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.
FUN
FUN — deployed as FunPay on Polygon — is a 106-day-old payments-branded token at 0x7ee08c0fa1cb2a0ca40f309427d104a0d176eeb9, priced at a $246.4 million market cap against $2.3 million of tracked pool liquidity on the October 9, 2026 snapshot.
The ratio is the story: a nine-figure headline valuation resting on a seven-figure exit book means the price is set at the margin — a modest sell order can move it hard, and the page's own depth flag says so. Contract-level controls weren't evaluated in this snapshot, so mint, pause, and blacklist states stay open questions for the live scan rather than assumptions this page makes.

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→2026-10-15T21:43:45; a token with fewer measured points measures a shorter span inside it.
