Bitcoin traded at C$108,140.63 in Kitco’s Canadian-dollar crypto table on November 4, 2026, and the ten assets that carry both a price and a market cap in that table add up to roughly C$2.27 trillion. Bitcoin alone accounts for C$1.56 trillion of it. Ethereum follows at C$278.35 billion, with Tether third at C$178.18 billion.
Kitco’s table was updated on November 4 and lists eleven assets: Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), Litecoin (LTC), BNB (BNB), XRP (XRP), Tether (USDT), Bitcoin Cash (BCH), IOTA (IOTA), Solana (SOL), Uniswap (UNI) and Chainlink (LINK). IOTA appears on the list, but the figures we could confirm cover the other ten. The ten-coin group below answers the question Canadians keep typing into search boxes: which cryptocurrencies matter most in Canada right now, and what do they cost in Canadian dollars?
The numbers arrive during a busy week for the sector. Traders have been digesting US midterm results and the aftermath of the $6.3 billion Binance hack, both covered in our report on the crypto dip after the midterms. This analysis walks through the Kitco data, sorts it by market value, explains what each tier of coins does, and flags where Canadian stablecoin rules stand. One caveat up front: no single authoritative source has published a Canada-specific ranked top 10 for this date, so the ordering here is our own sort of Kitco’s figures, not an official ranking.

The Kitco Table: Ten Canadian-Dollar Prices From November 4
Kitco quotes every asset in Canadian dollars, which strips out the mental currency conversion that US-centric price sites force on Canadian buyers. The table below reproduces the confirmed price and market capitalization for the ten assets, ordered by market cap. IOTA is listed by Kitco, but we do not have a confirmed price or market cap for it, so it sits outside the table.
| Rank by market cap | Asset | Price (CAD) | Market cap (CAD) |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Bitcoin (BTC) | C$108,140.63 | C$1.56T |
| 2 | Ethereum (ETH) | C$3,184.08 | C$278.35B |
| 3 | Tether (USDT) | C$1.396 | C$178.18B |
| 4 | BNB (BNB) | C$970.64 | C$91.33B |
| 5 | XRP (XRP) | C$1.774 | C$80.41B |
| 6 | Solana (SOL) | C$128.84 | C$54.41B |
| 7 | Chainlink (LINK) | C$15.25 | C$8.37B |
| 8 | Bitcoin Cash (BCH) | C$378.53 | C$5.45B |
| 9 | Uniswap (UNI) | C$10.04 | C$4.35B |
| 10 | Litecoin (LTC) | C$74.73 | C$4.16B |
Source: Kitco Canadian-dollar crypto table, updated November 4, 2026. The rank column is our sort by market capitalization.
Two things jump out immediately. First, the spread between the top and bottom of the list spans more than two orders of magnitude in market value, from C$1.56 trillion down to C$4.16 billion. Second, price per coin tells you almost nothing about size. BNB trades at C$970.64 and XRP at C$1.774, yet their market caps sit within about 14% of each other. Readers who sort by sticker price end up with a misleading picture.
How We Ranked the Ten, and What Stays Unconfirmed
The headline subject, a top 10 cryptocurrencies list for Canada on November 4, comes from Kitco’s Canadian-dollar table, and the figures above are Kitco’s. The ranking is ours. We used market capitalization because it is the one measure the table gives for every coin and because it matches how most market-data sites order their lists. A ranking by trading volume or by Canadian exchange popularity would reshuffle the middle of the table, and we do not have confirmed data for either.
Forbes Advisor Canada also runs a top-10 cryptocurrency guide for Canadian investors, and our review of the page shows it is an editorial list rather than a straight market-cap sort. Its picks do not line up one-for-one with Kitco’s table. That difference is worth keeping in mind. A market-data table answers what is biggest. An editorial guide answers what a publisher thinks suits a certain kind of investor. Neither one is investment advice, and neither one confirms a single canonical Canadian top 10.
Three items remain unconfirmed in our research. We have no authoritative source for a Canada-specific ranked list. We have no 24-hour change figures from Kitco for the date. And we have nothing for IOTA’s price or market cap. Where a figure is missing, we say so rather than fill the gap.
Bitcoin at C$108,140.63 Still Holds Two-Thirds of the Ten
Add up the ten market caps and you get about C$2,265 billion. Bitcoin’s C$1,560 billion slice is 68.87% of that. Ethereum takes 12.29%, and Tether takes 7.87%. The top three together hold 89.03% of the group, which leaves seven other assets to share the last 10.97%.
| Asset | Market cap (CAD) | Share of the ten-asset total |
|---|---|---|
| Bitcoin (BTC) | C$1.56T | 68.87% |
| Ethereum (ETH) | C$278.35B | 12.29% |
| Tether (USDT) | C$178.18B | 7.87% |
| BNB (BNB) | C$91.33B | 4.03% |
| XRP (XRP) | C$80.41B | 3.55% |
| Solana (SOL) | C$54.41B | 2.40% |
| Chainlink (LINK) | C$8.37B | 0.37% |
| Bitcoin Cash (BCH) | C$5.45B | 0.24% |
| Uniswap (UNI) | C$4.35B | 0.19% |
| Litecoin (LTC) | C$4.16B | 0.18% |
Source: our calculation from Kitco’s November 4, 2026 market capitalization figures. Shares are rounded to two decimals, and the total covers only these ten assets, not the whole crypto market.
The concentration matters for anyone building a Canadian portfolio or a pricing feed. Bitcoin’s market cap is 5.6 times Ethereum’s and roughly 8.8 times Tether’s. A single Bitcoin buys about 34 Ether at the quoted prices. When Bitcoin moves a few percent, the dollar value of that move dwarfs the entire market cap of the four smallest coins here (Chainlink, Bitcoin Cash, Uniswap and Litecoin), which together total C$22.33 billion, or 0.99% of the group.
Ethereum at C$3,184.08 and the Case for Programmable Money
Ethereum ranks second with a C$278.35 billion market cap, and it is the asset most relevant to software developers. Where Bitcoin set out to be digital money, Ethereum set out to be a platform. Co-founder Vitalik Buterin put the idea bluntly in an Ethereum Foundation presentation: “So what is Ethereum? First, Ethereum is the world computer.”
The design goal behind that line is spelled out in a 2015 post on the Ethereum blog. Buterin described the core idea as “a blockchain with a built-in Turing-complete programming language, allowing users to build any kind of applications on top.” That sentence explains why Ethereum, Solana and a handful of other smart-contract chains attract developers while Bitcoin and Litecoin mostly attract holders and payment users.
A third line, from a 2014 post on the Ethereum blog, captures the philosophy shared by most of the assets in the table: “What is needed is to replace trusted entities with systems of cryptographic proof.” It is a useful lens for the regulatory story later in this piece, because Canada’s stablecoin rules take the opposite approach for fiat-backed tokens and put a named, registered issuer back at the center.
Pricing detail for developers: Ethereum’s C$3,184.08 price is about 2.94% of Bitcoin’s C$108,140.63. If your application quotes gas fees or token amounts in Canadian dollars, that ratio gives you a quick sanity check against a live feed.
Tether at C$1.396: Why a Stablecoin Sits Third
Tether (USDT) holds the third-largest market cap in the group at C$178.18 billion, ahead of BNB, XRP and Solana. Its price of C$1.396 is the clearest reminder of why a Canadian-dollar table is useful. A token built to track one US dollar shows up at about C$1.40, which implies a USD/CAD rate near 1.40 on the day if Tether held its peg. That is our inference from the quote, not a Kitco statement.
Stablecoins behave differently from every other asset in the table. They do not aim to appreciate. They serve as settlement rails, a parking spot between trades, and a way to move value across exchanges. USDT’s market cap equals about 64% of Ethereum’s, so the token that is supposed to sit still has become one of the largest assets on the board.
That scale is one reason Ottawa is writing rules for the category, which we cover in the regulation section below. For a Canadian developer who handles USDT in an app, the pending federal framework is worth reading before the consultation closes.
BNB, XRP and Solana: The Mid-Cap Tier
Three assets share the middle of the table. BNB (C$970.64, C$91.33 billion), XRP (C$1.774, C$80.41 billion) and Solana (C$128.84, C$54.41 billion) together account for about 9.98% of the ten-asset total. Each serves a different purpose. BNB is the token tied to the Binance ecosystem. XRP targets payments and settlement. Solana is a high-throughput smart-contract chain that competes directly with Ethereum for application developers.
Canadians weighing Solana can find a buying walkthrough on Finder’s page, Solana price and where to buy SOL in Canada. We have not verified that guide’s platform recommendations, so treat it as a starting point for comparing fees and not as an endorsement.
The BNB position deserves a second look in the current news cycle. BNB’s value is tied to the fortunes of an ecosystem that just absorbed a major security incident. We do not draw a price conclusion from that, and Kitco’s table does not either. We simply flag that the exchange-linked token carries a risk profile the other coins in this tier do not share.
Chainlink, Bitcoin Cash, Uniswap and Litecoin: The Sub-C$10 Billion Group
The bottom four assets run from Chainlink at C$8.37 billion down to Litecoin at C$4.16 billion. Their prices are Chainlink C$15.25, Bitcoin Cash C$378.53, Uniswap C$10.04 and Litecoin C$74.73. Together they hold under 1% of the group’s value, yet they cover very different jobs.
- Chainlink (LINK): an oracle network, meaning it feeds off-chain data such as prices into smart contracts. Developers who build lending or trading apps often need that data.
- Bitcoin Cash (BCH): a Bitcoin fork pitched at low-cost payments.
- Uniswap (UNI): the governance token of a decentralized exchange protocol.
- Litecoin (LTC): one of the older Bitcoin-style payment coins, quoted here at C$74.73.
The odd one out in Kitco’s list is IOTA, which appears in the table but not in our confirmed price data. We leave it out of the numbers rather than guess. If you track it, check Kitco’s live page for the current quote.
The Market Backdrop on November 4
Several outlets framed the day in broadly upbeat terms. Mitrade’s daily wrap ran under the headline Crypto Market Today, Nov. 4: Bitcoin Stages Sharp Recovery as Wall Street Rallies and Regulatory Hopes Return. Coin Edition ran a gainers list titled Top 10 Crypto Gainers Today: VVV, ZEC, and PUMP Lead the Rally. TokenPost reported that Bitway jumped 13.46% as 80 of 90 top crypto assets rose.
Read together, those headlines describe a broad risk-on session in which most large assets rose. We are relying on the headlines here and not on the underlying data, so we do not quote percentage moves for any Kitco-listed coin. The takeaway for Canadian readers is simple. The Kitco snapshot you see above captured a recovering market, not a falling one.
That recovery follows a rough stretch for exchange confidence. In our earlier piece on Binance’s $4.72B net outflow, we tracked how much money left the platform after the hack. Prices in the Kitco table reflect the market as a whole, but the plumbing underneath, meaning where people hold their coins, has become a live question.
Canada’s Stablecoin Rules: Draft Regulations and Timeline
With Tether in third place by market value, Canada’s stablecoin framework is the most concrete policy story attached to this table. Our research, which draws on the Canada Gazette notice and several law-firm summaries, points to the following sequence. The Stablecoin Act received Royal Assent on March 26, 2026, but legal summaries say its provisions had not yet come into force by late October. Proposed Stablecoin Regulations were published in the Canada Gazette on October 24, 2026.
| Item | Reported detail |
|---|---|
| Royal Assent for the Stablecoin Act | March 26, 2026 |
| Draft regulations published | Canada Gazette, October 24, 2026 |
| Public consultation | 60 days, comments reportedly due December 23, 2026 |
| Supervisor | Bank of Canada |
| Reserve backing | At least 1:1 with outstanding stablecoins, held as high-quality liquid assets with a Canadian custodian |
| Redemption | Generally within three business days |
| Redemption fee | Capped at 1% of the amount redeemed |
| Yield on holdings | Prohibited, with a limited exception for transaction-related rewards |
Source: Canada Gazette notice and legal summaries gathered in our research. Details are drawn from draft text and may change before the rules take effect.
Under the proposal, issuers that are not financial institutions would generally need to register with the Bank of Canada before issuing covered fiat-backed stablecoins in Canada. The Canadian Securities Administrators’ Staff Notice 21-333 continues to govern which value-referenced crypto assets trading platforms can offer to Canadian clients in the meantime, with requirements covering disclosure, reserve assets and redemption rights.
CoinDesk covered the draft on October 26 under a headline that points to the continued ban on yields, which matches the rest of our research. If the final rules keep that ban, Canadian platforms could not pay interest on stablecoin balances, which would change how exchanges and fintech apps market these tokens to retail users.
Exchange Risk and Custody for Canadian Buyers
A price table says nothing about where you keep the coins. Fees, custody arrangements and the absence of bank-style protections matter as much as the quote. Our guide on what to check before buying crypto covers the consumer-protection side, and the same logic applies north of the border.
Canadian buyers face a few specific considerations. Platforms that serve Canadian clients answer to provincial securities regulators, and the stablecoin rules above would add a federal layer for fiat-backed tokens. Canada also has a political backdrop that differs from the US one. American crypto interests spent heavily on the midterms, a story we examined in Crypto’s $200M midterm bet. Canadian regulators move on their own timetable, but cross-border platforms answer to both countries.
Practical steps hold regardless of which of the ten assets you buy. Confirm the platform’s registration status with your provincial regulator. Check whether it holds assets in segregated custody. Compare trading spreads and withdrawal fees, since a coin’s headline price on Kitco does not include what an exchange charges you to buy it. And keep long-term holdings off exchanges when you can.
What Builders Should Watch in the Kitco Data
For developers, a CAD price table is a spec document in disguise. Several details affect how you build a Canadian-facing app.
- Quote currency: Kitco prices in CAD, and USDT shows at C$1.396. If your app converts between USD and CAD, test against that kind of live pair and not a hardcoded rate.
- Precision: prices run from C$108,140.63 down to C$1.396, so a field that stores two decimals will round XRP and USDT badly. Three or more decimals suit low-priced assets.
- Unit scale: market caps arrive as strings such as C$1.56T and C$278.35B. Parse suffixes into numbers before you compare or sort.
- Oracle dependence: Chainlink’s C$8.37 billion market cap shows how much value sits behind the data feeds many contracts rely on.
- Stablecoin compliance: if the 1:1 reserve, three-business-day redemption and 1% fee cap survive consultation, apps that integrate fiat-backed tokens will need to check issuer registration status.
Security belongs on that list too. Our analysis of the EIP-7702 authorization sweep in the Binance hack shows how a smart-contract feature can turn into an attack path, and any team shipping wallet or exchange code on Ethereum should read it. More developer-focused coverage sits in our software category.
Why a Canadian-Dollar Lens Matters
Most crypto price pages default to US dollars. Canadian buyers then convert in their heads, and the error compounds when the number is as large as Bitcoin’s. At C$108,140.63 per coin, a one-cent slip in the exchange rate shifts the quote by roughly C$775 if the rate sits near 1.40. That is a back-of-the-envelope figure based on the USDT-implied rate, not a Kitco calculation.
Tax reporting makes the same point. Canadian holders report gains in Canadian dollars, so a CAD table that includes market caps and prices from a single timestamp, November 4 here, gives a cleaner reference than a patchwork of USD quotes converted at different moments. Check with a tax professional for your own case, since we do not cover tax treatment here.
Predictions: Five Things to Watch
These are our judgments based on the data above, not forecasts from Kitco or any named expert.
- Bitcoin’s dominance of the ten will stay above 60%. A 68.87% share leaves a wide cushion, and no mid-cap asset in the table is close to closing the gap.
- Stablecoin comments will shape the final text. With the consultation reportedly open until December 23, expect issuers, banks and exchanges to push on the 1% redemption cap and the yield ban.
- The yield ban will be the most contested rule. It directly affects how Canadian platforms compete for retail balances.
- Tether’s rank will draw regulatory attention. A C$178.18 billion token in third place is hard for any regulator to ignore, which makes its treatment under CSA guidance a story to follow.
- Exchange custody will matter more than coin choice. After the Binance hack, we expect Canadian buyers to ask where assets are held before they ask which coin to buy.
FAQ: Top Cryptocurrencies in Canada
What is the price of Bitcoin in Canadian dollars today?
Kitco’s Canadian-dollar table, updated November 4, 2026, lists Bitcoin at C$108,140.63 with a market cap of C$1.56 trillion. Prices move constantly, so check a live feed before you trade.
Which cryptocurrencies does Kitco list for Canada?
Kitco’s table lists Bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin, BNB, XRP, Tether, Bitcoin Cash, IOTA, Solana, Uniswap and Chainlink. We confirmed prices and market caps for ten of them. IOTA is listed without confirmed figures in our data.
Is there an official top 10 cryptocurrency list for Canada?
No. We found no single authoritative source that publishes a Canada-specific ranked top 10. Our ranking sorts Kitco’s market capitalization figures, and editorial lists such as the Forbes Advisor Canada guide use their own criteria.
How much is Ethereum worth in CAD?
Kitco shows Ethereum at C$3,184.08 and a market cap of C$278.35 billion on November 4, 2026, which makes it the second-largest asset in the ten-coin group.
Why does Tether trade at C$1.396?
Tether is designed to track one US dollar. Quoted in Canadian dollars, it shows the exchange rate, which implies roughly 1.40 CAD per USD if the peg held. That is our reading of the quote and not a Kitco statement.
What are Canada’s proposed stablecoin rules?
Draft regulations published in the Canada Gazette on October 24, 2026, would put the Bank of Canada in charge of supervising covered issuers. They call for reserves of at least 1:1, redemption generally within three business days, a 1% cap on redemption fees and a ban on yield payments, with a limited exception for transaction-related rewards. A 60-day consultation reportedly runs to December 23, 2026.
