What the data says
APE
APE passes the check that trips up most risky tokens — its contract controls. The contract cannot mint new supply, so the float can't be diluted, and the contract can't pause or block transfers, leaving you free to trade on your own terms. It's a reassuring starting point: 100/100 as of 2026-09-27, with the structural risks already off the table.
Looking at the market data, APE shows a $270.24K pool and a holder base of 189,466 as of 2026-09-27. Set the $270.24K pool against roughly $158.40M in market cap and the picture sharpens — depth is shallow for the size, so trades move the price more than the chart suggests and getting out cleanly takes care. The 189,466-wallet holder base is a genuine strength on top of that: distribution that broad is hard to manufacture, and it means no single wallet quietly owns the float. Reassuringly, the wallet that created APE holds under 5% of supply (<0.01%) as of 2026-09-27 — the deployer hasn't kept an oversized stake to unload.
ME
ME is the exchange token of Magic Eden, the NFT marketplace that anchored Solana's NFT era and later went multi-chain — distributed in a December 2024 airdrop to its user base. The September 26, 2026 snapshot shows about $47.7 million of circulating market capitalization across 152,262 holders on mint MEFNBXixkEbait3xn9bkm8WsJzXtVsaJEn4c8Sam21u.
Note the second valuation figure: fully diluted value reads near $77.4 million against the $47.7 million circulating — meaning roughly two-fifths of eventual supply is not yet in the market. Locked and vesting allocations are standard for an exchange token, but they are supply that arrives over time, and a buyer today is pricing tomorrow's unlocks whether they mean to or not.

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, 2026-09-27→2026-09-27T18:22:06; a token with fewer measured points measures a shorter span inside it.
