Sources & Methodology
- YLDS yield: Rate based on SOFR minus 35bps as of May 11, 2026. Yield accrues daily and is paid to holders per the terms of the YLDS prospectus. Past performance does not guarantee future results.
- BUIDL yield: Reflects the BlackRock USD Institutional Digital Liquidity Fund (BUIDL) net yield range as of May 11, 2026. See issuer disclosures at securitize.io/blackrock/buidl Opens in a new window. and live fund metrics at app.rwa.xyz/assets/BUIDL Opens in a new window.. Yields vary and are not guaranteed.
- GENIUS Act status: Based on Figure Certificate Company's interpretation of the GENIUS Act as enacted May 11, 2026. YLDS is treated as an exempt issuer; USDC, USDT, and SDAI are characterized as restricted under the framework. BUIDL is classified as a private security and is not within the stablecoin scope of the GENIUS Act (shown as N/A). Regulatory classifications are subject to change and may be interpreted differently by other parties.
- Required reserves: YLDS and BUIDL maintain required reserves under their respective registered offering structures. USDC publishes monthly third-party attestations of its reserves rather than full audits. USDT and SDAI do not maintain required reserves in the same regulatory sense; their backing models differ and are described in their respective issuer disclosures.
- Valuation: YLDS is issued in certificate units valued at $0.01 each (1 YLDS = 1 Certificate = $0.01 NAV. e.g., 100 YLDS = $1.00 NAV). USDC, USDT, and BUIDL target a $1.00 reference price; SDAI's price varies as it accrues yield via the DAI Savings Rate. Pricing mechanics, redemption procedures, and de-pegging risks differ across products.
