What the data says
PYUSD
PYUSD is what a stablecoin looks like when it's built for regulators first and DeFi second. PayPal USD is issued not by PayPal directly but by Paxos Trust Company, a New York–chartered trust supervised by NYDFS, with reserves held in dollar deposits, U.S. Treasuries, and equivalents, attested monthly. The Ethereum deployment lives at 0x6c3ea9036406852006290770bedfcaba0e23a0e8, where NexFlow's September 27, 2026 snapshot records roughly $71 million of tracked pool liquidity and $11 million of daily on-chain volume — modest next to USDC or USDT, in keeping with a coin whose primary life is inside PayPal and Venmo balances rather than on DEXes.
Read the contract powers through the regulated-issuer lens or you'll misread them as red flags. PYUSD's contract can mint (against dollars in), burn (against dollars out), pause transfers entirely, and freeze or even wipe balances at specific addresses under Paxos's asset-protection role. On an anonymous token, that list is a rug in waiting; here it is the legally mandated toolkit of a New York trust company, and NYDFS supervision is precisely the reason those powers exist. The trade you make holding PYUSD is explicit: maximum issuer accountability, in exchange for maximum issuer control.
BTCB
BTCB Token is Bitcoin held by a custodian and re-issued on BNB Chain — a pegged-Bitcoin receipt trading at 0x7130d2a12b9bcbfae4f2634d864a1ee1ce3ead9c. The snapshot is dated September 27, 2026, 311 days into the row's tracked life.
Only 65.3 thousand tokens exist on this deployment, and they trade heavily: $111.0 million moved in the last day against $70.2 million of tracked pool liquidity — turnover above the pool, the signature of an arbitrage-driven asset that changes hands more often than it is held. The pool reads deep in absolute terms.

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→2026-09-27T15:10:18; a token with fewer measured points measures a shorter span inside it.
