Canadian readers who searched for the top cryptocurrencies in Canada on November 4, 2026 found a Kitco price table that lists nine assets in Canadian dollars. Bitcoin (BTC) leads at C$108,140.63, and Ethereum (ETH) follows at C$3,184.08. Kitco’s page also puts Bitcoin’s market capitalization at C$1.56T, which is roughly 2.2 times the combined value of the other eight coins on the list.

The price level fits the weak tape we tracked when Bitcoin hit $78,070 as the Binance hack met the midterms. The currencies differ, so the numbers do not compare one to one. Still, Kitco’s Tether quote of C$1.396 implies an exchange rate near 1.396 Canadian dollars per US dollar if Tether holds its peg. At that rate, Bitcoin sits around US$77,500, in the same neighbourhood as that low. That conversion is our own arithmetic, not a Kitco figure.

This report goes through what the verified data supports, what it does not, and why a coding-tools site cares. The short version: nine coins, one clear leader, one unconfirmed tenth slot, and a handful of data-handling lessons for anyone building a price widget, a portfolio tracker, or a tax export for Canadian users.

What Kitco Listed for Canada on November 4, 2026

Kitco listed nine cryptocurrencies in Canadian dollars on November 4, 2026: Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), Litecoin (LTC), BNB (BNB), XRP (XRP), Tether (USDT), Bitcoin Cash (BCH), IOTA (IOTA), and Solana (SOL). Each entry carries a spot price and a market capitalization, both quoted in CAD. That is the entire verified dataset behind this story’s price claims, along with one separate Bitcoin daily record from Yahoo Finance.

The spread of prices is wide. Bitcoin trades above C$108,000 per coin, while IOTA trades at C$0.05539. That is a gap of about 1.95 million to one in unit price, which is why a display layer built for one asset often breaks on another. We return to that problem in the coding section below.

Kitco did not publish a ranking rule on the page as far as the available results show. The order of the list in the source tells us nothing confirmed about popularity, trading volume, or Canadian ownership. We treat it as a list of assets Kitco prices in CAD that day, nothing more.

Why a Top 10 Headline Doesn’t Hold Up

Several outlets and search results frame this story as a top 10 list. The verified record shows nine. The available results do not establish a tenth cryptocurrency, and they do not establish the criterion that would rank any of them. We could be looking at market capitalization, search interest, exchange volume, or simply the coins a data vendor happens to support. Each of those would produce a different list.

That matters for readers because a ranked list implies a method. If the method is missing, the order is decoration. So this article reports the nine Kitco assets as a price listing and draws its comparisons from numbers we can verify. Where we rank assets below, we say which measure we use, and we state that the measure is ours.

The practical takeaway for editors and developers is simple. Do not hard-code a ten-item array because a headline said ten. Build the list from the data you actually receive, and let the count float. A feed that returns nine items should render nine items.

Canadian Dollar Prices for the Nine Listed Coins

Table 1 reproduces Kitco’s November 4, 2026 prices exactly as reported, with the number of decimal places Kitco showed. We have not rounded them.

We sorted Table 1 by price, highest first, which is our choice and not Kitco’s. Three things stand out. First, only BTC and ETH trade above C$1,000 if you exclude BNB, which sits just under at C$970.64. Second, XRP and Tether trade within about C$0.38 of each other, yet one is a payments-focused asset and the other is a dollar-pegged stablecoin. Third, IOTA’s quote runs to five decimal places, while Bitcoin’s runs to two.

One simple ratio is worth keeping. Ethereum at C$3,184.08 against Bitcoin at C$108,140.63 gives an ETH-to-BTC ratio of about 0.0294. That figure is our calculation from Kitco’s two quotes, and it holds only for Kitco’s snapshot.

Market Capitalization: Bitcoin Carries the Weight

Kitco reported market capitalizations for all nine assets. Bitcoin’s C$1.56T dwarfs the rest. Tether, at C$178.18B, ranks third behind Ethereum at C$278.35B. Table 2 lists each cap and adds a share column. We computed the share by adding the nine Kitco caps and dividing, so it measures weight inside this nine-coin set, not across the whole crypto market.

The nine caps add up to roughly C$2.25T. Bitcoin and Ethereum together hold about 81.6% of that. Add Tether and the top three reach about 89.5%. The bottom three (Bitcoin Cash, Litecoin, and IOTA) together account for well under 1%.

Because Kitco rounded Bitcoin’s cap to three significant figures, our shares carry a small margin of error, probably a few tenths of a point. Treat the percentages as approximate. The ordering does not change under any plausible rounding.

Bitcoin’s November 4 Session on Yahoo Finance

Yahoo Finance recorded Bitcoin for November 4, 2026 with a full daily candle. It opened at C$108,317.60, touched a high of C$112,740.34, fell to a low of C$105,738.74, and closed at C$111,990.88. Table 3 sets those out with the derived moves.

Two readings follow. Bitcoin swung about 6.6% between its low and high in one session, and it finished close to the top of that range. We cannot say what drove the move, because the verified results include no catalyst. We also do not claim causation from any news item.

Note that Yahoo’s close of C$111,990.88 sits about C$3,850 above Kitco’s C$108,140.63 spot quote. The two figures almost certainly reflect different timestamps, because Kitco’s number reads like an intraday snapshot and Yahoo’s is an end-of-day candle. We cannot confirm the snapshot time for either, so we do not treat the gap as an error or as an arbitrage. The point is a data-handling one, and we come back to it below.

Kitco vs Yahoo Finance: Two Sources, Two Jobs

The two sources in the verified record do different jobs, and a developer choosing between them should know the difference. Kitco’s listing gives a cross-section: nine assets, one price and one market cap each, in CAD. Yahoo Finance gives depth on one asset: open, high, low, close, and volume for Bitcoin on the day.

Kitco works for a front-page widget or a table of what each coin is worth in Canadian dollars. Yahoo’s candle works for a chart, a volatility measure, or a daily-return calculation. Neither one alone supports a complete portfolio view. A tracker that wants both breadth and history needs two feeds, or a vendor that bundles them.

The comparison also shows a limit of what we can verify. We have a full daily candle for Bitcoin only. We have no verified highs, lows, or volume for Ethereum, Solana, or the other seven coins. So any claim about how the other assets moved intraday on November 4 would be invention, and this article makes none.

Volume deserves a flag. Yahoo’s figure of 55,820,468,224 appears without a unit in our results. It could be coins, a count of units, or a currency value, and the difference changes its meaning by orders of magnitude. If you build on a volume field, read the provider’s documentation before you label the number.

What Tether’s C$1.396 Quote Tells You

Tether (USDT) trades at C$1.396 on Kitco’s list. Tether is designed to track the US dollar, so a quote of C$1.396 reads as an exchange rate of about 1.396 Canadian dollars per US dollar, assuming the peg held. We cannot verify the peg from our results, so treat the implied rate as a rough cross-check and not an official figure.

The implied rate helps in two ways. It lets you sanity-check other Kitco prices against US-dollar quotes you see elsewhere. It also warns you when a feed has mixed currencies, which is a classic bug in price tables. If a Bitcoin price in your app is off from the US-dollar price by a factor that does not match roughly 1.4, one source is probably in the wrong currency.

Tether also carries the third-largest cap in Kitco’s set at C$178.18B, ahead of BNB and XRP. For a Canadian user, that places the stablecoin among the most visible assets by size, though size says nothing about its risk profile. Our results contain no reserve or audit information, so we make no claim about it.

Reading the Nine Assets by Role

The nine coins serve different purposes, and grouping them by role clarifies why a single ranking is hard to defend. These role descriptions are general background and not claims from Kitco or Yahoo.

  • Store-of-value style: Bitcoin, and its fork Bitcoin Cash, which share a lineage but trade at very different prices (C$108,140.63 and C$378.53).
  • Smart-contract platforms: Ethereum and Solana, priced at C$3,184.08 and C$128.84.
  • Stablecoin: Tether, quoted at C$1.396.
  • Exchange ecosystem token: BNB, at C$970.64.
  • Payments-oriented: XRP and Litecoin, at C$1.774 and C$74.73.
  • Machine-to-machine ledger focus: IOTA, at C$0.05539.

A top-ranked list would blur these roles. A stablecoin’s cap measures dollars parked on-chain, while a smart-contract token’s cap reflects speculation about future network use. Comparing them in one ranking mixes two different questions. That is another reason to keep the nine-coin set as a price listing and not a leaderboard.

Historical Context: A Market Still Digesting the Binance Hack

This price snapshot lands in a market that has spent weeks absorbing a large exchange breach. Our earlier coverage tracked the $6.3B Binance incident from several angles, and a follow-up on Binance outflows settling at $3.64B after the reopening shows how custody concerns fed into flows. We cite those pieces for context only, and we draw no causal line from them to the November 4 prices.

The honest framing is that Bitcoin’s Yahoo candle shows a 6.6% intraday range and a close near the day’s high. That is consistent with a volatile market, but our results do not tell us whether November 4 marked a bounce, a continuation, or noise. Anyone who claims a trend from one candle is guessing.

For historical comparison against earlier years, we have no verified Canadian-dollar figures in our results, so we leave that out. Prior-year price comparisons require sourced data, and padding the section with remembered numbers would break our fact rules.

The Coding-Tools Angle: Building a CAD Price Tracker

A crypto price table is a software problem as much as a market one. The Kitco numbers expose four traps that bite developers who build price features. Prices span six orders of magnitude, so fixed decimal formatting fails. Floating-point math drifts on money values. Snapshots from different providers carry different timestamps. And headline counts (like ten) do not match feed counts (nine).

Store Money as Decimals, Not Floats

Python’s Decimal type keeps C$0.05539 exact, where a binary float may not. The snippet below loads Kitco’s November 4 caps, computes each coin’s share of the nine-coin total, and prints the result. It uses only the verified numbers from this article.

The last line is the point of the exercise. Count what you received, and do not assume ten. If you are choosing an editor for this kind of work, our comparison of Zed, VS Code, and JetBrains pricing lays out the costs.

Stamp Every Quote With a Source and Time

Kitco’s C$108,140.63 and Yahoo’s C$111,990.88 for Bitcoin show why each quote needs a source name and a timestamp in your data model. Without them, two correct numbers look like a bug. Store the provider, the fetch time, and the currency alongside every price, and refuse to display a value that lacks any of the three.

Security Notes for Developers Who Touch Crypto

Price feeds are the low-risk end of crypto development. The high-risk end is anything that touches keys, signing, or exchange credentials. Our reporting after the Binance incident covered how fake coding tests became an attack route, with five defenses for developers. It is worth reading before you accept a take-home test from an unfamiliar recruiter.

A companion piece lists six coding tool checks after the $6.3B hack. The common thread is basic hygiene: verify what runs on your machine, isolate wallet-adjacent work, and treat unsolicited code as hostile until proven otherwise.

None of this is specific to the November 4 listing. It does apply to anyone who turns a price display into a trading or custody feature, because the moment an app can move funds, the threat model changes.

Market Impact for Canadian Holders and Builders

For a Canadian holder, the Kitco listing delivers one useful fact: values in CAD, with no conversion step. A person holding one Bitcoin sees C$108,140.63 on Kitco’s snapshot, and a person holding 10 Solana sees C$1,288.40, which is our multiplication of C$128.84 by ten. The exact tax or reporting treatment is outside what our sources cover, so we make no claim about it.

For builders, the impact is operational. A Canadian-facing app that displays Bitcoin needs to handle a multi-thousand-dollar daily swing, as Yahoo’s C$7,001.60 range shows, without confusing users who refresh the page. Rate-limit your price calls, cache with a visible age, and show the quote’s timestamp. Users forgive a stale price that says it is stale. They do not forgive a fresh-looking price that is wrong.

Concentration is the other market-level takeaway. With Bitcoin at about 69% of the nine-coin cap, a portfolio that holds the market through these nine assets is mostly a Bitcoin position, and Ethereum adds about another 12%. A Canadian investor who wants diversification would need to look past market-cap weighting. A developer building a portfolio view should show weights prominently, because a table sorted by price hides the fact that one asset dominates the total.

Small-cap entries deserve a second look as well. IOTA’s C$187.13M cap is roughly 8,300 times smaller than Bitcoin’s, by our division of the two Kitco figures. Price swings in assets that small can look dramatic in percentage terms and still barely move a nine-coin total. Alerts and charts that treat every ticker the same will bury users in noise from the thinnest markets.

For publishers, the lesson is about headlines. A top 10 claim that the data cannot back up invites corrections. We chose the narrower, verifiable framing because it stays accurate when a reader checks it against Kitco.

Five Predictions From This Snapshot

These are our expectations, not forecasts of price. We make no call on where any coin trades next.

  1. Bitcoin stays dominant inside this set. At roughly 69% of the nine-coin cap, a shift below 60% would need a large relative move in other assets. We expect the share to stay above that line in the next several snapshots.
  2. Top-ten Canadian lists will keep disagreeing. With no stated ranking rule, outlets will pick different tenth coins. Expect headline counts and feed counts to keep mismatching.
  3. Single-snapshot prices will draw more criticism. A 6.6% intraday range makes one number misleading, so more apps will show a high, low, and timestamp together.
  4. Developers will use stablecoin quotes as FX sanity checks. The roughly 1.396 implied rate gives a cheap cross-check against currency mix-ups.
  5. Security tooling stays in focus. With the Binance aftermath still fresh, expect teams that build crypto features to tighten code review and recruiter-test screening.

What We Could Not Confirm

Several points stay open, and we flag them so readers do not assume otherwise. The tenth cryptocurrency in any top 10 framing is unconfirmed. The ranking criterion (market cap, popularity, Canadian ownership, trading volume, or something else) is unconfirmed. The timestamp behind Kitco’s spot prices is not in our results. The unit of Yahoo’s volume figure is not in our results. And we found no on-record quote from a named speaker on this story, so we include none.

We also did not find verified Canadian regulatory, exchange, or tax details tied to the November 4 listing. Anyone making a financial decision should check current rules with a licensed professional. This article reports prices and data-handling lessons and does not offer investment advice.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the top cryptocurrencies in Canada on November 4, 2026?
Kitco listed nine in Canadian dollars: Bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin, BNB, XRP, Tether, Bitcoin Cash, IOTA, and Solana. Our sources do not confirm a ranked top 10.

What is Bitcoin’s price in Canadian dollars today?
Kitco lists Bitcoin at C$108,140.63 on November 4, 2026. Yahoo Finance recorded a daily close of C$111,990.88 for the same date, so the two numbers reflect different measures and likely different times.

How big is Bitcoin’s market cap in CAD?
Kitco reports C$1.56T. Ethereum follows at C$278.35B and Tether at C$178.18B.

How much did Bitcoin move on November 4?
Per Yahoo Finance, it opened at C$108,317.60, hit a high of C$112,740.34, dipped to C$105,738.74, and closed at C$111,990.88. That is a range of about 6.6% from low to high, by our calculation.

Why does the list show nine coins and not ten?
Because the verified data contains nine. The tenth coin and the ranking method are both unconfirmed, so we report only what Kitco lists.

Is Tether’s C$1.396 price an exchange rate?
It implies one if Tether holds its dollar peg, which our results do not verify. Treat about 1.396 CAD per USD as a rough cross-check only.

Why should developers care about this listing?
It shows real data-handling problems: huge price ranges, decimal precision, mismatched timestamps, and headline counts that differ from feed counts. Using Decimal types, source stamps, and counts taken from the data itself avoids most of them.
