measured 2026-10-11 · 7 factors evaluated
Here is what the public data shows about Handy, ordered by how strongly each factor contributes to the score:
- Drawdown From All-Time High: Down 97% from its all-time high — among the deepest drawdowns we measure.
- Volume Anomaly: Near-zero volume (0.30% of MCap) — almost nothing trades, so a position of any size would be hard to sell near the quoted price.
- Market Cap Risk: Market cap under $100M — mid-sized; large trades can still move the price.

Risk Factor Breakdown
Each factor is scored independently and weighted to calculate the total risk score.
Drawdown From All-Time High
Price Action
25/25
100%
How far the price sits below its peak. Deep drawdowns are common to abandoned and post-collapse tokens, but also to assets in a prolonged bear market — on its own this measures price history, not conduct.
Volume Anomaly
Trading Signals
15/20
75%
24-hour volume compared with market cap. Very high turnover can reflect genuine news-driven trading or inflated volume; very low turnover means the price is rarely tested. We measure the ratio and cannot attribute it to any party.
Market Cap Risk
Market Structure
3/15
20%
Market capitalisation. The smaller the asset, the less capital it takes to move its price.

How we counted holders here
Ten largest wallets
31.2%
including custodial
Largest private wallets
26.8%
after excluding 2
2 of Handy’s ten largest holders are labelled exchange, market-maker, treasury or vesting, liquidity-pool or DeFi-protocol, staking or vault, bridge, multisig or burn addresses — supply that is custodied, pooled or destroyed rather than sitting in one person’s wallet. Separating them out moves the top-10 figure by 4.4 points. We report the private-wallet figure because that is the supply someone can actually choose to sell today.
Wallets excluded from the top 10
| Address | Classified as | Label | Share |
|---|---|---|---|
| 0x75e8…cb88 | Exchange wallet | MEXC · MEXC: Hot Wallet · HOT WALLET · Exchange · MEXC 1 · MEXC | 5.40% |
| 0x9642…5d4e | Exchange wallet | MEXC · MEXC 21 · Exchange | 2.37% |
Classification applied to the 100 holder records returned for this contract; 98 remained after exclusions · measured 2026-10-11. Custodial wallets are identified by public address labels, so an unlabelled one may still be counted as private — this correction is a floor, not a guarantee.
