  In Ontario, gains from cryptocurrency trading are treated as taxable income. The Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) considers cryptocurrencies as commodities, which means that any profits made from trading them are subject to taxation. The tax rate will depend on your income bracket. It's important to keep track of your cryptocurrency transactions and report them accurately on your tax return to avoid any penalties or audits. Consult a tax professional for specific advice based on your situation.
