Best on-ramps in Canada
Editorial intro
On-ramps are a critical exit valve for Canadian retail crypto users who hit the CSA's altcoin annual caps on their exchange of choice — funnel CAD through an on-ramp directly into a self-custody wallet and you escape the cap entirely (at the cost of higher fees). Interac e-Transfer support is the make-or-break feature. MoonPay added it 2023; Ramp added it 2024. Most other providers still require card rails at 3.5%+.
