What the data says
USDT
USDT is the oldest and largest dollar token on the internet — Tether's dollar, the reserve currency of offshore crypto trading since 2014, and the settlement asset most of the industry's volume clears in. The contract at 0xdac17f958d2ee523a2206206994597c13d831ec7 is the canonical Ethereum deployment; our September 16, 2026 snapshot reads $49.8 million of tracked pool liquidity, which is only what our sampler sees — USDT's real depth spans dozens of venues and most of it sits in order books and OTC desks our pool read does not enumerate.
The honest complications are the well-known ones. Tether's attestations are not a full audit, its reserves have historically included things beyond cash, and the contract itself retains freeze and blacklist controls — a stablecoin where the issuer can seize a balance is a different instrument than one that cannot. None of this is new or disqualifying; it is the price of the deepest dollar liquidity in crypto, and the reason the scan above reports what it reports.
RDK
Sometimes the read on a token is defined by what is missing, and Rudake is that case. NexFlow's August 19, 2026 capture of RDK — taken when the token was about one day old — has no holder count, no market capitalization, no mint- or freeze-control assessment, and no identifying history. What it does have is a pair of claims from the listing venue: roughly $1.74 billion in pool liquidity and $2.89 billion in daily volume. When the only two numbers present are the two easiest to fabricate, and every number that is hard to fabricate is absent, the shape of the data is itself the disclosure.
Why those two, specifically? Because screeners and aggregators rank by them. An operator who cycles trades against their own pool manufactures "volume" for the cost of gas; reserve figures arrive via feeds that don't audit what they relay. Holder counts and contract state, by contrast, live on-chain where anyone can check — which is why they are the fields that go missing when the goal is to look large rather than be large.

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, 2026-09-08→2026-09-17T20:24:07; a token with fewer measured points measures a shorter span inside it.
