What the data says
USDC
Before the market numbers, there's a contract detail on USDC to flag. The mint and freeze levers on USDC's contract is still live as of 2026-09-27, leaving the deployer able to create new supply or freeze transfers for now. Until that changes, USDC stays around 37/100 — worth watching, and an easy win for the project if they remove it.
Here's where USDC stands today: $1.38B of on-chain liquidity, 2,778 wallets holding and 262 days old as of 2026-09-27. Against roughly $11 in market cap, the $1.38B of liquidity is genuinely healthy: deep enough that ordinary trades clear cleanly, which is exactly what you want to see. The 2,778-wallet base is a reasonable spread of ownership, though a headline count doesn't show whether a few wallets dominate — the concentration read on this page speaks to that. Treat the creator's holdings as the headline risk: 72.5% of USDC's supply sits in the deployer's wallet as of 2026-09-27, well past the 'no single holder over 5%' line the scanners use.
ARC
ARC — AI Rig Complex — is an AI-agent framework token on Solana from the agent-framework wave: a Rust-based toolkit for building on-chain agents, priced on whether builders pick its stack. The September 26, 2026 snapshot reads $70.6 million across 45,535 wallets on mint 61V8vBaqAGMpgDQi4JcAwo1dmBGHsyhzodcPqnEVpump.
Framework tokens are the closest thing AI crypto has to a fundamentals story — adoption by other projects is measurable. ARC's cap reflects that positioning: a leading name in the framework cohort, with the sector's usual caveat that narrative outruns usage.

The grade column is the one CMC's compare page cannot print — our grade is computed from the contract itself (mint/freeze authority, liquidity, holder concentration). Changes are measured over the shared window stated on the chart, 2026-09-16→2026-09-27T15:10:18; a token with fewer measured points measures a shorter span inside it.
