How to buy Balancer in Canada
Is BAL a good investment in Canada?
Balancer (BAL) was introduced to the crypto market in June 2020, initially trading at $20 USD. However, its value declined to below $10 by mid July and recovered to over $10 by the end of the month. In August, prices rose to near $30 before experiencing a 42% drop to $17 and eventually reaching a high of $38.50 in September. Despite reaching almost $19 in November, Balancer ended the year at $13.74. The following year, Balancer's prices rose, doubling in January and reaching a peak of $58 in February. The next few months saw significant price fluctuations, reaching highs of $67 and $73 in March and April, respectively, followed by drops of over 30%. Balancer hit its all-time high of $76.68 on May 4, 2021, showing year-to-date gains of 460%. At that time, its market cap was around $500 million, outperforming 62% of the top 100 crypto assets in just one year. The year 2022 was bearish for most of the crypto market as many crypto tokens experienced drastic falls, BAL too was not an exception. It ended 2022 on around $5.3 mark and started to rise as 2023 started ranging from 6 to 7 USD early on 2023. The price predictions for this cryptocurrency token have forecasted an average of $22.59 USD for BAL in 2025 and a promising average value of $140.69 USD by the year 2030. But please bear in mind that this is by no means a buying signal or a financial advice. We strongly advise you to seek further information from crypto market experts and study the movements of the market before deciding to invest in Balancer tokens or any cryptocurrency tokens at all.
What is Balancer ?
Balancer is an automated market maker and decentralized exchange platform that was launched in March 2020 on the Ethereum blockchain network. This platform is designed as an open and accessible alternative to centralized exchanges and allows users to trade Ethereum (ETH) and assets based on the ERC-20 standard in a trustless and permissionless environment. An automated market maker is a decentralized exchange that uses a mathematical formula to price assets. In other words, unlike traditional exchanges that use an order book and bid/ask system, in automatic market makers, asset prices are determined based on a price algorithm.
Balancer allows users to exchange supported tokens, create a liquidity pool in order to add liquidity to the balancer protocol, and also invest in existing pools for yield farming of transactions. The Balancer cryptocurrency network has been developing since 2018 and its bronze version was launched in 2020. Since then, Balancer has become one of the top 15 decentralized exchange platforms on the Ethereum network in terms of transaction volume and one of the top 10 largest decentralized applications (DApps) running on the Ethereum network in terms of total asset value locked.

According to the CRA tax guide, you're not taxed when you buy crypto with fiat, like Canadian Dollars. This said, even though you don't pay tax, it's still really important you keep good records of your crypto transactions so you can keep a detailed account of your cost basis. This lets you calculate accurate crypto gains and losses when you later dispose of your crypto assets. But note that according to the above-mentioned tax guide, buying crypto with another crypto is subject to Capital Gains Tax. The CRA views this as a disposition, meaning you're getting rid of one asset. It doesn't matter that you're using it to buy another.
According to the CRA tax guideline, since cryptocurrency is viewed as a capital asset, when you dispose of it by selling it, swapping it, spending it or gifting it, you'll owe Capital Gains Tax on any profit you make. Crypto transactions which are considered a disposition in Canada according to the CRA include: Selling crypto for CAD, swapping crypto for another crypto, spending crypto on goods or services, gifting crypto. According to the mentioned guideline, you won't pay Capital Gains Tax on the entire proceeds when you sell, swap, spend or gift your cryptocurrency, but only the profits from it. Also note that you'll only pay Capital Gains Tax on half your net capital gain each financial year in Canada.
There is no official minimum amount to buy Balancer (BAL) tokens. The minimum order size required to buy BAL tokens in accordance to our exchange's terms and conditions would be $10 USD.
According to the CRA tax guide, you should maintain the following records on your cryptocurrency transactions: the date of the transactions, the receipts of purchase or transfer of cryptocurrency, the value of the cryptocurrency in Canadian dollars at the time of the transaction, the digital wallet records and cryptocurrency addresses, a description of the transaction and the other party (even if it is just their cryptocurrency address), the exchange records, accounting and legal costs, the software costs related to managing your tax affairs.
To keep your BAL crypto investment safe, you should follow these best practices: 1. Use a hardware wallet or a software wallet that provides robust security features to store your BAL tokens. 2. Enable 2FA on your wallet or exchange account to add an extra layer of security to your investment. 3. Regularly update your wallet software to ensure you have the latest security features and patches. 4. Store backup copies of your seed phrase or private key in a safe place to protect against loss or theft. In addition to external wallets, our exchange also has an internal wallet for you to store your cryptocurrency tokens after purchase. A key benefit of using the wallet on our platform is that if you aim to buy and sell your BAL cryptocurrency on our exchange, the speed of the transaction will be quicker when using the internal wallet.
