What does Argent Crypto do?

Are there risks to investing in cryptocurrencies?
Like any investment instrument, there is always a degree of risk. Additionally, factors such as online security, limited insurance, volatility, and fluctuating regulations that are unique characteristics to crypto that add additional risk considerations that newcomers can find daunting – that’s why we’re here.
Are cryptocurrencies legal? Are they legal in Canada?
Yes. There are no legal restrictions to buying, trading, selling, or using cryptocurrencies.
If you move greater than $10,000 CAD in individual transactions, you may be subject to FINTRAC compliance requirements.
Will you help me invest in tokens and ICOs?
Argent Crypto will work with you on a personalized basis to develop an action plan that suits your goals. While we cannot manage your funds directly, we can advise on projects such as Initial Coin Offerings (ICOs).
What does it mean to invest in cryptocurrencies?
Buying and trading cryptocurrencies is very similar to foreign exchange trading (known as FOREX). Investors purchase cryptocurrency tokens, such as Bitcoin or Ethereum, using their national currency (like Canadian dollars), and in exchange, they receive an equal sum in the chosen cryptocurrency. Unlike stocks or bonds, cryptocurrencies are generally fungible, meaning you can use them to purchase goods and services without having to sell them again. In addition, cryptocurrencies can be “held” directly in a digital wallet that only you control, contrasting traditional stocks where they would be held by a third party in a brokerage account.
Do I have to pay taxes on cryptocurrency investments?
Yes. While the CRA (Canada Revenue Agency) has not provided specialized policy governing cryptocurrency, any divestment (buying, selling, or trading) is considered a taxable event. For peace of mind, Argent Crypto has several professional partnerships with tax firms that specialize in cryptocurrencies to provide detailed guidance.
