15 Canadian Crypto ETFs in 2025
These Canadian crypto ETFs offer investors exposure to popular cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin, Ether, Solana and XRP as demand for crypto investment options grows in Canada.

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.
