Stablecoins by region
A dollar stablecoin is issued in one place and used everywhere. A lira, real or naira stablecoin is not: it exists because someone in that market needed it, and it circulates where that need is. These pages group the 142 active stablecoins into 6 regions by the markets they were built for.
The table has one more row than there are regions: Global (multi-region) is not a region but the bucket for stablecoins issued for no single market, such as USDT and USDC.
Regulation is the other reason to read the map this way. MiCA, the Singapore MAS framework and the Nigerian CBN rules each produced a different shape of issuer, and the roster on each region page shows what that produced.

A stablecoin can be tagged for several regions, so these are overlapping views of the roster rather than a partition of it. Counts add up to more than the total stablecoin count by design. A stablecoin with no measured supply stays listed, marked “Supply not read” or “Supply not priced”, and is left out of every count. The 90d column reads circulating-supply history from aggregated market data; a region whose recorded history does not cover its current supply shows no figure rather than a wrong one. Growth is left blank where supply at the start of the window was under $1M.
