What the data says
USDS
USDS Stablecoin, known by the ticker USDS, is an asset on the Ethereum blockchain. Its contract address is 0xdc035d45d973e3ec169d2276ddab16f1e407384f. This snapshot of USDS Stablecoin was taken on November 6, 2026.
As of this snapshot, USDS Stablecoin has a market cap of $9.5 billion and a fully-diluted valuation of $6.4 billion, with a total supply of 6.6 billion tokens. It has a 24-hour trading volume of $718.2 thousand and tracked pool liquidity of $79.0 million. The token is 748 days old. NexFlow assigned a safety grade of B to USDS Stablecoin at this snapshot, noting that the pool depth for a token of this size is thin.
WSTETH
wstETH is stETH made legible to DeFi — the same claim on Lido-staked Ether, wrapped so the balance stops moving: where stETH re-bases your token count upward each day, wstETH holds a fixed count and lets the exchange rate against stETH do the appreciating. That is the shape lending markets, bridges and LPs need, which is why the contract at 0x7f39c581f595b53c5cb19bd0b3f8da6c935e2ca0 became the canonical collateral form — our November 6, 2026 snapshot reads $50.1 million of tracked pool liquidity on it.
The verdict therefore inherits stETH's, plus one wrapper-layer note. You hold a claim on staked ETH via Lido — subject to its validator set, Ethereum's exit queue, and stETH's own depeg memory (June 2022, when it traded visibly under par) — and the price shown for wstETH is stETH's price times a steadily growing conversion rate, so it will always quote above ETH while tracking correctly. Nothing about that is a defect; it is the mechanic to understand before reading the quote as a premium.

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→2026-11-12T21:16:22; a token with fewer measured points measures a shorter span inside it.
