At the beginning of 2026, many people are thinking about how to realize their crypto gains. I have a real-life example from someone around me.

A former colleague used to trade domestically and accumulated a significant amount of assets through crypto trading. He has always been optimistic about living in Canada, especially Vancouver — which is indeed a great place with a pleasant climate and high quality of life. But actually immigrating seemed complicated, so he came up with a solution: he registered a digital asset company in BC.

What is the real estate market like in Vancouver? Let me show you some data for comparison:
- Apartments start at around $350,000 USD
- Townhouses are roughly $700,000 USD
- Detached houses are over $2 million USD

His idea was to first convert crypto earnings into CAD through legal exchange channels, then operate real estate transactions under the company’s name. This approach maintains flexibility while also geographically diversifying assets.

Honestly, this cross-border allocation of crypto gains is worth considering for many seasoned crypto investors. Instead of letting assets sit passively in wallets, it’s better to plan the exit and realization strategies in advance.

Vancouver housing prices are so outrageous, buying a detached house for 2 million USD? Crypto people really know how to make money. --- Legitimate U exchange landing strategy is indeed impressive, much smarter than just HODLing. --- But about buying property in the company's name... is there really no issue with the tax authorities? --- Remembered something, a friend did the same last year, and now asset allocation feels really comfortable. --- A 350,000 USD apartment... doesn’t seem more expensive than first-tier cities in China. --- This approach is suitable for those with real gold and silver in hand; small investors might want to skip it. --- This method in Canada sounds simple, but how complicated is the actual process? Is the procedure complex? --- Legitimate landing of crypto gains is indeed a problem; this case is okay.

*adjusts alchemical instruments* the transmutation process here is... fascinating tbh. dude basically figured out the philosopher's stone wasn't about turning lead to gold—it's about converting on-chain yield into real estate collateral through jurisdictional arbitrage. the protocol efficiency is *chef's kiss*

Vancouver housing prices are outrageous. What does a $2 million detached house even mean? I can buy four or five houses of the same price here. But this guy's approach is pretty smooth—using a company shell to avoid risks, he's got a good plan. The problem is, with the CAD depreciating so quickly, is it still worth entering now?

Vancouver housing prices are so outrageous, and you still have to pay taxes. Is it really worth it?

Vancouver housing prices are really crazy; a $2 million detached house is still just the starting price... This guy's thinking is indeed clear, but I've seen a lot of BC company's methods. The key is how they will handle compliance moving forward.

Vancouver housing prices are indeed soaring, but what about the risks of this operation? Be aware of the tax implications. Speaking of which, the crypto world should really start thinking about how to land properly, instead of waiting until the last wave to realize. Is that U exchange channel reliable? I'm just worried that there might be more issues down the line. Holding property in the company's name is like planting a seed in Canada, I agree with that. The most important thing is to implement proper risk control; otherwise, even if you make a profit, you could lose it all.
