereum Cryptocurrency

You may hear the words Ethereum and Ether used interchangeably, but there is a distinction. Ethereum is the blockchain network, while Ether, commonly represented by ETH, is its native cryptocurrency.

The good news is that you don’t need to own one full ETH.

Choose the amount of Canadian dollars you want to spend and our calculator will show you the corresponding amount of ETH based on current market pricing. From there, create your MyBTC.ca account or sign in, complete the required verification and finish your purchase.

Your ETH will be sent to the Ethereum wallet address you provide.

MyBTC.ca has been helping Canadians access cryptocurrency since way back in 2016. Our non-custodial approach means we facilitate your purchase and deliver your ETH directly to your chosen wallet rather than requiring you to store it with us. Repeat after us: “Not your keys, not your coins.”

How to Buy Ethereum in Canada

Buying Ether doesn’t need to turn into an afternoon project. Here’s how it works at MyBTC.ca:

1. Open your free MyBTC.ca account.
2. Complete identity verification.
3. Decide how much ETH you’d like to purchase.
4. Select your Canadian payment method.
5. Enter your compatible Ethereum wallet address.

For many customers, Interac e-Transfer is a natural choice because it connects the buying process with everyday Canadian banking. Other options, including Bill Payment and Bank Wire, can accommodate different purchasing needs and larger transaction sizes.

Where to Buy Ethereum in Canada

A search for where to buy Ethereum in Canada produces plenty of choices. What happens after you click buy is just as important.

MyBTC.ca was built for Canadians and has been operating since 2016. You can fund purchases in Canadian dollars, choose from several familiar payment methods and send the ETH you purchase directly to a wallet you control. You can also send ETH directly from MyBTC.ca to merchants when making purchases.

No need to convert your CAD elsewhere first. No need to leave your ETH sitting on our platform. MyBTC.ca is non-custodial. That means we’ll never store your crypto on our platform, leaving you in full control.

This all means that we’re here to help you purchase Ethereum, not to become the permanent home for your cryptocurrency. Once your transaction is completed, your ETH is delivered to the destination wallet you’ve selected.

For Canadians who value direct ownership and control over their digital assets, that’s an important distinction.

Choosing an Ethereum Wallet

One important step comes before you hit buy: deciding where your ETH is going.

An Ethereum wallet lets you receive and manage ETH and other compatible digital assets. Software wallets can be useful for convenient everyday access, while hardware wallets provide an offline storage option commonly chosen by people holding cryptocurrency for longer periods.

Your wallet choice can also depend on what you plan to do with ETH. Some Ethereum users simply hold it. Others interact with decentralized applications, NFTs, tokens, staking services or DeFi protocols.

Whatever you choose, make sure the wallet supports Ethereum and carefully verify the receiving address before submitting your order. Blockchain transactions aren’t something you want to send to the wrong address.

What Can You Do With ETH?

This is where Ethereum starts to separate itself from many other digital assets.

ETH can be held as an investment, transferred between compatible wallets or used to pay network transaction fees commonly called gas fees. It also plays a central role in Ethereum-based smart contracts and decentralized applications.

Ethereum’s technology has helped enable everything from decentralized exchanges and lending protocols to stablecoins, NFTs, blockchain games and tokenized assets.

You don’t need to use any of those applications to own ETH, of course. But understanding what Ethereum was built to do helps explain why ETH has become one of the world’s leading cryptocurrencies.

Selling Ethereum in Canada

Already have Ether that you’d like to turn back into Canadian dollars?

You can also sell Ethereum in Canada with MyBTC.ca.

Start a sell transaction, follow the instructions to send your ETH to the provided address and select an available Canadian payout option. Once your transaction is processed, the proceeds can be paid out in Canadian dollars directly to your bank account.

Buying and selling are both available, so you can return when the time is right for you.

Curious About Ethereum? Go Deeper

Ethereum began with an ambitious idea: what if a blockchain could do more than transfer digital currency?

Proposed by Vitalik Buterin in 2013 and launched in 2015, Ethereum introduced a programmable blockchain where developers could create and run smart contracts. Those self-executing programs became the foundation for an enormous range of decentralized applications and helped reshape what people thought blockchain technology could accomplish.

Ethereum has continued to change since then. One of its biggest transformations came when the network transitioned from Proof of Work to Proof of Stake, changing how transactions are validated and new blocks are added to the blockchain.

Ether sits at the centre of that technology. ETH is used for network fees, transferred as a digital asset and can participate in Ethereum’s staking model.

There’s a lot more under the hood. Our complete How to Buy Ethereum (ETH) in Canada guide explores Ethereum’s history, ETH, smart contracts, Proof of Stake, wallets, security, Canadian payment options and how to buy and sell Ether through MyBTC.ca.
