Bitcoin ETFs were launched in Canada in February 2021, making them the first in the world.

Canadian bitcoin ETFs have seen C$578 million (about R7.3 billion) in net outflows so far through 13 December, according to data compiled by TD Securities.
Crypto ETFs are the only ETF category in Canada to see outflows this year, while US bitcoin ETFs have seen a $36 billion (nearly R650 billion) in inflows through 16 December.
