What the data says
PENGU
PENGU is what happens when an NFT brand outgrows its JPEGs. Pudgy Penguins spent years building the rare thing in crypto — mainstream distribution, from viral GIF packs to toys on retail shelves — and in December 2024 attached a token to that brand with one of the widest airdrops Solana has hosted. As of the November 6, 2026 snapshot, PENGU carries roughly $514.9 million of market capitalization across 563,555 holders at mint 2zMMhcVQEXDtdE6vsFS7S7D5oUodfJHE8vd1gnBouauv.
The chain-level mechanics read clean: mint authority revoked, freeze authority revoked. Supply is fixed at what exists, and no authority can freeze a wallet out of selling — the two structural failures behind most of the losses this site documents, both absent here. A holder base above half a million wallets, seeded by the airdrop, means ownership is broad in a way most brand tokens never achieve; broad bases don't prevent drawdowns, but they make single-wallet price control much harder.
USDT
USDT on BSC is Tether's dollar on the chain that still clears a meaningful share of stablecoin volume — issued by Binance's peg mechanism under the BEP-20 standard at 0x55d398326f99059ff775485246999027b3197955, the canonical BSC mint. Our November 6, 2026 snapshot reads $478.3 million of tracked pool liquidity.
The honest chain note: this is a pegged representation — the reserve sits with Tether, and the BSC contract is Binance's wrapped issuance of that claim, not a second Tether mint. That makes its risk profile two-layered: Tether's attestation cadence underneath, plus the bridge-custody layer Binance operates on top. For most users the distinction never matters; for anyone holding size it is the entire question.

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, 2026-09-15→2026-11-11T18:19:14; a token with fewer measured points measures a shorter span inside it.
