What the data says
JUPUSD
JupUSD is Jupiter's own dollar — the stablecoin the Solana DEX aggregator issued (with Ethena's infrastructure behind it) to give its venue a native settlement asset rather than renting someone else's. The mint JuprjznTrTSp2UFa3ZBUFgwdAmtZCq4MQCwysN55USD is the Solana deployment; our September 26, 2026 snapshot reads $19.7 million of tracked pool liquidity and grades it A.
The honest framing: a venue-issued stablecoin's distribution is the venue — JupUSD's depth is guaranteed wherever Jupiter routes, and its incentive is adoption across the same pools this index measures. The risk shape is two-part: the Ethena-style reserve mechanics underneath plus Jupiter's operational role on top; neither is a fiat attestation, and an A grade here is a contract-state verdict, not a balance-sheet one.
KBTC
KBTC is Kraken's wrapped Bitcoin — the exchange's entry into the custodial-BTC field that BitGo's WBTC defined and Coinbase's cbBTC made a two-horse race. The deployment 0x73e0c0d45e048d25fc26fa3159b0aa04bfa4db98 is the Ethereum mint; our September 26, 2026 snapshot reads $19 million of tracked pool liquidity — real but thin against the incumbents' billions.
The honest framing is custody-shaped: a wrapped BTC is a claim on whoever holds the underlying coins, so Kraken's operational record and regulatory posture are the actual asset backing this token — same trust model as WBTC and cbBTC, different custodian. The spread between this read and the leaders' depth is the market's verdict on how much of that custody people want exposure to on-chain versus at the exchange itself.

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, 2026-09-14→2026-09-26T18:07:24; a token with fewer measured points measures a shorter span inside it.
