About Ethereum
What you are buying
Ethereum is the network that turned blockchains into computers. Where Bitcoin records who owns what, Ethereum also runs programs, called smart contracts, that move money by rules anyone can inspect. Stablecoins such as USDC, most decentralized finance, NFTs, and thousands of tokens run on it or on the layer-2 networks built on top of it. Ether (ETH) is the coin that pays for all of that activity and secures the network.
People buy ETH to hold the second-largest crypto asset, to use applications built on Ethereum, to pay for transactions on the network and its layer-2s, and to stake it and earn network rewards. Since the network moved to proof of stake in 2022, ETH is also one of the assets you can stake from a wallet you control.
Buy Ethereum from Coin Nerds, or sell it to us, online and across branch counters. Every purchase settles at the live market rate on this page and is delivered to your own wallet within minutes of your payment clearing, ready to use, hold, or stake.
The full Ethereum guide- Ticker
- ETH. One ether divides into 1,000,000,000 gwei (the unit transaction fees are quoted in) and 10^18 wei.
- Launched
- July 2015, proposed by Vitalik Buterin and built by a founding team including Gavin Wood and Joseph Lubin.
- Supply
- No hard cap. New ETH is issued to stakers, and a portion of every transaction fee is burned, so net issuance can be near zero or negative depending on network use.
- Consensus
- Proof of stake since The Merge in September 2022: validators lock ETH to secure the network instead of spending energy on mining.
- Ecosystem
- Home of smart contracts, stablecoins, DeFi, and NFTs, with layer-2 networks such as Arbitrum, Optimism, Base, and Polygon settling to it.
- Custody
- You hold ETH with a private key. Coin Nerds delivers to the wallet address you provide, so the keys are yours from the first minute.

Why the CAD to ETH rate moves
Ethereum trades continuously against the dollar and against every other currency, so the CAD to ETH figure on this page changes second to second with the market. Coin Nerds quotes from the live market rather than a rate set once a day, which is why the number here moves while you read. The figure you accept in the widget is the figure your order settles at.
Converting CAD to ETH in person
The same conversion runs across the counter at a Coin Nerds branch, including Mississauga (Ontario, Canada), Salt Lake City (Utah, United States), Lahore (Pakistan). Bring government-issued ID and the wallet you want the coins delivered to, and a person handles the trade with you at the same live rate. In every other major city, our agents arrange in-person cash trades over chat or by phone, in any amount, at any time.
Large CAD to ETH conversions
Orders of $50,000 and above go through the OTC desk, where the price is locked once it is quoted rather than moving while the order fills, and the desk is reachable over chat, phone, and email. Below that, the widget and the app handle any size from the $100 CAD minimum up.
