About Legit Crypto Check

We check crypto trading platforms against Canada’s securities regulators, and tell you plainly which ones are registered to serve Canadians and which aren’t.

Who runs this site

Legit Crypto Check is an independent publisher. No crypto platform, exchange or token issuer owns it or has a stake in it, and none of them sees our pages before they go up. We’re not connected to the Canadian Securities Administrators, CIRO or any provincial regulator.

We’re answerable to readers through our method. Every figure has a source and a date, and every mistake we find goes in the corrections log below.

How we review

We start with the regulators’ register, then read each platform’s fee schedule, terms and help centre. The full routine, including what we don’t do, is on our how we check page.

How we make money

Some platforms run affiliate or referral programs that pay publishers when a reader signs up. If we join one, every page that links to that platform will say so in its “Who pays us” line at the top, naming the platform and how it pays us. As of November 2026 we have no such deals, so no link on this site earns us anything.

A platform that pays us still gets its weak points listed. A platform that doesn’t pay us still gets covered if it’s registered. And we never take money from unregistered platforms.

Corrections

If we get something wrong, we fix it and say so here. We check every report against the regulators’ register and the platform’s own pages, and fix confirmed errors within 48 hours.
