Crypto wealth has exploded from zero to nearly USD 4 trillion in fifteen years, creating a new cohort of location-independent entrepreneurs. For these investors, the challenge extends beyond protecting and multiplying digital assets; they need permanent legal status in stable jurisdictions. Among the options available, the US EB-5 Immigrant Investor Program offers a proven, efficient, and forward-looking pathway for crypto entrepreneurs seeking permanent residence in the world’s largest economy.
Crypto wealth is, by its nature, borderless. Yet the individuals behind this wealth often need reliable legal and financial frameworks that allow them to expand businesses, access talent, and plan for their families’ futures. The EB-5 program, administered by USCIS, enables foreign investors and their families to apply for lawful permanent resident status by making a qualifying investment of at least USD 800,000 in a US-based commercial project that creates at least ten full-time jobs for the economy.
As the leading EB-5 regional center sponsor and fund manager for over 20 years, CanAm has a deep history working with cities’ economic development agencies and large US institutional investors to bring the highest quality EB-5 investment projects for our global investor community.
Currently, many of the EB-5 projects we underwrite focus on meeting the surging energy demands of next-generation industries. Natural gas plants, renewable energy facilities, and fiber optic networks — our investments fund the actual electricity and connectivity that keep data centers, blockchain networks, and AI facilities operational. This alignment ensures that crypto and AI entrepreneurs not only secure US residence but also invest in the very infrastructure that fuels their industries’ long-term growth.
Competition for residence and citizenship options has increased as investors want regulatory certainty in an era of volatility. The EB-5 program now includes visa set-asides for investments in rural areas, high-unemployment zones, and infrastructure projects — helping expedite processing for these qualified categories each fiscal year.
Residence in the USA means more than stability; it provides market access. EB-5 investors enter an ecosystem where blockchain, fintech, and AI operate at a massive scale. The USA houses leading crypto exchanges, venture capital networks, and regulatory frameworks. For entrepreneurs who need institutional relationships, banking access, and policy influence, permanent residence provides a serious advantage.
CanAm treats EB-5 as more than an immigration program; it is a strategic tool connecting crypto entrepreneurs to infrastructure, legal status, and US markets. By investing in essential projects while obtaining permanent residence, crypto founders and their families establish foundations for sustained growth and long-term global opportunity.
