What the data says
CAKE
PancakeSwap Token (CAKE) is the governance and rewards token of PancakeSwap, the largest decentralized exchange on BNB Chain — the asset its farms, pools and lottery pay out — at 0x0e09fabb73bd3ade0a17ecc321fd13a19e81ce82. This snapshot is dated October 9, 2026.
The deployment is 313 days into this listing's tracked life, with a $697.1 million market cap ($735.4 million fully-diluted) and $18.0 million traded in the last day. Tracked liquidity sits at $29.6 million — workable rather than deep against the market cap, which is typical of an asset whose volume spreads across hundreds of pools and central-exchange order books.
BNB
BNB on BNB Smart Chain — 0x0000000000000000000000000000000000000000 — is the chain's native asset carried under the null-address convention DEX feeds use for the gas token itself. There is no issuer contract here to audit: the zero address marks BNB itself, not a wrapper, so the entire contract-risk layer that decides most memecoin verdicts simply has nothing to attach to.
The October 9, 2026 snapshot reads $25.9 million of tracked pool liquidity against roughly $2.8 million of daily volume at a $786 unit price. One honest caveat lives inside that number: the venue row the tracker quotes is eight days old — a new pool for a very old asset, so the depth figure describes this one venue's book, not the asset's real exit capacity, which across every venue is far deeper. Grade A on HostDeFi's read.

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→2026-10-16T21:15:32; a token with fewer measured points measures a shorter span inside it.
