About
Independent research on the stablecoins people actually use
Why this report exists
Stablecoins are sold as digital dollars, and they now sit in payment apps, exchanges, brokerage accounts and company treasuries. But they are not all built the same way. Reserves, redemption terms, independent reporting and regulators differ from coin to coin, and pegs have broken before.
Most of the evidence is public, but it is scattered across attestation PDFs, terms of service, blockchain data and agency rulemaking. We collect it, score it under a published methodology, and explain what changed each month, so readers can form their own view. Banks and credit unions get an additional section built around their due-diligence expectations.

Independence and conflicts of interest
Our assessments are useful only if readers can trust that they are disinterested. Issuers cannot pay for coverage, scores or grades, and every subscriber receives the same content at the same time.
Trust Bridge Network
Par & Reserve LLC (in formation) is a wholly owned subsidiary of Block Bridge, Inc. Block Bridge is developing stablecoin settlement infrastructure (Trust Bridge Network). It may in the future have commercial relationships with issuers, blockchains or service providers covered in the Report. An information barrier separates it from research.
