What the data says about USDC
One detail on USDC didn't fully resolve in the 2026-10-09 snapshot: its contract controls. So rather than assume anything either way, it's worth a direct check, and the scanner above reads it live in a couple of seconds before you trade.
On liquidity and holders, USDC shows a $1.19M pool, 561,801 wallets holding and 169 days old as of 2026-10-09. The $1.19M pool stands up well to a ~$22.22M cap — depth like that means USDC absorbs normal flow without the price lurching. With 561,801 holders, ownership is spread wide — the opposite of the handful-of-wallets setup that lets one seller steer the price. The creator's own position is small — <0.01% of supply as of 2026-10-09, comfortably under the 5% line the scanners flag — which is what you want to see.
The nice thing about a read like this is that it isn't fixed. More depth than today's $1.19M, with holders staying spread, lifts the read; and it would slip if concentration crept up among the 561,801 holders or depth faded. Since this can move any block, a quick live scan gives you USDC's up-to-the-moment picture.

Is USDC a safe token?
As of the 2026-10-09 snapshot, USDC scores 80/100 (grade B) on HostDeFi's on-chain read — based on a contract that has unconfirmed mint controls, has unconfirmed freeze and blacklist controls, liquidity of $1.19M and 561,801 holders, with the creator wallet holding <0.01% of supply. 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 linea read covers market structure, not sell-side contract behaviour like honeypots or transfer taxes, as of 2026-10-09. Before assuming you can exit freely, run the live scan above — it reads the contract directly.
Who holds most of USDC?
The wallet that created USDC holds <0.01% of the supply as of 2026-10-09 — a small stake, under the 5% the scanners flag. That sits alongside a holder base of 561,801; a broad base lowers the odds that any one seller can steer the price, but the creator's share is the number to watch first.
Can USDC's supply be inflated?
This snapshot grades market structure only — contract-level supply controls on linea 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 linea is 0x176211869ca2b568f2a7d4ee941e073a821ee1ff. 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 (0x176211869ca2b568f2a7d4ee941e073a821ee1ff) exactly before trading — copying the ticker is how clone scams catch buyers, and the address is the one field they can't fake.
