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.
PBTC
PBTC — Purple Bitcoin — is a Solana meme token wearing a BTC-adjacent name. The mint HfMbPyDdZH6QMaDDUokjYCkHxzjoGBMpgaUvpLWGbF5p is what our scan tracks: $3.9 million market cap, $152 thousand of liquidity and 14,530 holders as of September 26, 2026.
The disambiguation does the work: PBTC is also the ticker of Threshold's older wrapped-bitcoin product — a real BTC claim on other chains — while THIS PBTC is a Solana meme with no bitcoin behind it. The names collide constantly in the corpus; the mint is the only thing that settles which asset you hold. As a meme it is healthy — wide holders, real pool.

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, 2026-09-08→2026-09-26T18:07:24; a token with fewer measured points measures a shorter span inside it.
