How we think about Helium at Evermore
Helium (HNT) is currently classified as a small-cap cryptocurrency by market value. Small-cap tokens carry meaningful liquidity and project-survival risk on top of the usual crypto volatility. If it appears in a client's portfolio at all, it belongs in the speculative sleeve — never in money earmarked for retirement, a home, or education.
How Helium is taxed in Canada
The Canada Revenue Agency treats cryptocurrency as a commodity, not currency. When you sell, trade, or spend Helium, 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 Helium in a TFSA or RRSP?
No. You cannot hold HNT 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.
