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.
WBNB
Wrapped BNB is the token form of BNB itself — the same asset, wrapped so BNB Chain contracts and pools can hold it — and the deployment at 0xbb4cdb9cbd36b01bd1cbaebf2de08d9173bc095c is the canonical wrapper the whole chain trades against. This snapshot is dated September 27, 2026.
The contract read is about as clean as the chain produces: mint authority revoked, freeze authority revoked, the contract cannot mint new units, and it is not a proxy, so the deployed code is fixed. 8,361,723 wallets hold it — among the widest bases this index tracks — and the pool carries $676.5 million of tracked liquidity against a $1.2 billion market cap, with $657.5 million changing hands in the last day.

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.
