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.
AS
AS Token at 0x6a92b1e99de09f71cd96bc91f934826d96b8b26e is a 467-day-old Polygon book carrying a $69.4 million headline market cap at the September 27, 2026 snapshot.
The two numbers that matter sit in tension: $4.0 million of tracked liquidity is large in absolute terms but thin against that cap — a position that feels small to you can still be large for the pool, and exits reprice fast. The second gap is structural: contract-level controls were not assessed in this snapshot, so mint, pause and upgrade levers are unverified rather than cleared.

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, 2026-09-21→2026-09-27T15:10:18; a token with fewer measured points measures a shorter span inside it.
