CADD, this gives asset managers, corporates and treasury desks a way to hold the Canadian dollar stablecoin within existing institutional workflows instead of relying on retail oriented exchanges or self custody.<\/p>\n<p>By design, each CADD token is backed 1:1 by Canadian dollars held in trust at Tetra Trust Company, a licensed Canadian trust company that obtained regulatory approval from Alberta Treasury Board and Finance to issue the payment stablecoin via its agent CAD Digital Inc.<\/p>\n<p>According to a Business Wire launch release, \u201cCADD is Canada\u2019s only stablecoin

firm previously reporting an 80 percent quarterly increase in assets under custody as investors sought safer venues after a series of crypto insolvencies.<\/p>\n<p>In a LinkedIn <a rel=\"nofollow\"
