What the data says
ELK
ELK's contract lacks the two powers a bad actor would want to keep. The contract cannot mint new supply, so the float can't be diluted, and it can't pause transfers or blacklist wallets either, so your tokens stay yours to move and sell. Clearing both of those in one go is a strong sign, and it's what puts ELK at 85/100 as of the 2026-10-09 snapshot.
Looking at the market data, ELK shows $7.74K of on-chain liquidity, 4,738 holders and an established record at 1,644 days as of 2026-10-09. The $7.74K pool stands up well to a ~$149.66K cap — depth like that means ELK absorbs normal flow without the price lurching. The 4,738-wallet base is a reasonable spread of ownership, though a headline count doesn't show whether a few wallets dominate — the concentration read on this page speaks to that. Reassuringly, the wallet that created ELK holds under 5% of supply (<0.01%) as of 2026-10-09 — the deployer hasn't kept an oversized stake to unload.
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 October 9, 2026 snapshot reads $548.6 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.
FAQ
Which is bigger, ELK or USDT?
By tracked market cap: ELK (Gnosis) measures $149.66K and USDT (BNB Chain) measures $9.19B — dated snapshots, not a live feed.
Which is safer, ELK or USDT?
On the contract checks we publish: ELK (Gnosis) grades A and USDT (BNB Chain) grades B. A grade is a structural check on the contract, not a promise about the asset.
How have ELK and USDT performed over the shared window?
Between 2026-10-09 and 2026-10-17T03:15:24, the measured snapshots show ELK at −8.37% and USDT at −0.09%.
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, 2026-10-09→2026-10-17T03:15:24; a token with fewer measured points measures a shorter span inside it.
