Frequently Asked Questions
Yes. Ndax is a regulated crypto trading platform — registered as an investment dealer, a CIRO member, and listed on the CSA's roster of crypto platforms authorized to do business with Canadians.
There's no single best app for everyone. The right platform depends on its regulatory status, complete cost structure, CAD funding methods, supported assets, and how you plan to use it.
No app is universally best for beginners, but newcomers often benefit from one that's authorized in Canada, supports straightforward CAD funding, shows transaction details clearly, explains its fees, offers education, and provides accessible support. On Ndax, beginners commonly compare Simple Trade, education, Auto Invest, and access to 65+ assets.
It depends on the transaction. A platform with no stated commission may still include a spread or markup, while another charges a transparent trading fee. Compare the full path — funding, trading, spread, and withdrawal — not just the headline.
No. A crypto app usually provides access to an account on a custodial trading platform. A self-custody wallet gives you control of the private keys or recovery phrase yourself.
Crypto assets held by a CIPF member firm are not eligible for CIPF coverage, and crypto is not eligible for CDIC deposit insurance. CIPF may cover certain eligible cash or securities under its rules — that is not coverage for crypto.
