About Us
Canada has long been a leader in the rapidly evolving blockchain space, with significant contributions in the form of Ethereum, bitcoin mining, proactive crypto regulation, and the first Bitcoin ATMs and ETfs, to name a few. Despite all this, our great nation still lacks a dedicated media platform to showcase Canada’s blockchain industry, report national news, and tell our country’s blockchain story from a distinctly Canadian perspective.
Blockchain North fills this void as Canada’s first blockchain media company, through our commitment to informing, educating and inspiring Canadians about the blockchain revolution. Our content spans exclusive interviews with over 60 leading blockchain experts, daily news coverage and a weekly newsletter, media collaborations with key events like the Futurist Conference, and partnerships with top Canadian industry actors like the Canadian Blockchain Consortium, the Blockchain Research Institute, the Digital Assets Business Council, Hut 8, and Netcoins.
We’re Canadian, and we’re here to offer a Canadian perspective on national and global blockchain news and events. We shine a spotlight on Canadian blockchain leaders, innovators, advocates, established players, startups, communities, highlighting their contributions, and their economic impact within Canada and globally.
Join our community and make Blockchain North your go-to spot for all things blockchain. As Canada’s blockchain landscape evolves, Blockchain North is here to guide you through every breakthrough and innovation, helping to amplify the reach and potential of the blockchain ecosystem at home and globally.
Make sure to follow us on X, Instagram, TikTok, Linkedin, and subscribe to our weekly newsletter.
