North America is the region where the interesting local currency work is Canadian. The Canadian dollar carries most of the coins on this page, from unrelated issuers using genuinely different legal structures, while the United States entries here are the ones whose home market is domestic rather than global. The large dollar coins that most readers associate with the United States are not on this page at all, because their market is worldwide and they sit under the global cluster.
Read this page for the Canadian dollar, then, and read the global page for the dollar.

QCAD is the most structurally distinctive coin in the region. It is issued by the QCAD Digital Trust, described as holding one to one Canadian dollar reserves at regulated financial institutions, and its issuer states that its prospectus received final approval on 20 November 2025 under an interim Canadian framework for stablecoins. Tokens issued before that date are described as sitting against reserve assets held in a separate custodial account.
A prospectus route is a different answer from the e-money route Europe took and from the trust structures common in Japan. It puts the instrument inside securities disclosure rather than payments authorisation, and it is the only example of that approach in this roster.
The remaining Canadian dollar coins come from independent issuers and from Mento's protocol, so the currency is covered by three unrelated models at once. The two United States entries here are domestically focused rather than global.

This is the thinnest region on the map for verifiable data, and saying so is more useful than working around it.
Several coins listed here have no contract address recorded that DIA has been able to read, so no supply figure is shown for them. That is a statement about our coverage rather than about the coins, and it is being worked through rather than left standing.
Where a coin is readable, DIA reads it from contract state on the chains it indexes rather than accepting a figure from an aggregator or an issuer summary. QCAD is a useful case for why the reserve side needs reading separately: its issuer describes one to one reserves at regulated financial institutions and a prospectus approved under an interim framework, and neither of those is the same document as an outside party counting the balance. The coin page records which of those exists.

QCAD's issuer states that its prospectus received final approval on 20 November 2025 under an interim Canadian framework for stablecoins. That is a securities disclosure route rather than the e-money authorisation Europe uses, and it is the only example of that approach anywhere in this map's roster.
Because their home market is worldwide rather than domestic. This map assigns a coin to the region whose market it actually serves, so the large dollar coins sit under the global cluster. This page covers coins whose market is North American, which in practice means mostly Canadian dollar issuance.
Because DIA has no contract address for them that we have been able to read, and we do not publish a supply figure we have not read ourselves. That absence describes the state of our coverage rather than the state of the coin, and it is being worked through.
