What the data says
PEPE
PEPE is the memecoin that defined 2023 — launched that April as a deliberately utility-free tribute to Pepe the Frog, with the famous 420.69-trillion supply, no transfer tax, a burned LP position and a renounced contract, and inside three weeks it had minted a multi-billion-dollar market cap and forced listings at nearly every major exchange. The canonical mint is 0x6982508145454ce325ddbe47a25d4ec3d2311933; our September 26, 2026 snapshot reads $16.6 million of tracked pool liquidity on this pair set — a slice of total depth that spans virtually every venue that lists tokens.
The honest verdict splits in two, as it does for every attention asset. Structurally, those launch choices are why PEPE grades cleanest among the mega-memes: no mint lever, no transfer tax, a contract the deployer walked away from. Above the chain there is nothing to underwrite — no cashflow, no protocol, no floor — only the meme's durability, which PEPE has outlasted nearly its entire 2023 cohort on. A broad, long-lived holder base means the whale-farm shape of smaller memes does not apply the same way — but "broad" is not "permanent," and the chart still answers to attention alone.
ARC
ARC — AI Rig Complex — is an AI-agent framework token on Solana from the agent-framework wave: a Rust-based toolkit for building on-chain agents, priced on whether builders pick its stack. The September 26, 2026 snapshot reads $70.6 million across 45,535 wallets on mint 61V8vBaqAGMpgDQi4JcAwo1dmBGHsyhzodcPqnEVpump.
Framework tokens are the closest thing AI crypto has to a fundamentals story — adoption by other projects is measurable. ARC's cap reflects that positioning: a leading name in the framework cohort, with the sector's usual caveat that narrative outruns usage.

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.
