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 November 6, 2026 snapshot reads $478.3 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.
MSETH
msETH is Metronome Synth's synthetic ether — a collateral-minted synthetic that tracks ETH's price through the Synth engine's mint-and-pool mechanics rather than by holding ether itself. The contract 0x7ba6f01772924a82d9626c126347a28299e98c98 is the Base deployment our scan tracks, at $2.3 million of pool liquidity as of November 6, 2026.
The honest note: msETH is not ETH and not a claim on ETH — synthetic assets trade at whatever the pool clears, which can sit far from the underlying's price (our current read has it at a steep discount to spot ether). Exposure through a synth is exposure to the synth's own liquidity and redemption mechanics first. If you want ETH on Base, bridged or wrapped ETH is the honest instrument; this is a different product.

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→2026-11-11T18:19:14; a token with fewer measured points measures a shorter span inside it.
