95 USD Stablecoin coins screened against our 27-point Shariah methodology. Open any report for pillar scores, criterion breakdowns and purification guidance.
USD stablecoins are cryptocurrency tokens designed to maintain a 1:1 value peg with the US dollar, typically issued on smart contract platforms such as Ethereum, Tron, and Solana. They maintain their peg through various mechanisms, including holding reserves of cash and cash equivalents (like short-term Treasury bills) audited or attested to by third parties, over-collateralization with other crypto assets, or algorithmic supply adjustments. Examples include Tether (USDT), USD Coin (USDC), and Dai (DAI), each differing in issuer structure, reserve composition, and degree of centralization.
As with every category we track, coins here are screened individually against our 27-point methodology across the three core pillars — riba (interest), gharar (uncertainty), and maysir (speculation/gambling) — rather than being judged by category label alone. Two coins sharing this tag can land on very different verdicts depending on their specific tokenomics, revenue model, and governance structure. Across the 95 USD Stablecoin coins we've screened, the average Shariah compliance score sits at 50.6/100, with 3% classified Halal, 45% Mashbooh, and 52% Haram.
