What is CAD Coin (CADC)?

Is CADC safe?

As of Oct 25, 2026, Pharos grades CADC C- (52/100) on its Safety Score.

That is a middle-band grade: it meets baseline expectations but carries meaningful weaknesses. The grade moves as reserve, redemption, peg and control evidence changes; the live Safety Score on this page shows the current reading.
