What the data says
USD1
USD1 at 0x8d0d000ee44948fc98c9b98a4fa4921476f08b0d is World Liberty Financial's dollar — the stablecoin issued by the Trump-affiliated DeFi venture — and the September 26, 2026 snapshot shows how big it has gotten: an asset-wide market cap of $4.4 billion, with the BNB Chain float of 1.4 billion units priced $1.4 billion fully diluted.
$26.5 million of tracked pool liquidity on BNB Chain reads thin against the headline cap — the flag is arithmetic, not alarm — and 24-hour volume prints $2.2 million, quiet turnover for a top-tier stablecoin, which is what a politically-connected settlement asset tends to look like on-chain: held, moved and deployed, not churned. 528 days on the record is young for the asset class but established for a 2025-issue dollar.
AAVE
AAVE is the token of DeFi's biggest lending protocol — the asset that secures Aave's safety module and governs the money market that's been clearing loans continuously since ETHLend in 2017. The deployment 0x7fc66500c84a76ad7e9c93437bfc5ac33e2ddae9 is the canonical mint; our September 26, 2026 snapshot reads $23.3 million of tracked pool liquidity on this pair set — thin against a float that trades everywhere.
The honest shape: AAVE's thesis is unusually concrete for a governance token — stakers backstop protocol shortfalls with their own stake, so the token is literally collateral for the system's solvency, which ties its value to Aave's actual revenue and risk book rather than pure governance vibes. That makes it closer to a productive asset than most of this index — with the caveat that "productive" here still means "exposed to one protocol's loan book."

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, 2026-09-21→2026-09-26T18:07:24; a token with fewer measured points measures a shorter span inside it.
