What the data says
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.
CRVUSD
CRVUSD is Curve's own stablecoin — minted against collateral deposited into Curve's LLAMMA system, which liquidates gradually across a price band instead of in a single cliff, the design that made it the DeFi stable built for volatile collateral. The deployment 0xf939e0a03fb07f59a73314e73794be0e57ac1b4e is the Ethereum mint; our October 9, 2026 snapshot reads $186.7 million of tracked pool liquidity.
The honest mechanics: LLAMMA's soft-liquidation is genuinely novel — collateral converts to crvUSD gradually as price falls, cushioning the cliff-edge failure mode other CDP systems have. The trade-off is that the peg's quality is a function of Curve's collateral book and liquidation engine rather than a fiat reserve — verifiable on-chain, never guaranteed.
FAQ
Which is bigger, USDT or CRVUSD?
By tracked market cap: USDT (BNB Chain) measures $9.19B and CRVUSD (Ethereum) measures $209.22M — dated snapshots, not a live feed.
Which is safer, USDT or CRVUSD?
On the contract checks we publish: USDT (BNB Chain) grades B and CRVUSD (Ethereum) grades B. A grade is a structural check on the contract, not a promise about the asset.
How have USDT and CRVUSD performed over the shared window?
Between 2026-09-15 and 2026-10-17T03:15:24, the measured snapshots show USDT at +0.14% and CRVUSD at −0.51%.
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, 2026-09-15→2026-10-17T03:15:24; a token with fewer measured points measures a shorter span inside it.
