Flags to weigh
  • upgradeable proxy contract — the code behind the address can be swapped after you buy
  • the pool is large in dollars but thin against this token's own market cap — size an exit against the pool, not the cap
  • contract-level controls not assessed in this snapshot — verify with a live scan
Clean checks
  • contract source code is verified
  • on a major token-security registry's trust list
  • the creator wallet holds under 5% of supply (<0.01%) dev-wallet flags

What the data says about USDT

Tether USD on Arbitrum is the dollar token's deployment on the rollup — the same USDT, circulating under the contract at 0xfd086bc7cd5c481dcc9c85ebe478a1c0b69fcbb9. This snapshot is dated October 9, 2026, and the deployment is 1518 days old.

The figures split two ways: the asset's headline market cap reads $4.1 billion across Tether's footprint, while this deployment's own fully-diluted print is $814.0 million on a supply of 827.2 million tokens. Local depth is the honest weak point — $26.6 million of tracked liquidity reads thin against a token of this size, even with $26.6 million traded in the last day.

A thin local pool on a giant asset is less alarming than it looks — USDT's exits route through every chain and venue, not just this pool — but for a large order on Arbitrum itself, the pool is what a sell meets. Grade B; the row carries no contract-controls read, so minting posture is unmeasured here.

Figures dated October 9, 2026; the live scan refreshes them.

Balance concentration: the 10 largest token accounts hold 38.08% of USDT's supply as of 2026-09-27 — a comparatively wide distribution for its size. Note these are token accounts: liquidity pools, exchange wallets and lockers count among them, so read this together with liquidity, not instead of it.

FAQ

Is USDT a safe token?

As of the 2026-10-09 snapshot, USDT 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 $26.60M and 4,379,108 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 USDT, or is it a honeypot?

Our Arbitrum 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 USDT?

The wallet that created USDT 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 4,379,108; 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 USDT'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 USDT contract address?

The USDT contract address on Arbitrum is 0xfd086bc7cd5c481dcc9c85ebe478a1c0b69fcbb9. 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 USDT safely?

Run the live on-chain scan at the top of this page first; if USDT clears, you can swap it here directly. Whatever venue you use, match the contract address (0xfd086bc7cd5c481dcc9c85ebe478a1c0b69fcbb9) exactly before trading — copying the ticker is how clone scams catch buyers, and the address is the one field they can't fake.
