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.
PENDLE
PENDLE on Arbitrum at 0x0c880f6761f1af8d9aa9c466984b80dab9a8c9e8 is the bridged deployment of the yield-tokenization protocol's token — the asset behind the principal-and-yield-splitting market that turned fixed yield into a DeFi primitive. The October 9, 2026 snapshot prices the Arbitrum-local supply of 14.6 million units at $30.8 million fully diluted, against an asset-wide $366.6 million market cap.
$3.1 million of tracked pool depth on this chain is thin measured the way the depth flag measures — against the asset-wide figure — but functional: $632.8 thousand of 24-hour volume moves through it. The 1,293-day record belongs to a token whose liquidity genuinely spans chains, with Ethereum holding the canonical supply and Arbitrum holding the routed share, so the local book is a window on the market rather than the market itself.
FAQ

How have USDT and PENDLE performed over the shared window?
Between 2026-09-21 and 2026-10-17T03:15:24, the measured snapshots show USDT at −0.04% and PENDLE at −23.5%.
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, 2026-09-21→2026-10-17T03:15:24; a token with fewer measured points measures a shorter span inside it.
