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.
CRVUSD
CRVUSD is Curve's own stablecoin — minted against collateral deposited into Curve's LLAMMA system, which liquidates gradually across a price band instead of in a single cliff, the design that made it the DeFi stable built for volatile collateral. The deployment 0xf939e0a03fb07f59a73314e73794be0e57ac1b4e is the Ethereum mint; our September 26, 2026 snapshot reads $198.2 million of tracked pool liquidity.
The honest mechanics: LLAMMA's soft-liquidation is genuinely novel — collateral converts to crvUSD gradually as price falls, cushioning the cliff-edge failure mode other CDP systems have. The trade-off is that the peg's quality is a function of Curve's collateral book and liquidation engine rather than a fiat reserve — verifiable on-chain, never guaranteed.

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→2026-09-26T06:07:05; a token with fewer measured points measures a shorter span inside it.
