What the data says
PUMP
PUMP is the platform token of pump.fun, the launchpad behind the majority of Solana's memecoin volume — sold in one of 2025's largest public token sales and, at roughly $2.11 billion of circulating market capitalization in the October 6, 2026 snapshot, the biggest token on this page's list by a wide margin. The mint is pumpCmXqMfrsAkQ5r49WcJnRayYRqmXz6ae8H7H9Dfn, held by 266,270 wallets.
The figure to hold beside that mcap is fully diluted value: about $3.77 billion — more than double the circulating number. Over half the eventual supply sits outside the float in team, investor and ecosystem allocations, and that supply arrives on a schedule. A PUMP position is a bet on the platform's cash flows outrunning its own unlock calendar, and that calendar exists whether or not the chart acknowledges it.
AERO
AERO is Aerodrome Finance's token — and Aerodrome is not just another DEX, it is the central liquidity hub of Base: the ve(3,3) emissions engine (a Velodrome fork) that routes rewards to pools by veAERO voter preference, making it the venue where most serious Base liquidity is deposited. The contract 0x940181a94a35a4569e4529a3cdfb74e38fd98631 is the canonical Base deployment; our October 9, 2026 read shows $32.1 million in the tracked pools themselves — a separate number from the far larger volume the exchange routes daily.
The honest shape: AERO's price is a bet on the emissions flywheel — votes direct emissions, emissions attract liquidity, liquidity attracts volume, volume attracts votes. Flywheels run beautifully in both directions, and a token whose demand depends on perpetual emissions demand carries reflexivity risk in full. The ve-lock does damp the circulating float, which is the honest counterweight.

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→2026-10-25T21:34:55; a token with fewer measured points measures a shorter span inside it.
