What the data says
SOL
Wrapped SOL is the one token on this site that is barely a token at all. SOL itself — the coin that pays for every transaction on Solana — is not an SPL token, so any program that expects the SPL standard works with this wrapper instead: one wSOL always represents one SOL, held in a token account you can unwrap back to native SOL at any moment. When a DEX route, a lending pool, or a liquidity pair says "SOL," this mint — So11111111111111111111111111111111111111112 — is almost always what it means under the hood.
The safety read here is about as clean as the format allows, and for a structural reason rather than a flattering one. As of the October 6, 2026 snapshot both the mint authority and the freeze authority read revoked: nobody can print unbacked wSOL, and nobody can freeze a wallet's balance. That isn't a team making good choices — it's baked into how the wrapper works, which is exactly why wrapped SOL is the reference point other tokens get measured against. The snapshot puts roughly 3.82 million holders on the mint and about $960 million of tracked liquidity, numbers no ordinary SPL token approaches.
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, SOL or USDT?
By tracked market cap: SOL (Solana) measures $70.79B and USDT (BNB Chain) measures $9.19B — dated snapshots, not a live feed.
Which is safer, SOL or USDT?
On the contract checks we publish: SOL (Solana) grades A and USDT (BNB Chain) grades B. A grade is a structural check on the contract, not a promise about the asset.
How have SOL and USDT performed over the shared window?
Between 2026-09-15 and 2026-10-17T00:15:22, the measured snapshots show SOL at +7.84% and USDT at +0.14%.
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→2026-10-17T00:15:22; a token with fewer measured points measures a shorter span inside it.
