What the data says
RLUSD
RLUSD is Ripple's dollar — the stablecoin Ripple built on its institutional distribution, aimed at the same regulated-treasury ground as USDC and PYUSD but arriving with an exchange network behind it. The deployment 0x8292bb45bf1ee4d140127049757c2e0ff06317ed is the Ethereum mint; our September 21, 2026 snapshot reads $42.1 million of tracked pool liquidity.
The honest shape: RLUSD's reserve is the standard fiat-backed structure — cash and equivalents with attestations — so its risk profile is issuer-shaped (Ripple's solvency, NYDFS oversight, redemption terms) rather than exotic. What distinguishes it is distribution: Ripple's existing payment rails give it corridor utility most new stablecoins lack, though on pure DeFi depth it still trails the majors by an order of magnitude.
USDG
USDG is Paxos's second dollar — the newer stablecoin issued under the same regulated umbrella as PYUSD, but built for the Global Dollar Network, a consortium where the yield on reserves gets shared with the institutions distributing it rather than kept whole by the issuer. On Solana it landed where stablecoins actually move: our September 26, 2026 snapshot shows a market cap of about $670.5 million against 21,226 tracked holders and $41.2 million of on-chain pool liquidity — the deepest profile in this batch, and the reason it grades 100/100.
The honest reading of that grade: a regulated issuer with attested reserves is exactly what the contract side wants, and the distribution deal is why exchanges list it — the incentive that made USDT and USDC entrenched is pointed at growth here. The residual is that "regulated" is a jurisdiction's word for centralized controls: the issuer can freeze balances, and that is a property of the asset, not a defect.

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, 2026-09-08→2026-09-26T18:07:24; a token with fewer measured points measures a shorter span inside it.
