Why Canada?
Production Ready
International forecasts of global blockchain market size vary widely from USD $57.6 billion by 2025 to over $176 billion in business value by the same year. The growth and maturity of the blockchain industry in Canada is set to scale as the blockchain industry matures and diversifies from cryptocurrency to applications in supply-chain real estate and healthcare.
This expansion will disrupt old processes and continue to capture the imaginations of governments entrepreneurs and the public. The financial services and fintech sectors are expected to lead blockchain development.
Increasing Familiarity
A vibrant blockchain ecosystem is anticipated in the coming years. Despite these positive advances and a rich history of blockchain development Canada’s global blockchain footprint remains small. Industry consultants fear that Canada risks losing its early advantage due to a lack of investment and regulatory uncertainty.
Canada’s blockchain ecosystem is currently made up of over 280 companies employing over 1600 workers. About 60% of Canadian blockchain firms offer services related to Cryptocurrencies Finance & Fintech or Blockchain Consulting. Emerging sectors in blockchain include culture and education.
