Missing figures stay unavailable. Forward P/E requires a dated source. Annual revenue, revenue growth, net income and margin come from each company's own 10-K, in US dollars, and each row shows that fiscal year. Revenue growth compares the fiscal year with the prior year stated in the same 10-K. Net income is the full year amount attributable to the company, or available to common stockholders where the filing states only that, or consolidated net income. Each row names its basis. Trailing P/E reads "Not meaningful" when the dated trailing diluted EPS is a loss or zero. An operating margin appears only when the filing states both the operating income and the revenue for the same year.

Sources: SEC filings, Gloria daily closes and CoinGecko. Oldest record refresh: Oct 29, 2026, 12:47 PM EDT. Refresh is not a price or filing date. Each row shows its price date and its annual fiscal period. Peers use industry code and company size, or editorial selection. Market cap multiplies that row price by the company share total the latest SEC filing states for every share class together. Trailing P/E divides it by trailing diluted earnings from SEC filings. Rolled earnings per share are approximate because share counts can change between periods. Both appear only when the SEC data carries its date, so they are estimates at one price date, not synchronized filing valuations. Not investment advice.

Canadian crypto users have long been forced into an awkward workaround: convert their loonies to US dollars, buy a USD stablecoin, then finally do something useful onchain. CADD, Canada’s first regulated Canadian dollar stablecoin, just landed on Coinbase’s Base network, and it’s designed to kill that extra step entirely.

Launched on May 4 by Tetra Digital Group, CADD is pegged 1:1 to the Canadian dollar and backed by CAD reserves. It received regulatory approval from the Alberta Treasury Board and Finance, making it not just another stablecoin experiment but a fully sanctioned financial product operating within Canada’s regulatory framework.

What CADD actually is and who’s behind it

The institutional backing here is worth paying attention to. National Bank of Canada, ATB Financial, Wealthsimple, and Shopify are all supporting the project.

Tetra Trust, the entity behind Tetra Digital Group, holds a distinction that matters in this context: it’s Canada’s first regulated digital asset custodian.

The stablecoin is currently live on three platforms: Base, the Ethereum mainnet, and Tempo. Solana integration is planned for a future date.

Why Base, and why now

Base, Coinbase’s Ethereum layer-2 network, has processed over 167 million transactions in agentic economies, making it one of the most active L2s in the ecosystem.

For CADD, launching on Base makes strategic sense. The network offers lower transaction costs than Ethereum mainnet while maintaining the security guarantees of Ethereum’s base layer. For a stablecoin designed to facilitate everyday transactions and 24/7 trade settlements, keeping fees low isn’t optional.

What this means for investors

Canadian traders who wanted to move between crypto and their local currency faced limited options, wider spreads, and the constant friction of USD conversion. CADD has the potential to change that dynamic by providing direct CAD liquidity onchain.

The risk side of the equation deserves equal attention. Peg stability is the existential question for any stablecoin, and CADD will need to prove it can maintain its 1:1 ratio during periods of market stress. Regulatory approval from Alberta doesn’t automatically mean nationwide acceptance, either. Canada’s provincial regulatory structure means CADD may face additional hurdles as it seeks broader recognition across the country.

Investors and traders watching this space should monitor CADD’s reserve transparency, trading volume growth on Base, and whether the planned Solana integration materializes on schedule.
