What the data says
MUSD
MUSD — MetaMask's USD — is the wallet's own stablecoin: a dollar token aimed at the place its users already live, issued through the M0 infrastructure stack and meant to move between chains as one instrument. The deployment at 0xaca92e438df0b2401ff60da7e4337b687a2435da is on Monad, where our October 9, 2026 snapshot shows $1.7 million of tracked pool liquidity — among the deepest pools we measured on the chain.
What to be honest about: a wallet-issued stablecoin's strength is distribution — every MetaMask user is one tap from it — and its risk is concentration in the issuer's own stack. Backing, redemption and chain-deploy mechanics live with M0 and the contracts behind this address; our snapshot did not assess this deployment's contract-level controls, so the live scan is the place to verify before treating the label as the substance.
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, MUSD or USDT?
By tracked market cap: MUSD (Monad) measures $37.66M and USDT (BNB Chain) measures $9.19B — dated snapshots, not a live feed.
Which is safer, MUSD or USDT?
On the contract checks we publish: MUSD (Monad) 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 MUSD and USDT performed over the shared window?
Between 2026-09-15 and 2026-10-16T21:15:32, the measured snapshots show MUSD at +0.05% and USDT at +0.15%.
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→2026-10-16T21:15:32; a token with fewer measured points measures a shorter span inside it.
