What the data says
APXUSD
apxUSD on Ethereum — the synthetic, yield-bearing dollar associated with the APX/Aster perpetuals ecosystem — at contract 0x98a878b1cd98131b271883b390f68d2c90674665. The October 9, 2026 snapshot records about $12.9 million of tracked Ethereum-side liquidity.
Two structures to understand here. First the instrument: apxUSD is not a fiat-backed stablecoin — its backing is a trading strategy (funding-rate/basis exposure run by the issuer), which means the peg's reliability is a function of strategy performance rather than redeemable reserves. Second the venue: apxUSD's home is BNB Chain where Aster's perp business runs; the Ethereum deployment is a secondary venue, and the liquidity on this chain is what you actually trade against.
TRUNK
Elephant Money Stable — TRUNK — is the stablecoin of the Elephant Money protocol, bridged to Solana through Wormhole at mint 9mV4WUukVsva5wYcYW4veo34CNDiF44sh3Ji65JNdvh5. The October 6, 2026 snapshot records about $570 thousand of tracked liquidity, a market capitalization near $966 thousand, and roughly 3,245 holders on the Solana side.
The honest version of this page needs the history on the table: Elephant Money suffered a major exploit in 2022 — tens of millions drained through a flash-loan-assisted manipulation of its bonding mechanics — and TRUNK has spent periods trading below its $1 target since. The protocol rebuilt and the token survives, which says something real about persistence; but a stablecoin's whole product is the peg, and "has depegged before under stress" is the single most relevant fact about one.
FAQ
Which is bigger, APXUSD or TRUNK?
By tracked market cap: APXUSD (Ethereum) measures $314.83M and TRUNK (Solana) measures $965.65K — dated snapshots, not a live feed.
Which is safer, APXUSD or TRUNK?
On the contract checks we publish: APXUSD (Ethereum) grades B and TRUNK (Solana) grades A. A grade is a structural check on the contract, not a promise about the asset.
How have APXUSD and TRUNK performed over the shared window?
Between 2026-09-26 and 2026-10-17T06:15:22, the measured snapshots show APXUSD at +1.78% and TRUNK at −1.34%.
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, 2026-09-26→2026-10-17T06:15:22; a token with fewer measured points measures a shorter span inside it.
