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.
JUPUSD
JupUSD is Jupiter's own dollar — the stablecoin the Solana DEX aggregator issued (with Ethena's infrastructure behind it) to give its venue a native settlement asset rather than renting someone else's. The mint JuprjznTrTSp2UFa3ZBUFgwdAmtZCq4MQCwysN55USD is the Solana deployment; our September 26, 2026 snapshot reads $19.7 million of tracked pool liquidity and grades it A.
The honest framing: a venue-issued stablecoin's distribution is the venue — JupUSD's depth is guaranteed wherever Jupiter routes, and its incentive is adoption across the same pools this index measures. The risk shape is two-part: the Ethena-style reserve mechanics underneath plus Jupiter's operational role on top; neither is a fiat attestation, and an A grade here is a contract-state verdict, not a balance-sheet one.

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