What the data says
GMX
GMX at 0xfc5a1a6eb076a2c7ad06ed22c90d7e710e35ad0a is the governance and fee-share token of the GMX perpetuals exchange on Arbitrum — the asset whose stakers earn a cut of the venue's real trading revenue rather than emissions-funded yield. The September 27, 2026 snapshot prices an $88.6 million market cap on the 11.0 million local units, with the $93.0 million fully-diluted figure sitting barely above the cap — a supply nearly fully emitted, the designed scarcity of a hard-capped exchange token.
The local book at this deployment — 194 days into its recorded history — holds $2.6 million of workable tracked depth on $73.4 thousand of daily volume: a book that does its real turnover across the venue's own GLP markets and sister deployments rather than this slice of pools.
LINK
LINK is Chainlink's token — the asset that pays the oracle network most of DeFi runs on, making it one of the few crypto tokens tied to infrastructure the market actually uses every block. The deployment 0x514910771af9ca656af840dff83e8264ecf986ca is the canonical mint; our September 26, 2026 snapshot reads $24.0 million of tracked pool liquidity on this pair set — a fraction of a float spread across every venue that lists it.
The honest shape: LINK's value thesis is payment for oracle services plus stake in the network's security model, so it carries a real-usage floor most tokens lack — and a valuation that has always run ahead of the fees the network actually collects. It is infrastructure exposure, not a cashflow claim, and the gap between "most-used oracle" and "token captures that usage" is the open question its holders are betting on.

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→2026-09-26T18:07:24; a token with fewer measured points measures a shorter span inside it.
