What the data says
PAXG
PAXG is Paxos's tokenized gold — each token a claim on one fine troy ounce held in LBMA vaults in London, making it the most direct on-chain gold exposure in this index. The deployment 0x45804880de22913dafe09f4980848ece6ecbaf78 is the canonical mint; our September 27, 2026 snapshot reads $20.4 million of tracked pool liquidity.
The honest frame is the custodial one: a PAXG is only as good as Paxos's vault attestations and redemption rails — Paxos is a NYDFS-regulated trust, which puts this in the "institutional-grade claim" bucket alongside USDC rather than the commodity-fantasy bucket — but it is still a claim, and redemption has minimums most wallets will never meet. The token tracks spot gold minus the custody premium; what it cannot track is the deep liquidity of actual gold markets.
BLACK
BLACK at 0xcd94a87696fac69edae3a70fe5725307ae1c43f6 — the BLACKHOLE token — is an Avalanche asset 430 days into its record at the September 27, 2026 snapshot, priced at a $1.8 million market cap sitting effectively equal to its $1.8 million fully-diluted figure on 284.6 million units: the float is out.
19,358 holders share the book, with the ten largest wallets holding 45.8% of supply — a moderate top bracket for the chain. The counterweights sit in the contract: mint authority is still active and new supply can be minted. Freeze authority is revoked, and it is not a proxy. $398.7 thousand of tracked depth reads deep against the small cap, though the $7.9 thousand daily volume is quiet.

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→2026-09-27T15:10:18; a token with fewer measured points measures a shorter span inside it.
