AI ETFs in Canada: How investors can  ride the AI waveArtificial intelligence-themed exchange traded funds (AI ETFs) are the new crypto—if you rank investing topics as to what family, friends and neighbours (even if they’re not self-directed investors) are chatting about. Blame Nvidia. Semiconductor titan Nvidia experienced extraordinary growth, soaring 171% year-to-date to a $3.24 billion market capitalization as of June 20, 2024.

Mission digital: How Coinbase is reshaping Canada’s crypto landscapeIf you don’t follow crypto, you may have missed this news in April: Coinbase became the largest cryptocurrency exchange to be registered as a restricted dealer in Canada, as well as the first international crypto exchange to receive this status.

Coinbase Global Inc., based in the U.S., is a publicly traded company that has more than eight million users and operates in over 100 countries. Coinbase formally launched in Canada in August 2023, though it has offered services here since 2015. For the past few years, the company has been working with Canadian securities regulators to develop a crypto regulatory framework, and to ensure its platform is compliant with strict rules around investment limits, segregating customer assets, trading on margin, and more.
