Tim Draper lands in Vancouver amid push for third US crypto bill

Tim Draper flew from San Jose to Boundary Bay Airport near Vancouver on May 12, 2026, a 1-hour 41-minute hop in his Gulfstream G550. The trip brings the third-generation venture capitalist to Canadian soil with no prior flights on file for this tail.

The same week, Draper called for a third US cryptocurrency bill that would allow businesses to operate entirely on Bitcoin, with taxes and payments processed on-chain automatically, per a report from Gate News on April 30. He also reiterated his prediction that Bitcoin will reach $250,000 by the end of 2025 and replace the US dollar within a decade, as covered by CoinDesk on May 13.

While the specific purpose of Draper’s Vancouver visit is not publicly documented, his recent speaking slot at Bitcoin 2026 in Las Vegas and his ongoing advocacy for Bitcoin-friendly regulation suggest the trip may involve meetings with Canadian crypto firms or policymakers. Boundary Bay’s proximity to Vancouver, a growing hub for digital asset startups, makes it a plausible destination for an investor who has backed over 50 crypto companies.
