What the data says
USDG
USDG is Paxos's second dollar — the newer stablecoin issued under the same regulated umbrella as PYUSD, but built for the Global Dollar Network, a consortium where the yield on reserves gets shared with the institutions distributing it rather than kept whole by the issuer. On Solana it landed where stablecoins actually move: our September 16, 2026 snapshot shows a market cap of about $609.3 million against 20,746 tracked holders and $35.3 million of on-chain pool liquidity — the deepest profile in this batch, and the reason it grades 100/100.
The honest reading of that grade: a regulated issuer with attested reserves is exactly what the contract side wants, and the distribution deal is why exchanges list it — the incentive that made USDT and USDC entrenched is pointed at growth here. The residual is that "regulated" is a jurisdiction's word for centralized controls: the issuer can freeze balances, and that is a property of the asset, not a defect.
TRUSD
trUSD is a smaller fiat-backed dollar — the stablecoin of a modest issuer in a field where the top three names control almost everything. The deployment 0xd0580192e98ea6ceb9c7b6191ed2e27560911697 is the Ethereum mint; our August 16, 2026 snapshot reads $5.2 million of tracked pool liquidity.
The honest framing for a small stable is different than for a small token: a stablecoin's entire product is trust — attestations, redemption rails, reserve quality — and scale is how that trust gets battle-tested. trUSD's depth is real but the asset class it competes in is one where the incumbents' attestations have been inspected for years and a minor issuer's haven't.

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.
