What the data says
LUSD
LUSD at 0xc40f949f8a4e094d1b49a23ea9241d289b7b2819 is the Optimism-bridged deployment of Liquity's USD — the dollar whose Ethereum original is famously immutable, which makes the local contract posture here the detail that matters. The October 6, 2026 snapshot prices the 110.4 thousand local units at $109.9 thousand fully diluted, inside the asset-wide $26.0 million market cap.
Unlike the governance-free Ethereum contract, this bridged deployment — 1,566 days into its record — still holds an active mint authority and new supply can be minted. Freeze authority is revoked, and it is not a proxy. The book is nearly dormant: $95.8 thousand of thin tracked depth on $689 of 24-hour volume, with 6,714 holders whose ten largest wallets hold 82.0% of supply.
SNX
SNX — 0xc011a73ee8576fb46f5e1c5751ca3b9fe0af2a6f — is the Synthetix Network Token, the collateral asset behind one of DeFi's oldest derivatives protocols, staking into synthetic exposure since 2018.
The October 9, 2026 snapshot reads a $134.3 million market cap — matching a $150.2 million FDV, the supply fully circulating — with 87,753 holders and $95.0 thousand of tracked pool depth. The day prints -5.8%. Depth this thin against the cap is normal for SNX: the staking contract absorbs most of the float, and what trades on-chain is the remainder.
FAQ
Which is bigger, LUSD or SNX?
By tracked market cap: LUSD (Optimism) measures $26.02M and SNX (Ethereum) measures $134.31M — dated snapshots, not a live feed.
Which is safer, LUSD or SNX?
On the contract checks we publish: LUSD (Optimism) grades D and SNX (Ethereum) grades B. A grade is a structural check on the contract, not a promise about the asset.
How have LUSD and SNX performed over the shared window?
Between 2026-09-28 and 2026-10-15T21:43:45, the measured snapshots show LUSD at −0.96% and SNX at −16.2%.
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, 2026-09-28→2026-10-15T21:43:45; a token with fewer measured points measures a shorter span inside it.
