What the data says
USD1
USD1 at 0x8d0d000ee44948fc98c9b98a4fa4921476f08b0d is World Liberty Financial's dollar — the stablecoin issued by the Trump-affiliated DeFi venture — and the October 6, 2026 snapshot shows how big it has gotten: an asset-wide market cap of $4.4 billion, with the BNB Chain float of 1.4 billion units priced $1.4 billion fully diluted.
$26.5 million of tracked pool liquidity on BNB Chain reads thin against the headline cap — the flag is arithmetic, not alarm — and 24-hour volume prints $2.2 million, quiet turnover for a top-tier stablecoin, which is what a politically-connected settlement asset tends to look like on-chain: held, moved and deployed, not churned. 528 days on the record is young for the asset class but established for a 2025-issue dollar.
PAXG
PAXG is Paxos's tokenized gold — each token a claim on one fine troy ounce held in LBMA vaults in London, making it the most direct on-chain gold exposure in this index. The deployment 0x45804880de22913dafe09f4980848ece6ecbaf78 is the canonical mint; our October 9, 2026 snapshot reads $20.9 million of tracked pool liquidity.
The honest frame is the custodial one: a PAXG is only as good as Paxos's vault attestations and redemption rails — Paxos is a NYDFS-regulated trust, which puts this in the "institutional-grade claim" bucket alongside USDC rather than the commodity-fantasy bucket — but it is still a claim, and redemption has minimums most wallets will never meet. The token tracks spot gold minus the custody premium; what it cannot track is the deep liquidity of actual gold markets.

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→2026-10-23T18:15:55; a token with fewer measured points measures a shorter span inside it.
