What the data says
RLUSD
RLUSD is Ripple's dollar — the stablecoin Ripple built on its institutional distribution, aimed at the same regulated-treasury ground as USDC and PYUSD but arriving with an exchange network behind it. The deployment 0x8292bb45bf1ee4d140127049757c2e0ff06317ed is the Ethereum mint; our October 9, 2026 snapshot reads $38.1 million of tracked pool liquidity.
The honest shape: RLUSD's reserve is the standard fiat-backed structure — cash and equivalents with attestations — so its risk profile is issuer-shaped (Ripple's solvency, NYDFS oversight, redemption terms) rather than exotic. What distinguishes it is distribution: Ripple's existing payment rails give it corridor utility most new stablecoins lack, though on pure DeFi depth it still trails the majors by an order of magnitude.
FRXUSD
FRXUSD is Frax's dollar — the stablecoin of the protocol that pioneered fractional-algorithmic backing and later migrated to full collateralization, now issued against custodied reserves and yield-bearing positions. The deployment 0xcacd6fd266af91b8aed52accc382b4e165586e29 is the Ethereum mint; our October 6, 2026 snapshot reads $24.4 million of tracked pool liquidity.
The honest arc: Frax started as the algorithmic stable that held its peg with a collateral ratio dial — a design that survived the 2022 stablecoin shakeout where most algorithmics didn't — and the protocol has since moved toward conventional backing, which makes current frxUSD a different risk than its origin story suggests. The evolution is the point of checking the current reserve shape rather than the 2021 reputation.
FAQ
Which is bigger, RLUSD or FRXUSD?
By tracked market cap: RLUSD (Ethereum) measures $2.47B and FRXUSD (Ethereum) measures $108.35M — dated snapshots, not a live feed.
Which is safer, RLUSD or FRXUSD?
On the contract checks we publish: RLUSD (Ethereum) grades B and FRXUSD (Ethereum) grades B. A grade is a structural check on the contract, not a promise about the asset.
How have RLUSD and FRXUSD performed over the shared window?
Between 2026-09-08 and 2026-10-16T21:15:32, the measured snapshots show RLUSD at +0.84% and FRXUSD at +0.40%.
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→2026-10-16T21:15:32; a token with fewer measured points measures a shorter span inside it.
