What the data says about USDC
This is the canonical USDC on Arbitrum — the native Circle mint at 0xaf88d065e77c8cc2239327c5edb3a432268e5831, distinct from the bridged USDC.e contract that predates it (0xff97…, which lives on a separate page in this index). The September 15, 2026 snapshot reads $35.1 million of tracked pool liquidity on the native mint.
The address distinction is the whole point of this page: Arbitrum has two stablecoins that both answer to "USDC," and only this one is issued directly by Circle — the .e variant is a bridge claim routed through a third contract. Native is the one DeFi protocols denominate in and the one Circle redeems; bridged is legacy liquidity. Approvals against the wrong contract are how the same ticker costs someone real money.
Figures are HostDeFi's read dated September 15, 2026; the scan verifies this is the native mint, not the bridge.

Is USDC a safe token?
As of the 2026-09-15 snapshot, USDC scores 80/100 (grade B) on HostDeFi's on-chain read — based on its unconfirmed mint authority, unconfirmed freeze authority, liquidity of $35.06M. That grades contract and market structure, not price direction — a clean read is not a guarantee, so re-scan before trading, since on-chain state can change.
Can you sell USDC, or is it a honeypot?
Our Arbitrum read covers market structure, not sell-side contract behaviour like honeypots or transfer taxes, as of 2026-09-15. Before assuming you can exit freely, run the live scan above — it reads the contract directly.
Who holds most of USDC?
Per-wallet distribution for USDC wasn't resolved in the 2026-09-15 snapshot. Run the live scan, which reads holder concentration directly from the chain.
Can USDC's supply be inflated?
This snapshot grades market structure only — contract-level supply controls on Arbitrum aren't assessed here yet. Run the live scanner, which reads the contract in real time.
What is the USDC contract address?
The USDC contract address on Arbitrum is 0xaf88d065e77c8cc2239327c5edb3a432268e5831. Always verify a token by its contract address, not its name or ticker — scam clones copy tickers, but the address is unique.
Where can you buy USDC safely?
Run the live on-chain scan at the top of this page first; if USDC clears, you can swap it here directly. Whatever venue you use, match the contract address (0xaf88d065e77c8cc2239327c5edb3a432268e5831) exactly before trading — copying the ticker is how clone scams catch buyers, and the address is the one field they can't fake.
