GMX vs SOL — price, size and safety, side by side

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 November 6, 2026 snapshot prices an $91.1 million market cap on the 11.0 million local units, with the $93.6 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 $358 thousand 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.

SOL

Wrapped SOL is the one token on this site that is barely a token at all. SOL itself — the coin that pays for every transaction on Solana — is not an SPL token, so any program that expects the SPL standard works with this wrapper instead: one wSOL always represents one SOL, held in a token account you can unwrap back to native SOL at any moment. When a DEX route, a lending pool, or a liquidity pair says "SOL," this mint — So11111111111111111111111111111111111111112 — is almost always what it means under the hood.

The safety read here is about as clean as the format allows, and for a structural reason rather than a flattering one. As of the November 6, 2026 snapshot both the mint authority and the freeze authority read revoked: nobody can print unbacked wSOL, and nobody can freeze a wallet's balance. That isn't a team making good choices — it's baked into how the wrapper works, which is exactly why wrapped SOL is the reference point other tokens get measured against. The snapshot puts roughly 3.82 million holders on the mint and about $893 million of tracked liquidity, numbers no ordinary SPL token approaches.
