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.
USDC.E
USDC.e at 0xa7d7079b0fead91f3e65f86e8915cb59c1a4c664 is the legacy bridged dollar on Avalanche — the Avalanche Bridge's claim on Ethereum-held USDC, the book that carried the chain's dollar liquidity before Circle's native mint existed. The native sibling files on its own page in this index; this contract keeps the .e suffix that names its origin.
The September 27, 2026 snapshot prices the residual book at a $32.5 million market cap on 32.5 million units — what remains after the native mint absorbed the ticker. Tracked depth of $961.3 thousand is workable for the size, on $172.8 thousand of 24-hour volume, on a record that stretches 1,820 days — the elder of the two USDC-flavored rows this index serves for Avalanche.

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.
