What the data says
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 October 6, 2026 snapshot reads $12.6 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."
JPYC
JPYC at 0xe7c3d8c9a439fede00d2600032d5db0be71c3c29 — JPY Coin — is the yen-denominated stablecoin issued by Japan's licensed JPYC operation, and its Polygon row is brand new to this index: one day on the record at the October 6, 2026 snapshot, already carrying 41,397 holders and an asset-wide $134.9 million market cap against a $47.8 million fully-diluted read of the local float.
The measured picture is thin where a stablecoin is usually deep and deep where it is usually quiet: $641.3 thousand of tracked pool liquidity, $49.5 thousand of 24-hour volume, and the ten largest wallets hold 92.7% of supply — a distribution pattern typical of an issuer-managed supply where treasury and redemption contracts dominate the top bracket. The contract is a measured upgradeable proxy, the standard shape for a regulated stablecoin that must stay serviceable.
FAQ
Which is bigger, AAVE or JPYC?
By tracked market cap: AAVE (Ethereum) measures $2.79B and JPYC (Polygon) measures $134.88M — dated snapshots, not a live feed.
Which is safer, AAVE or JPYC?

How have AAVE and JPYC performed over the shared window?
Between 2026-09-21 and 2026-10-15T21:43:45, the measured snapshots show AAVE at +3.58% and JPYC at −0.23%.
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→2026-10-15T21:43:45; a token with fewer measured points measures a shorter span inside it.
