What the data says
USDT
USDT on BSC is Tether's dollar on the chain that still clears a meaningful share of stablecoin volume — issued by Binance's peg mechanism under the BEP-20 standard at 0x55d398326f99059ff775485246999027b3197955, the canonical BSC mint. Our September 27, 2026 snapshot reads $595.8 million of tracked pool liquidity.
The honest chain note: this is a pegged representation — the reserve sits with Tether, and the BSC contract is Binance's wrapped issuance of that claim, not a second Tether mint. That makes its risk profile two-layered: Tether's attestation cadence underneath, plus the bridge-custody layer Binance operates on top. For most users the distinction never matters; for anyone holding size it is the entire question.
HYUSD
hyUSD is a Solana yield-bearing stable — the dollar that routes its reserve into yield strategies rather than sitting flat, in the same family as eUSX and the other "stables that pay" assets this index tracks. The mint 5YMkXAYccHSGnHn9nob9xEvv6Pvka9DZWH7nTbotTu9E is the deployment; our September 26, 2026 snapshot reads $2.6 million of tracked pool liquidity and grades it A.
The honest mechanics for the class: a yield-bearing stable's return is only as good as the strategy book behind it — the A grade verifies the Solana-side contract is clean, while the yield itself is an off-chain fact the chain can't inspect. Depth at this size means real usage; the strategy is the counterparty.

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, 2026-09-15→2026-09-27T18:22:06; a token with fewer measured points measures a shorter span inside it.
