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 September 16, 2026 snapshot reads $19.9 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.
USDTB
USDtb is BlackRock's tokenized-T-bill answer to Tether — the stablecoin Ethena issues backed by BUIDL fund shares, built to hold a dollar peg with the largest asset manager's fund as the reserve. The deployment 0xc139190f447e929f090edeb554d95abb8b18ac1c is the Ethereum mint; our September 8, 2026 snapshot reads $20 million of tracked pool liquidity.
The honest framing: USDtb's reserve is only as liquid as BUIDL itself — a fund that settles like a security, not a money-market claim, which means redemptions inherit the fund's terms, not a stablecoin's usual instant-exit promise. That is a feature for holders who want T-bill duration and a constraint for anyone assuming redemption is instant.

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.
