What the data says
PYUSD
PYUSD is what a stablecoin looks like when it's built for regulators first and DeFi second. PayPal USD is issued not by PayPal directly but by Paxos Trust Company, a New York–chartered trust supervised by NYDFS, with reserves held in dollar deposits, U.S. Treasuries, and equivalents, attested monthly. The Ethereum deployment lives at 0x6c3ea9036406852006290770bedfcaba0e23a0e8, where HostDeFi's September 16, 2026 snapshot records roughly $100 million of tracked pool liquidity and $11 million of daily on-chain volume — modest next to USDC or USDT, in keeping with a coin whose primary life is inside PayPal and Venmo balances rather than on DEXes.
Read the contract powers through the regulated-issuer lens or you'll misread them as red flags. PYUSD's contract can mint (against dollars in), burn (against dollars out), pause transfers entirely, and freeze or even wipe balances at specific addresses under Paxos's asset-protection role. On an anonymous token, that list is a rug in waiting; here it is the legally mandated toolkit of a New York trust company, and NYDFS supervision is precisely the reason those powers exist. The trade you make holding PYUSD is explicit: maximum issuer accountability, in exchange for maximum issuer control.
FKB
Fukabu was one day old when HostDeFi's snapshot caught it on August 19, 2026, and age is the right place to start, because every other number on this page should be read through it. In its first day of existence, FKB's venue feed claimed roughly $2.19 billion of pool liquidity and $2.45 billion of daily volume — depth that would rank it among the largest markets in crypto — alongside a recorded market capitalization of zero and no holder count whatsoever. Genuine markets do not look like this at any age; brand-new ones only look like this when the reporting venue's figures are being inflated, usually by wash trading against self-provided reserves.
What our read did and didn't do here matters. On EVM chains, HostDeFi's snapshot grades market structure from venue data; it does not open the contract. So nothing on this page speaks to whether FKB at 0xe549920f83178586c8536400862f5349c0d2d883 can mint supply, tax transfers, block sells, or be drained by an owner key — the standard failure modes of fresh Base-chain tokens. The B grade reflects only the market inputs the capture carried, and those inputs are precisely what this essay is telling you not to trust.

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, 2026-09-08→2026-09-17T20:24:07; a token with fewer measured points measures a shorter span inside it.
