What the data says
AERO
AERO is Aerodrome Finance's token — and Aerodrome is not just another DEX, it is the central liquidity hub of Base: the ve(3,3) emissions engine (a Velodrome fork) that routes rewards to pools by veAERO voter preference, making it the venue where most serious Base liquidity is deposited. The contract 0x940181a94a35a4569e4529a3cdfb74e38fd98631 is the canonical Base deployment; our October 9, 2026 read shows $32.1 million in the tracked pools themselves — a separate number from the far larger volume the exchange routes daily.
The honest shape: AERO's price is a bet on the emissions flywheel — votes direct emissions, emissions attract liquidity, liquidity attracts volume, volume attracts votes. Flywheels run beautifully in both directions, and a token whose demand depends on perpetual emissions demand carries reflexivity risk in full. The ve-lock does damp the circulating float, which is the honest counterweight.
USD1
USD1 at 0x8d0d000ee44948fc98c9b98a4fa4921476f08b0d is World Liberty Financial's dollar — the stablecoin issued by the Trump-affiliated DeFi venture — and the October 6, 2026 snapshot shows how big it has gotten: an asset-wide market cap of $4.4 billion, with the BNB Chain float of 1.4 billion units priced $1.4 billion fully diluted.
$26.5 million of tracked pool liquidity on BNB Chain reads thin against the headline cap — the flag is arithmetic, not alarm — and 24-hour volume prints $2.2 million, quiet turnover for a top-tier stablecoin, which is what a politically-connected settlement asset tends to look like on-chain: held, moved and deployed, not churned. 528 days on the record is young for the asset class but established for a 2025-issue dollar.

The grade column is the one CMC's compare page cannot print — our grade is computed from the contract itself (mint/freeze authority, liquidity, holder concentration). Changes are measured over the shared window stated on the chart, 2026-09-21→2026-10-25T21:34:55; a token with fewer measured points measures a shorter span inside it.
