Our Story

Founded in 2013, Instacoin is one of Canada's first and largest Bitcoin ATM networks. We launched with a simple conviction: buying and selling cryptocurrency should be fast, private, and available to everyone — no bank account required.

Over more than a decade we have grown from a single machine to a coast-to-coast network of over 200 ATMs, serving hundreds of thousands of Canadians across every province. Through every market cycle, our focus has remained the same — providing a safe, simple, and reliable on-ramp to the digital economy.

Today Instacoin supports nine cryptocurrencies — Bitcoin, Ethereum, USDT, USDC, Solana, Dogecoin, Litecoin, Bitcoin Cash, and Ethereum Classic — and continues to expand its footprint and product offering to meet the evolving needs of Canadian crypto users.

Our Mission & Values

Everything we build is guided by a commitment to accessibility, security, and transparency in Canada's crypto ecosystem.

Accessibility

No bank account, no problem. Our ATMs let anyone buy or sell crypto with Canadian cash in minutes, removing the barriers that keep people out of the digital economy.

Security & Privacy

Instacoin never takes custody of your crypto. Transactions go directly to your own wallet, so you stay in control of your digital assets at all times.

Trust & Compliance

Licensed as a Money Services Business under FINTRAC, Instacoin operates to the highest regulatory standards to protect customers and the integrity of Canada's financial system.
