What the data says
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.
JPYC
JPYC at 0xe7c3d8c9a439fede00d2600032d5db0be71c3c29 — JPY Coin — is the yen-denominated stablecoin issued by Japan's licensed JPYC operation, and its Polygon row is brand new to this index: one day on the record at the September 21, 2026 snapshot, already carrying 41,397 holders and an asset-wide $134.9 million market cap against a $47.8 million fully-diluted read of the local float.
The measured picture is thin where a stablecoin is usually deep and deep where it is usually quiet: $641.3 thousand of tracked pool liquidity, $49.5 thousand of 24-hour volume, and the ten largest wallets hold 92.7% of supply — a distribution pattern typical of an issuer-managed supply where treasury and redemption contracts dominate the top bracket. The contract is a measured upgradeable proxy, the standard shape for a regulated stablecoin that must stay serviceable.

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.
