What the data says
METH
One detail on METH didn't fully resolve in the 2026-10-09 snapshot: its contract controls. So rather than assume anything either way, it's worth a direct check, and the scanner above reads it live in a couple of seconds before you trade.
Market-wise, METH carries a $1.65M pool, 16,954 holders and 883 days old as of 2026-10-09. Against a market cap near $583.84M, that $1.65M of liquidity is the real constraint here: a pool this shallow relative to the cap makes slippage, not the contract, the thing to plan around. A 16,954-holder base is a fair start, but distribution matters more than the count — check how much sits in the largest wallets before leaning on it. Reassuringly, the wallet that created METH holds under 5% of supply (<0.01%) as of 2026-10-09 — the deployer hasn't kept an oversized stake to unload.
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.
FAQ
Which is bigger, METH or USDT?
By tracked market cap: METH (Mantle) measures $583.84M and USDT (BNB Chain) measures $9.19B — dated snapshots, not a live feed.
Which is safer, METH or USDT?
On the contract checks we publish: METH (Mantle) grades B and USDT (BNB Chain) grades B. A grade is a structural check on the contract, not a promise about the asset.
How have METH and USDT performed over the shared window?
Between 2026-10-09 and 2026-10-17T03:15:24, the measured snapshots show METH at −2.31% and USDT at −0.09%.
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, 2026-10-09→2026-10-17T03:15:24; a token with fewer measured points measures a shorter span inside it.
