What the data says
APE
APE — ApeCoin at 0x4d224452801aced8b2f0aebe155379bb5d594381 — is the token of the Bored Ape ecosystem, issued to Yuga Labs' NFT holders at the 2022 peak and governing the APE DAO and its ApeChain ambitions since. It is a brand token of crypto's most famous NFT franchise, priced on what remains of that brand's gravity.
The October 9, 2026 snapshot reads a $141.9 million market cap — fully circulating at the one-billion supply — with $235.5 thousand of tracked on-chain depth and 189,618 holders. That on-chain book is thin for a cap this size: APE's real trading happens on centralized venues, so the price you see on-chain leans on them.
ME
ME is the exchange token of Magic Eden, the NFT marketplace that anchored Solana's NFT era and later went multi-chain — distributed in a December 2024 airdrop to its user base. The October 6, 2026 snapshot shows about $47.7 million of circulating market capitalization across 152,262 holders on mint MEFNBXixkEbait3xn9bkm8WsJzXtVsaJEn4c8Sam21u.
Note the second valuation figure: fully diluted value reads near $77.4 million against the $47.7 million circulating — meaning roughly two-fifths of eventual supply is not yet in the market. Locked and vesting allocations are standard for an exchange token, but they are supply that arrives over time, and a buyer today is pricing tomorrow's unlocks whether they mean to or not.
FAQ

How have APE and ME performed over the shared window?
Between 2026-09-27 and 2026-10-16T21:15:32, the measured snapshots show APE at −5.14% and ME at −21.0%.
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, 2026-09-27→2026-10-16T21:15:32; a token with fewer measured points measures a shorter span inside it.
