alUSD is a USD stablecoin issued by Alchemix, launched on 27 Feb 2021.
12.8M alUSD in circulation across 4 chains, 2 of them holding supply bridged from Ethereum. Ethereum carries 65.5%. That is <0.1% of the USD stablecoin supply on the map, 59th largest of 70.
The contracts on the chains listed report 15.2M alUSD in total, before bridged supply is counted once.
Optimism, Arbitrum hold bridged supply: each token there is backed by Ethereum supply, or by a custodian holding it. The total counts each token once, so bridged supply shows on the chain that holds it, marked “bridged from” its source, and comes off the source chain's row.
All USD stablecoins, 30d: the change in DeFiLlama circulating supply summed over the 64 USD stablecoins with a reading at both ends of the window. Wrappers and rebasing stablecoins are left out. It is DeFiLlama’s figure, not a DIA read.
Source: DeFiLlama circulating supply, the series the chart draws, measured against that source’s own past. It is not a change in the onchain supply above. The 7d figure is from DIA first-party onchain reads: the change between two daily snapshots, not mints minus redeems.
Share and rank are against the combined supply of the 70 active USD stablecoins on the map, each valued at DIA’s own read and price where DIA holds one and at DeFiLlama’s circulating figure otherwise. Wrappers are left out, as in every total on the map.

alUSD's typical daily move over the last 90 days was 62 bps, steadier than 4 of 66 other USD stablecoins.
By default alUSD sits beside its largest USD peer by current supply. Add more from the picker below the chart. Figures are in basis points: 100 bps = 1%.
Peg volatility is how much alUSD's price swings around $1 from one day to the next: the standard deviation over 30 or 90 days. A stablecoin that sits steadily at $0.998 scores near zero. Largest deviation is the single day in the last 12 months furthest from $1, signed.
Median of peers, off by default, is the middle value among the peers currently shown; turn it on from the chart's controls.
The ranking counts every active USD stablecoin with at least two daily prices in the last 90 days.
Prices are daily closes at 00:00 UTC, from DeFiLlama with CoinGecko where DeFiLlama has no price. The chart beside this panel plots those same daily closes, so every figure in the table can be found on a line here. DeFiLlama quoted rounded and filled prices until 30 September 2025, so for USDT and USDC the closes before 1 October 2025 are the median of exchange closes instead, and a filled $1.0000 close is left out of the typical move and the largest move.
Stablecoins whose value rises by design, such as savings wrappers, are left out. Their price is a yield curve, not a peg.
Only USD stablecoins are compared. Other currencies are priced through a daily exchange rate fixed at a different time of day from the stablecoin's close. That gap shows up as the same false depeg on every stablecoin of the currency at once.

Daily close against the USD peg, in basis points. Drag the handles under the chart to zoom; a range button resets it. The axis spans -800 bps to +200 bps, set by the middle 98% of the closes in view, so one outlier does not flatten the rest. 1 close sits beyond it, drawn on the edge with a triangle. The tooltip shows the true value.
The dotted vertical lines mark market stress events: days the whole market, or a stablecoin others hold as collateral, came under stress. Seeing every stablecoin on the same shock shows how each peg held. Only events with a published source are marked.
