Canada is in the top 20 in the world in 2023 when it comes to crypto adoption based on transaction volume. This is according to estimates based on web traffic towards individual websites that are used to perform cryptocurrency transactions and then compared for 146 countries of website traffic origin. Notable for Canada is the high ranking of decentralized websites, especially for retail. The source does not explain why this is the case, although it might have to do with the NFT craze that still existed in the early months of 2022.

Supplementary notes
All figures have been collected by Statista.
The source explains that its index is calculated using five different sub-indices, which are estimated using an individual country's cryptocurrency transaction volume in different situations. These estimates are based off web traffic patterns from individual websites that are used for such transactions and/or protocols.
Several changes were made to the source's methodology over the years. In 2022, the main change involved the inclusion of Decentralized Finance (DeFi) transaction volume. Centralized and Decentralized sub-indices both count equally to the overall index.
