Availability for Canada residents
As of 2 June 2026, Gemini is not available to residents of Canada. Gemini announced in autumn 2024 that it would close all Canadian customer accounts, giving users a 90 day window from 30 September 2024 to withdraw, with closure effective 31 December 2024. The platform has not returned to the Canadian market as of this date.
Gemini set the exit in the context of Canada's tightened oversight of crypto trading platforms. In 2023 the Canadian Securities Administrators (CSA) required trading platforms serving Canadians to give a binding undertaking and pursue registration, and several global platforms left Canada around the same time.
Crypto remains legal in Canada. Trading platforms that serve Canadians are overseen by the Canadian Securities Administrators and the provincial securities regulators, and must register with the Financial Transactions and Reports Analysis Centre of Canada (FINTRAC) as money services businesses. Because Gemini is not available to Canadian residents, this page does not show a compare available exchanges module for Canada.
What this means for residents of Canada
Canadian residents can no longer open or hold a Gemini account, and anyone who held one was asked to complete withdrawals before the end of 2024. Contact Gemini support for any residual balance questions.

How crypto is taxed in Canada
How crypto is taxed in Canada is administered by the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA), which generally treats crypto as a commodity, so disposals can give rise to capital gains or business income depending on the activity. See the Canada crypto tax page and confirm with a qualified professional before filing. This is general information, not tax advice (as of 2 June 2026).
Gemini is not available to Canada residents, so this page does not link the Gemini platform here. If you want a platform that genuinely operates for Canada residents, start with the exchanges that are available there and verify the current position before acting.
