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.
CAKE
PancakeSwap Token (CAKE) is the governance and rewards token of PancakeSwap, the largest decentralized exchange on BNB Chain — the asset its farms, pools and lottery pay out — at 0x0e09fabb73bd3ade0a17ecc321fd13a19e81ce82. This snapshot is dated September 27, 2026.
The deployment is 313 days into this listing's tracked life, with a $891.1 million market cap ($940.1 million fully-diluted) and $18.0 million traded in the last day. Tracked liquidity sits at $32.7 million — workable rather than deep against the market cap, which is typical of an asset whose volume spreads across hundreds of pools and central-exchange order books.

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→2026-09-27T21:19:38; a token with fewer measured points measures a shorter span inside it.
