Control powers

- Transfers can be paused — Someone can pause all transfers, which stops you selling. reported by the security feed
- Wallets can be blocked — Individual wallets can be blocked from selling. reported by the security feed
- Owner still in control — This token still has an owner who can act on it. verified on-chain
- Hidden owner — There is no hidden owner. reported by the security feed

- Buy tax — There is no buy tax. reported by the security feed
- Sell tax — There is no sell tax. reported by the security feed
Liquidity & holders
- No on-chain trading pool found — The market feed lists no on-chain trading pool for this token. It reads decentralized exchanges only, so a token traded solely on centralized exchanges would also read this way. reported by the market feed
- Top holders — The ten largest wallets hold 44% of the supply (excluding the trading pair, burned supply and contract holders), the largest of them 21%. reported by the security feed
- No project-owned trading pool — Not applicable — this token does not have a single project-owned trading pool; it trades in many pools run by other parties, so there is no LP position for its issuer to lock or burn. from the issuer registry
Code & history
- Code published — The contract's source code is published and readable. reported by the security feed
- Resembles code that collapsed — This token's code does not resemble any we watched collapse. read on-chain
- Upgradeable proxy — This contract is not an upgradeable proxy. read on-chain
What matters here
- One wallet owns this contract and can use every owner-only function it has.
- A check that could not run is not a check that passed.
- This covers what the contract code allows - not who is behind the project, or what they intend to do.

What this scan does not establish
- Liquidity control: the check could not reach the deepest observed pool (it said: No trading pair has been observed for this token, so there is no pool whose liquidity can be checked.)
- This is an automated read of public on-chain data and labelled provider feeds at one moment in time. It is not an audit, it does not execute the contract's logic path by path, and a token can change after it is scanned.

About Tether USD
Tether USD (USDT) is a token on Ethereum. No active DEX trading pairs were found at scan time, which can mean the token is pre-launch, delisted, or inactive. An external provider reports roughly 16142710 holders; VetMyToken has not reconstructed the complete holder set. An external provider reports published source code; VetMyToken has not independently verified that source. Contract controls, holder coverage, liquidity control and market quality are assessed separately; market activity does not improve or reduce the security-risk assessment.
