Compare provider classifications of stablecoin backing

This classification view groups stablecoins by the backing or peg mechanism reported in the provider dataset. It is designed to reveal the composition of the asset list and the scale of compatible USD-pegged circulation without turning a classification label into a reserve audit.

Public DeFi observations load automatically with JavaScript. Provider timestamps, filters and CSV exports appear with the result.

Read the count and the circulation columns separately

The all-peg asset count includes matching records regardless of their target currency. The supply subtotal includes only records explicitly tagged as USD-pegged with a usable USD-peg circulation amount. Those nominal units are not a market-value estimate or a promise of redemption. Assets with missing mechanism labels remain in an Unclassified group, making incomplete coverage visible rather than silently removing it.

A category can have few names and large supply

Imagine one hypothetical mechanism group with 20 listed assets and another with three. If the first has 2 billion compatible USD units while the second has 80 billion, the first is more numerous but the second is much larger by that supply measure. Sorting or discussing the asset count alone would conceal this difference. Example symbols help identify constituents but do not enumerate every member of a large group.

Use labels to organize an independent review

A provider mechanism label cannot resolve the exact collateral portfolio, custodian arrangements, redemption conditions or changes in a protocol’s design. Two assets under one label may have very different operational dependencies. Use the grouping to choose which issuer or protocol documentation to inspect, then compare supply changes and indicative peg deviations separately. Searching by an asset name narrows the group inputs, so results after a search describe that filtered set rather than the entire stablecoin universe. Preserve this scope when recording or exporting the comparison.
