 <p class="is-style-lead">In 2023, the number of <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="crypto" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/crypto.html">crypto</a>currency owners in Canada decreased slightly, but the average holdings increased significantly.</p>
 <p>According to a report from the Ontario Securities Commission (OSC), 77% of respondents regret investing in crypto assets.</p>
 <p>While the number of Canadians able to provide a basic definition of cryptocurrency has grown from 51% in 2022 to 54% in 2023, only 34% of them now believe cryptocurrency “will play a key role in the future,” compared to 49% in 2022.</p>
 <p>However, despite the pessimism, 39% of respondents said their <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="crypto" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/crypto.html">crypto</a> portfolio was profitable compared to the initial investment, which is only slightly lower than in 2022 (46%). And the average value of such a portfolio has risen sharply from $52,975 last year to $82,998 this year.</p>

 <p>The negative sentiment of Canadians towards <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="crypto" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/crypto.html">crypto</a>currency was confirmed in the “Digital Canadian Dollar Public Consultation Report.”</p>
 <p>In addition, public consultations on the Central Bank of Canada’s digital currency (CBDC) initiative revealed a general negative attitude from Canadians.</p>
 <p>The Canadian central bank set out to define the place of CBDC in a world dominated by digital paper payments and credit cards. However, Canadian residents have demanded the introduction of rules requiring merchants to accept cash as payment.</p>

 <p>The majority of respondents advised the Bank of Canada to stop research and increase the capacity to issue a digital Canadian dollar. However, the public believes that their feedback will not be taken into account under the CBDC initiative.</p>
 <p>At the same time, Canada is ranked in the top spot for having seven spot Bitcoin ETFs worth a total of $2b in total <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="assets" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/assets.html">assets</a>. Data from the <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="report" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/report.html">report</a> shows that Canada and Europe are the main markets for spot Bitcoin ETFs, with the seven in Canada and 10 in Europe.</p>
