MOVE vs USUAL
Movement and Usual Protocol scored on the same 25 variables, ranked against the same 251 tokens, with every gap between them shown.
Scoring pass 18 Sept 2026. Market snapshot 7 Oct 2026.
What separates them
MOVE scores 67 of 250 and ranks 238th of 251. USUAL scores 99 and ranks 147th. USUAL leads by 32 points, which is a wide enough margin that the framework is not ambivalent. MOVE takes 0 of the 25 variables, USUAL takes 21, and 4 are level.
2 variables separate them by 3 points or more. USUAL is clear on Protocol Revenue (4 against 1) and Buyback and Burn (4 against 1).
Both score 3 or below on Revenue Trend, Supply Inflation, Vesting Schedule, Insider Selling, TVL Trend, Market Share and 1 more. A weakness both sides share is not a reason to prefer either. It is a reason to check whether the category itself carries the problem.
MOVE still has 55% of its eventual supply to enter circulation against 35% for USUAL. On the same market capitalisation, a buyer of MOVE is taking the 2.22x dilution path and a buyer of USUAL the 1.54x one.
MOVE is valued at $40.6M against $23.6M for USUAL, a 1.7x difference. The smaller of the two scores higher on fundamentals, which is the disagreement worth understanding before either position is taken.
All 25 variables, head to head
Both tokens were scored by the same framework in the same pass, so the numbers are directly comparable. What a comparison adds over two separate pages is the gap: a 6 against a 6 is a non-event, a 9 against a 3 is the reason to hold one and not the other.
