Bathymark Analysis Standard
Is the cash layer showing reference stress?
295 of 401 fixed-reference instruments have complete normalized price inputs in a live feed. 78 assessed rows are outside the 50 basis-point band, but partial coverage is not promoted into a market-wide state.

- Market-wide reference state withheld
- Confidence
- low74% of fixed-reference instruments have a normalized price input. All 414 validated list rows already carry current USD market value. The FX receipt for non-USD reference drift is live. Confidence stays separate from the market reading.

Three strongest drivers
- Circulating USD market value$308.02BAcross all 414 validated instruments. DeFiLlama already values each list row in USD as token units multiplied by current USD price.
- Fixed-reference coverage295 of 40174% have the complete price and reference inputs required for a drift reading.
- Outside the 50 bps band78 instruments13 variable-price, custom-reference, or NAV-like instruments are excluded from fixed-price verdicts. Fixed-price rebasing units remain eligible.
Open the 30-second readChange, history, comparison, and implication
What changed
A market-wide historical stress change is withheld until the taxonomy-aware monitor has stored comparable snapshots.
Detail pages retain token-unit history, but Bathymark does not backfill a new aggregate from incompatible legacy one-dollar assumptions.
Is it unusual
A historical percentile is not assigned for this point-in-time monitor.
Longitudinal taxonomy-aware snapshots are required before persistence or rarity can be measured.
How it compares
USDT is the largest visible circulating USD market-value row at $181.98B.
EURS is the largest USD-market-value-weighted stressed row in the current fixed-reference set.
Why it matters
No market-wide implication is assigned until every fixed-reference row has a current normalized price input.
This monitor describes market stress and circulating USD market value. It does not issue a solvency verdict or a trade signal.
Open the evidence trailCounterevidence, invalidation, sources, and method
What argues against this reading
The monitor does not inspect issuer bank balances or current reserve portfolios.
Secondary-market price can remain near a reference even when primary redemption is permissioned or unavailable to a holder.
Token-price and FX observations can have different timestamps, especially for non-USD references.
What would change the call
The market-wide call becomes available when every fixed-reference instrument has a current normalized price input from a live validated feed.
Measured byInstrument-level normalized reference drift, fixed-reference eligibility, source coverage, and the 50 basis-point threshold.

Formula
reference drift bps = (market price USD - reference target USD) / reference target USD * 10,000The formula is applied only to fixed-reference instruments. Variable-price accumulating-NAV units are excluded, while fixed-price rebasing units remain eligible.
