OTC Desk
Sell Bitcoin for Cash in Canada
Cash2Crypto buys Bitcoin directly from Canadians through our over-the-counter desk. Deal with a FINTRAC-registered broker, get a firm quote before you commit, and settle without signing up for an exchange.
Selling is handled by our OTC desk, not at our ATMs — our machines are currently buy-only. Contact the desk and we will walk you through current rates and settlement options.
How to Sell Bitcoin in Canada Without an Exchange
Most Canadians looking to exchange Bitcoin for cash start at a crypto exchange, then run into account verification, withdrawal limits, and holds that can take days to clear. Selling over the counter removes those steps: you deal with a person, agree a price up front, and settle directly.
A firm quote before you commit
You get a real price for your Bitcoin before anything moves. No slippage between what you saw and what you received, and no surprise spread applied after the fact.
No exchange account required
You do not need to open, fund, or verify an exchange account to sell to us. The whole transaction runs through our desk.
A registered Canadian counterparty
Cash2Crypto is a FINTRAC-registered Money Service Business operating out of Edmonton. You know exactly who is on the other side of the trade.

White Glove ServiceFrequently Asked Questions
Can I sell Bitcoin for cash at a Cash2Crypto ATM?
Not at the moment. Our ATMs are currently buy-only, meaning you can use cash to purchase Bitcoin but cannot cash out at the machine. Selling is handled through our over-the-counter desk instead, which lets us quote you a firm price and settle larger amounts than an ATM could hold.
How do I sell Bitcoin in Canada?
Contact our OTC desk with the amount you want to sell. We confirm it fits our current parameters, quote you a firm rate, and explain the settlement options and timing. Once you accept, you send Bitcoin from your own wallet and we settle to you using the agreed method.
What is the best way to sell Bitcoin in Canada?
It depends on size. Small amounts are usually simplest on a mainstream exchange. For larger amounts, selling over the counter avoids exchange withdrawal limits and holds, gives you a firm price agreed in advance, and puts a named person on the other side of the trade.
Do I need an exchange account to sell to Cash2Crypto?
No. You do not need to open, fund, or verify an account with any crypto exchange. The transaction runs entirely through our desk.
Is there a minimum amount of Bitcoin I can sell?
Our desk works best for meaningful trade sizes. Contact us with the amount you have in mind and we will tell you straight away whether it fits, and point you elsewhere if it does not.
Where in Canada do you buy Bitcoin from?
We work with sellers across Canada. Our office is in Edmonton and we can meet in person locally, but most trades settle remotely, so we regularly work with sellers in Toronto, Vancouver, Calgary, Saskatoon and elsewhere.
What identification do I need to sell Bitcoin?
As a FINTRAC-registered Money Service Business we are required to verify identity for every trade. Your advisor will tell you exactly what is needed before you send anything.
How long does it take to get paid?
Timing depends on the settlement method and the size of the trade. We confirm expected timing as part of your quote, before you commit to anything.
