Cryptocurrency Adoption in Canada

This research project aims to help the Bank of Canada understand how people in Canada are using cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin. Cryptocurrencies are becoming more popular, but their prices often have large fluctuations, which can make them risky to use. By studying survey data, the project will explore how Canadians include cryptocurrencies in their investments and spending. The research will focus on organizing and analyzing survey data to get a clearer picture of cryptocurrency use in Canada. The expected benefit for the Bank of Canada is better information about the risks and opportunities that cryptocurrencies present, which will help them create better policies to keep the financial system stable and secure.
