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.
SOL
Wrapped SOL is the one token on this site that is barely a token at all. SOL itself — the coin that pays for every transaction on Solana — is not an SPL token, so any program that expects the SPL standard works with this wrapper instead: one wSOL always represents one SOL, held in a token account you can unwrap back to native SOL at any moment. When a DEX route, a lending pool, or a liquidity pair says "SOL," this mint — So11111111111111111111111111111111111111112 — is almost always what it means under the hood.
The safety read here is about as clean as the format allows, and for a structural reason rather than a flattering one. As of the September 26, 2026 snapshot both the mint authority and the freeze authority read revoked: nobody can print unbacked wSOL, and nobody can freeze a wallet's balance. That isn't a team making good choices — it's baked into how the wrapper works, which is exactly why wrapped SOL is the reference point other tokens get measured against. The snapshot puts roughly 3.82 million holders on the mint and about $960 million of tracked liquidity, numbers no ordinary SPL token approaches.

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.
