What the data says
USDG
USDG is Paxos's second dollar — the newer stablecoin issued under the same regulated umbrella as PYUSD, but built for the Global Dollar Network, a consortium where the yield on reserves gets shared with the institutions distributing it rather than kept whole by the issuer. On Solana it landed where stablecoins actually move: our October 6, 2026 snapshot shows a market cap of about $670.5 million against 21,226 tracked holders and $41.2 million of on-chain pool liquidity — the deepest profile in this batch, and the reason it grades 100/100.
The honest reading of that grade: a regulated issuer with attested reserves is exactly what the contract side wants, and the distribution deal is why exchanges list it — the incentive that made USDT and USDC entrenched is pointed at growth here. The residual is that "regulated" is a jurisdiction's word for centralized controls: the issuer can freeze balances, and that is a property of the asset, not a defect.
USX
USX is Solana's institutional-grade stablecoin — the dollar issued by Solstice (formerly Solstice Labs) designed to plug into Solana's DeFi stack with yield-bearing variants behind it. The mint 6FrrzDk5mQARGc1TDYoyVnSyRdds1t4PbtohCD6p3tgG is the Solana deployment; our October 6, 2026 snapshot reads $29.5 million of tracked pool liquidity and grades it A — the index's top safety band.
The honest read on the grade: an A here is a contract-state verdict — mint authority revoked, freeze disabled, distribution sane — not a verdict about the issuer's reserves, which live off-chain the way every fiat-backed stablecoin's do. On Solana, USX competes in a crowded field (USDC, PYUSD, USDG, JupUSD) where the moat is integration depth rather than ticker recognition.
FAQ
Which is bigger, USDG or USX?
By tracked market cap: USDG (Solana) measures $670.45M and USX (Solana) measures $216.15M — dated snapshots, not a live feed.
Which is safer, USDG or USX?
On the contract checks we publish: USDG (Solana) grades A and USX (Solana) grades A. A grade is a structural check on the contract, not a promise about the asset.
How have USDG and USX performed over the shared window?
Between 2026-09-08 and 2026-10-17T03:15:24, the measured snapshots show USDG at −0.01% and USX at +0.02%.
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, 2026-09-08→2026-10-17T03:15:24; a token with fewer measured points measures a shorter span inside it.
