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.
Figures are HostDeFi's read dated October 9, 2026; the live scan refreshes them.
Balance concentration: the 10 largest token accounts hold 16.69% of USDT's supply as of 2026-09-27 — a comparatively wide distribution for its size. Note these are token accounts: liquidity pools, exchange wallets and lockers count among them, so read this together with liquidity, not instead of it.

FAQ
Is USDT a safe token?
As of the 2026-10-09 snapshot, USDT scores 75/100 (grade B) on HostDeFi's on-chain read — based on a contract that can mint new supply, cannot freeze or blacklist transfers, liquidity of $548.60M and 80,624,971 holders, with the creator wallet holding <0.01% of supply. That grades contract and market structure, not price direction — a clean read is not a guarantee, so re-scan before trading, since on-chain state can change.
Can you sell USDT, or is it a honeypot?
The 2026-10-09 contract read found no sell-blocking controls on USDT — no honeypot flag, no transfer pause, no blacklist — and every honeypot GoPlus positively flags is dropped from this index outright. That clears the contract side; how cleanly an exit fills still depends on your size against the $548.60M of measured depth.
Who holds most of USDT?
The wallet that created USDT holds <0.01% of the supply as of 2026-10-09 — a small stake, under the 5% the scanners flag. That sits alongside a holder base of 80,624,971; a broad base lowers the odds that any one seller can steer the price, but the creator's share is the number to watch first.
Can USDT's supply be inflated?
Yes — the contract can still mint new supply as of the 2026-10-09 snapshot, so the deployer or a minter role can dilute holders. Treat the circulating figure as a floor, not a cap.
What is the USDT contract address?
The USDT contract address on BNB Chain is 0x55d398326f99059ff775485246999027b3197955. Always verify a token by its contract address, not its name or ticker — scam clones copy tickers, but the address is unique.
Where can you buy USDT safely?
Run the live on-chain scan at the top of this page first; if USDT clears, you can swap it here directly. Whatever venue you use, match the contract address (0x55d398326f99059ff775485246999027b3197955) exactly before trading — copying the ticker is how clone scams catch buyers, and the address is the one field they can't fake.
