Guide

What is a stablecoin dashboard?

A stablecoin is a token meant to stay near one US dollar. This dashboard lists USDC, USDT, DAI, PYUSD, and similar coins by reserve type (fiat-backed, crypto-backed, or other), peg, and main chains, plus the issuer’s official page.

Search a ticker or filter by reserve type. Open the issuer link for attestations and how you redeem dollars. This page does not show a live peg — a stale $1.00 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 mixes on-chain collateral with real-world reserves. Peg breaks are events. Know the redemption path before you park a large balance. Stablecoins on the wrong network still vanish — use the send crypto check before you move them.

Example

USDC vs USDT: what’s the difference?

Filter to fiat-backed. Both coins target $1. Pick the ticker and chain the receiver actually lists.

Circle · ETH, Solana, Base

Shared
Fiat-backed · not a bank

USDT on Tron sent to an Ethereum USDC deposit is a wrong-network loss, not a cheap transfer. Match coin and network on the send check before you sign.

A dated map of major dollar stablecoins — USDC, USDT, DAI, and others — by reserve type, peg, and chain, with links to issuer pages. It is not a live $1.00 ticker.

Both are fiat-backed dollar tokens meant to stay near $1. They differ in issuer, reserve transparency, which chains they use, freeze policy, and where liquidity sits. Neither is a bank deposit.

Sky/DAI now mixes on-chain collateral with real-world reserves. Read current issuer docs; the 2019 crypto-backed model is incomplete.
