The short answer
USDF scores higher on safety (59 vs 53), driven mainly by collateral quality and disclosure. USDF has deeper tracked liquidity ($84.37M), which is what determines whether you can exit at size. USDF currently earns up to 0.00% — remember that any rate above the T-bill yield is payment for a risk.
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.
