What the data says
USDC
USDC is the dollar most of Solana actually trades in, and judging it takes a different lens than the one that works on memecoins. This is a centralized, fiat-backed stablecoin: Circle issues it, holds the reserves behind it, and publishes monthly attestations of those reserves. On Solana it lives at mint EPjFWdd5AufqSSqeM2qN1xzybapC8G4wEGGkZwyTDt1v, where the October 6, 2026 snapshot records about $8.6 billion of market capitalization, roughly 5.25 million holders, and around $465 million of tracked pool liquidity — the deepest dollar venue on the chain.
Here is the part that confuses people who learned token safety from rug-checkers: USDC's mint and freeze authorities are live, on purpose, permanently. Circle has to mint new USDC when dollars come in and burn it when they go out — that is what "backed" means mechanically — and it maintains the ability to freeze addresses to comply with sanctions and court orders, which it has used. On a memecoin, a live mint authority is the classic rug lever; on a fiat-backed stablecoin it is the product working as designed. The risk hasn't vanished — it has moved from an anonymous deployer to a regulated company, which is a trade most holders are knowingly making.
EVA
EVA — EverValueCoin at 0x45d9831d8751b2325f3dbf48db748723726e1c8c — is 802 days into an Arbitrum record with a contract that has stayed clean the whole way: it cannot mint new supply, cannot pause or blacklist transfers, source is verified, and the creator wallet holds under 0.01% of supply.
The market structure splits two ways at the October 9, 2026 snapshot. $5.5 million of liquidity is a serious pool in absolute terms but thin against a $818.1 million fully diluted valuation — size an exit against the pool, not the valuation — while the holder side is healthy: 8,567 wallets, with the top ten at about 29.5% — one of the broadest distributions among established tokens this batch.

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→2026-10-17T03:15:24; a token with fewer measured points measures a shorter span inside it.
