What the data says about USDC
USDC on BNB Smart Chain — 0x8ac76a51cc950d9822d68b83fe1ad97b32cd580d — is the canonical Binance-Peg USD Coin: Circle's dollar, bridged and held under Binance's peg arrangement, and the contract address above is the one worth memorizing because BSC is littered with USDC-labeled impostors.
The October 9, 2026 snapshot reads $45.4 million of liquidity — tracked pools only, a thin slice of this asset's real footprint, which lives across hundreds of venues and pairs. The honest read is in the price line: $0.9997 against the dollar, dead on par, with roughly $23.7 million of daily volume cycling through those pools. Turnover near 12x pool depth is normal stablecoin physiology — arbitrage and routing flow, not speculation.
At 310 days tracked, this is infrastructure, not a launch. The risks that matter on a pegged asset are not the memecoin set — they are the bridge arrangement's integrity, the issuer's reserves, and the thin chance of depeg under stress, covered in the stablecoin depeg guide. Contract-level controls are the issuer's own and intentionally held.
Figures dated October 9, 2026; the live scan refreshes them.
Balance concentration: the 10 largest token accounts hold 99.53% of USDC's supply as of 2026-09-27 — a heavily concentrated distribution — a handful of accounts can move or exit this market at will. Note these are token accounts: liquidity pools, exchange wallets and lockers count among them, so read this together with liquidity, not instead of it.

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 $45.41M and 4,924,991 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 BNB Chain 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 4,924,991; 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 BNB Chain 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 BNB Chain is 0x8ac76a51cc950d9822d68b83fe1ad97b32cd580d. 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 (0x8ac76a51cc950d9822d68b83fe1ad97b32cd580d) exactly before trading — copying the ticker is how clone scams catch buyers, and the address is the one field they can't fake.
