What the data says
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.
FT
The most important thing to know about FT is its authority setup. As of the 2026-10-09 read, the contract's mint and freeze levers hasn't been removed, which keeps the option open for them to create new supply or freeze transfers. It's the main reason the read sits at 41/100 (grade D) today — and the clearest path to a higher grade is simply removing it.
On liquidity and holders, FT shows a $189.39K pool and a young record at 69 days as of 2026-10-09. Set the $189.39K pool against roughly $72.17M in market cap and the picture sharpens — depth is shallow for the size, so trades move the price more than the chart suggests and getting out cleanly takes care. On concentration, the deployer wallet holds just <0.01% of FT as of 2026-10-09, so the person who launched it isn't sitting on a dominant share.
FAQ
Which is bigger, USDT or FT?
By tracked market cap: USDT (BNB Chain) measures $9.19B and FT (Sonic) measures $72.17M — dated snapshots, not a live feed.
Which is safer, USDT or FT?
On the contract checks we publish: USDT (BNB Chain) grades B and FT (Sonic) grades D. A grade is a structural check on the contract, not a promise about the asset.
How have USDT and FT performed over the shared window?
Between 2026-10-09 and 2026-10-15T21:43:45, the measured snapshots show USDT at −0.11% and FT at −3.24%.
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→2026-10-15T21:43:45; a token with fewer measured points measures a shorter span inside it.
