What the data says
CBETH
cbETH is Coinbase Wrapped Staked ETH — a liquid staking receipt where Coinbase runs the validators, the wrapper accrues staking yield as a rising exchange rate against ETH, and the custodian is a public company. The contract 0x2ae3f1ec7f1f5012cfeab0185bfc7aa3cf0dec22 is the canonical Base deployment; our November 6, 2026 read shows $2.0 million of tracked pool liquidity, with its deepest venues on Base's native DEXes.
The honest framing: cbETH is centralized by design — a single regulated issuer who can, and legally must be able to, freeze the contract. That is a feature if you want a compliance-clean staking receipt and a bug if you measure decentralization. The other real note: cbETH's price is not ETH's price — it trades on its own wrapper rate, and secondary-market discounts have opened in stress before.
USDT
USDT on BSC is Tether's dollar on the chain that still clears a meaningful share of stablecoin volume — issued by Binance's peg mechanism under the BEP-20 standard at 0x55d398326f99059ff775485246999027b3197955, the canonical BSC mint. Our November 6, 2026 snapshot reads $478.3 million of tracked pool liquidity.
The honest chain note: this is a pegged representation — the reserve sits with Tether, and the BSC contract is Binance's wrapped issuance of that claim, not a second Tether mint. That makes its risk profile two-layered: Tether's attestation cadence underneath, plus the bridge-custody layer Binance operates on top. For most users the distinction never matters; for anyone holding size it is the entire question.

The grade column is the one CMC's compare page cannot print — our grade is computed from the contract itself (mint/freeze authority, liquidity, holder concentration). Changes are measured over the shared window stated on the chart, 2026-09-21→2026-11-07T18:16:33; a token with fewer measured points measures a shorter span inside it.
