What the data says
WBNB
Wrapped BNB is the token form of BNB itself — the same asset, wrapped so BNB Chain contracts and pools can hold it — and the deployment at 0xbb4cdb9cbd36b01bd1cbaebf2de08d9173bc095c is the canonical wrapper the whole chain trades against. This snapshot is dated September 27, 2026.
The contract read is about as clean as the chain produces: mint authority revoked, freeze authority revoked, the contract cannot mint new units, and it is not a proxy, so the deployed code is fixed. 8,285,764 wallets hold it — among the widest bases this index tracks — and the pool carries $675.8 million of tracked liquidity against a $1.2 billion market cap, with $657.5 million changing hands in the last day.
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 $601.6 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.

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→2026-09-27T15:10:18; a token with fewer measured points measures a shorter span inside it.
