Canada P2P crypto activity falls as student permit numbers decline

Canada’s P2P crypto activity fell from a 650,000 monthly peak alongside declining student permits, according to a new Chainalysis study.

  • Canada's peer-to-peer (P2P) crypto activity has declined from a peak in spring 2024, correlating with a significant drop in international student permits.
  • Chainalysis noted this association, suggesting immigrants use crypto for cheaper cross-border money transfers, though causality is not established.
  • Payment providers are exploring stablecoin settlements for remittances, but challenges remain in local currency conversion and liquidity.
