Company origins and philosophy

Newton was founded with the goal of making cryptocurrency accessible to all Canadians. According to the company itself, in 2017, when Bitcoin was breaking through $20,000, access to crypto in Canada was complicated: fees were high, funding an account was difficult, and many platforms felt unreliable. The company set out to remove those barriers. Its internal philosophy is summed up in principles such as continuous improvement, transparency, actively listening to customers, long-term planning, leading by doing, and data-informed decisions.

Partnerships and public presence

Newton has established a partnership with Koinly, a cryptocurrency tax calculation tool, to simplify its users' tax filings. The company also maintains relationships with trusted organizations and has appeared in Canadian media; in October 2025 it announced its participation in Toronto Life's celebration of 2025's most influential people.

User resources

The company offers a blog with cryptocurrency information and education, a knowledge base with step-by-step instructions and troubleshooting, and a support center to answer frequently asked questions and handle issues. The customer support team is Canadian.
