What the data says
UST
UST on Avalanche at 0x260bbf5698121eb85e7a74f2e45e16ce762ebe11 — "Axelar Wrapped UST" — is a remnant of the TerraUSD collapse carried over a bridge: what was once the dollar-pegged stablecoin now trades around $0.006, kept alive as a speculative claim on nothing in particular.
At the October 6, 2026 snapshot the book reads like an artifact rather than a market: $68 thousand of liquidity against a $80 thousand cap — a pool bigger than the cap, because the price already found its floor — across 1,705 days of history and a few thousand dollars of daily volume. Contract-level controls were not assessed in this snapshot, so the wrapper's levers are unverified.
BEAM
One detail on BEAM didn't fully resolve in the 2026-10-09 snapshot: its contract controls. So it's best treated as unconfirmed rather than assumed clean, and a quick live scan will confirm the current state for you.
Here's where BEAM stands today: a $61.76K pool, a holder base of 11,104 and an established record at 801 days as of 2026-10-09. Against a market cap near $133.79M, that $61.76K 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. The 11,104-wallet base is a reasonable spread of ownership, though a headline count doesn't show whether a few wallets dominate — the concentration read on this page speaks to that. On concentration, the deployer wallet holds just <0.01% of BEAM as of 2026-10-09, so the person who launched it isn't sitting on a dominant share.
FAQ

Which is safer, UST or BEAM?

How have UST and BEAM performed over the shared window?
Between 2026-10-06 and 2026-10-16T21:15:32, the measured snapshots show UST at −13.1% and BEAM at +20.7%.
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, 2026-10-06→2026-10-16T21:15:32; a token with fewer measured points measures a shorter span inside it.
