What the data says
RAY
RAY predates almost everything else on this site. Raydium launched in February 2021 as one of Solana's first serious AMMs, survived the 2022 collapse that took down much of the ecosystem around it, and then caught the largest tailwind in Solana's history: for a long stretch of the memecoin era, graduating pump.fun tokens landed their liquidity on Raydium, making it the venue where the frenzy actually settled. The token at mint 4k3Dyjzvzp8eMZWUXbBCjEvwSkkk59S5iCNLY3QrkX6R carries roughly $538.8 million of market capitalization and 265,730 holders as of the October 6, 2026 snapshot.
Structure first, as always: mint authority revoked, freeze authority revoked. After more than five years on-chain, the supply mechanics hold no surprises — what circulates is what exists, and no authority can lock a holder out of exiting. Tracked on-chain liquidity reads about $19.5 million in this snapshot, healthy in absolute terms and, fittingly for a DEX's own token, much of it sitting in Raydium's own pools.
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 October 6, 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.

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→2026-10-26T21:16:29; a token with fewer measured points measures a shorter span inside it.
