What closes the gap — and who closes it
No published rate available from Circle / Hashnote. USYC pricing is rebasing — NAV accretes in token price (~$1.13) — but no oracle and no public attestation of the rate.
What would close it
Circle / Hashnote publishes USYC's daily yield rate at a stable URL.
USYC trades primarily through authorized channels post-Circle acquisition. The Liquidity rubric (DEX depth vs supply) does not apply cleanly.
What would close it
A liquidity rubric tailored to authorized-redemption funds — depth of authorized off-chain redemption channels rather than DEX depth.
USYC has not been published with a recurring reserve attestation since the Circle acquisition in early 2024. No public reserve report URL is currently maintained.
What would close it
Circle publishes a USYC reserve attestation feed at a stable machine-readable URL — similar to its USDC reserves page.
- ·owner() on ShortDurationYieldCoinProxy returned a plain EOA — no Contract tab on Etherscan.
- ·Funded by "Hashnote: Deployer".
- ·Only 3 transactions: 1 funding transfer in, 2 "Upgrade To" calls out to USYC token (314 days ago and 174 days ago).
- ·Single EOA controls UUPS upgrades on ~$3B token — no multisig, no timelock.
Score impact: governance sub-signal: 4/10 (single EOA). upgrade_pattern uups: 3/15. Total governance: 7/25. Material risk: ~$3B controlled by a single key.
- ·Investigated exhaustively 2026-06-01. usyc.hashnote.com redirects to circle.com.
- ·No reserve reports, no attestation PDFs, no public portal found anywhere on circle.com or hashnote.com.
