How we think about Bitlight at Evermore
Bitlight (LIGHT) is currently classified as a micro-cap cryptocurrency by market value. Micro-cap tokens are highly speculative, thinly traded, and frequently do not survive a full market cycle. We would not build any part of a financial plan around an asset in this tier.
How Bitlight is taxed in Canada
The Canada Revenue Agency treats cryptocurrency as a commodity, not currency. When you sell, trade, or spend Bitlight, you trigger a taxable event — typically a capital gain (50% of the gain is taxable) if you are an investor, or fully-taxable business income if the CRA considers your trading a business. Every disposition must be reported, including crypto-to-crypto trades.
Can you hold Bitlight in a TFSA or RRSP?
No. You cannot hold LIGHT directly inside a TFSA, RRSP, or other registered account — cryptocurrencies are not "qualified investments." Canadians who want tax-sheltered crypto exposure typically use a listed crypto ETF held inside a registered account instead, which changes the risk and fee profile considerably.
