"Matters" is our weighting of how much each dimension typically drives a real allocation decision. Sort any column to re-rank the tradeoffs by what matters to you.
The short answer
CFG scores higher on safety (65 vs 62), driven mainly by collateral quality and disclosure. CFG has deeper tracked liquidity ($0.00), which is what determines whether you can exit at size.
If both are fiat-reserve tokens, note that holding both is not diversification: they share the same short-dated Treasury and banking exposure. Genuine diversification means mixing collateral structures.
Which one fits your goal: CFG or R25?
Capital preservation over everything else.
For park cash safely, CFG edges out R25 — but it is close enough that either works.
- Safety score 65 vs 62, with collateral rated 55/100.
- Current peg deviation 0.000% against 0.000% for R25.
- No material depeg recorded for CFG in our incident log.
Concentrating in one issuer is a single point of failure regardless of score. Split across collateral structures.

A round trip between CFG and R25 costs roughly the market spread plus venue fees. At 0.0 bps of price gap, swapping $1M implies about $0.00 of price impact before fees — usually only worth it if the peg gap or yield spread is durable, not intraday noise.
Chain coverage
CFG is live on 9 chains, R25 on 1. 1 chains carry both, so bridging is only unavoidable for the 8 networks where just one of them is deployed.

CFG vs R25: frequently asked questions
Is CFG or R25 safer?
+
On our composite safety score CFG rates 65/100 versus 62/100 for R25. The score weighs collateral quality (treasuries vs treasuries), redemption rights, attestation quality, peg history and liquidity depth. A higher score is not a guarantee: both remain issuer-credit and smart-contract exposures, not insured bank deposits.
What is the difference between CFG and R25?
+
Centrifuge Protocol is issued by Centrifuge Protocol (Not documented), backed by treasuries, with redemption terms: gated. R25 is issued by R25 (Not documented), backed by treasuries, with redemption terms: gated. Attestation coverage is "monthly" for CFG and "monthly" for R25.
Which has the bigger market cap, CFG or R25?
+
CFG is larger at $1.64B in circulating supply, against $131.37M for the other. Over the last 7 days supply moved +0.45% for CFG and +0.17% for R25.
Are CFG and R25 trading at $1.00 right now?
+
CFG trades at $1.0000 (0.000% off peg) and R25 at $1.0000 (0.000% off peg). The gap between the two is about 0.0 basis points, which is the cost you pay when rotating size between them before fees.
Has CFG or R25 ever depegged?
+
CFG: no material depeg recorded in our incident set. R25: no material depeg recorded in our incident set. Past peg behaviour under stress is the single best available proxy for how a token trades in the next crisis.
Which is better for large institutional size, CFG or R25?
+
For block size the constraint is exit liquidity and primary redemption, not headline supply. CFG shows deeper on-chain liquidity at $0.00 versus $0.00. Combine that with the redemption channel — CFG: gated; R25: gated — and size trades against the primary window rather than the order book where possible.
Can I earn yield on CFG or R25?
+
Neither CFG nor R25 currently has a tracked yield venue in our dataset. Holding either in a wallet pays nothing; any advertised rate comes from lending or liquidity provision on top, with its own risk.
Which chains support both CFG and R25?
+
Both are deployed on 1 shared network, including Pharos. CFG spans 9 chains in total and R25 spans 1. Bridged supply on a chain is not the same as natively issued supply, and it usually carries the bridge's risk rather than the issuer's.
What does it cost to switch from CFG to R25?
+
Budget three components: the current price spread of roughly 0.0 bps, swap or venue fees, and slippage against available depth ($0.00 for CFG, $0.00 for R25). For meaningful size, redeeming with the issuer and minting the other side is often cheaper than a secondary-market swap.
Is CFG or R25 regulated?
+
CFG is issued from Not documented with monthly; R25 is issued from Not documented with monthly. Regulatory status varies by your own jurisdiction and by whether the token is offered under a specific stablecoin regime, so treat this as a starting point for diligence, not legal advice.
