Stablecoin Dashboard — USDC, USDT, DAI Risk Map
This is a risk map, not a live peg ticker. Open the issuer page for attestations. We do not display a fake $1.00 feed.
| Stablecoin | Peg | Type | Chain focus | Checked |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| USD Coin USDC · Regulated issuer; still has banking, blacklist, and smart-contract operational risk. | USD | Fiat-backed | Ethereum, Solana, Base, + | 2026-08-19 |
| Tether USDT · Deepest liquidity; reserve composition and attestation cadence are the standing debate. | USD | Fiat-backed | Tron, Ethereum, + | 2026-08-19 |
| Sky / DAI DAI · On-chain collateral plus real-world reserves in the modern stack. Names have changed — read current docs. | USD | Crypto-backed | Ethereum | 2026-08-19 |
| PayPal USD PYUSD · Consumer-branded fiat coin. Issuer, redemption path, and freeze policy still matter more than the logo. | USD | Fiat-backed | Ethereum, Solana | 2026-08-19 |
| Ethena USDe USDe · Delta-neutral / funding-dependent design. Peg and yield can both move when funding flips. Not a bank deposit. | USD (synthetic) | Algorithmic / other | Ethereum | 2026-08-19 |
What is a stablecoin dashboard?
A dated risk map of major dollar tokens by issuer type, peg design, and chain focus, with links to primary issuer pages. It is not a live $1.00 ticker. A scraped peg that is twenty minutes late is worse than no number.
USDC and USDT are both fiat-backed dollar tokens. They differ in issuer, reserve transparency, chain mix, freeze policy, and where liquidity sits. Neither is a bank deposit. Sky/DAI now mixes on-chain collateral with real-world reserves; the 2019 crypto-backed mental model is incomplete. Peg breaks are event-driven. Read attestations and know your redemption path instead of staring at a green dot. Stablecoins on the wrong network still vanish — check the send tool before you move them.
