What the data says
USDC.E
One detail on USDC.E 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.
Market-wise, USDC.E carries $3.18M of on-chain liquidity, 7,909 wallets holding and an established record at 521 days as of 2026-10-09. Against roughly $9.84M in market cap, the $3.18M of liquidity is genuinely healthy: deep enough that ordinary trades clear cleanly, which is exactly what you want to see. A 7,909-holder base is a fair start, but distribution matters more than the count — check how much sits in the largest wallets before leaning on it. On concentration, the deployer wallet holds just <0.01% of USDC.E as of 2026-10-09, so the person who launched it isn't sitting on a dominant share.
USDT.E
USDT.e at 0xc7198437980c041c805a1edcba50c1ce5db95118 is the legacy bridged Tether on Avalanche — the Avalanche Bridge's dollar claim that predates the issuer's own deployment on the chain. The native sibling files on its own page in this index at a far younger record; this contract is the elder book, 1,250 days into it at the October 6, 2026 snapshot.
The snapshot prices a $17.4 million market cap on 17.7 million units — the remains of a liquidity base that mostly migrated to the native mint. Tracked depth of $624.9 thousand is workable for that size on $209.8 thousand of 24-hour volume — a modest but honest book, the shape a superseded claim settles into.

How have USDC.E and USDT.E performed over the shared window?

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, 2026-10-09→2026-10-17T03:15:24; a token with fewer measured points measures a shorter span inside it.
