What the data says
CRV
CRV — Curve DAO Token at 0xd533a949740bb3306d119cc777fa900ba034cd52 — is the governance and incentive token of Curve, the stable-swap AMM that carries a meaningful share of all stablecoin and LST volume on Ethereum. This is a six-year-old protocol token, not a launch, and the honest risks are the ones an established protocol token actually runs: governance economics, emissions, and founder concentration — not honeypot mechanics.
The October 9, 2026 snapshot reads a $559.0 million market cap against an $861.8 million fully-diluted value — roughly two-thirds of eventual supply circulating — with $10.0 million of tracked pool depth and 101,017 holders. Depth at that scale is a real exit book for a retail position.
EXA
EXA at 0x1e925de1c68ef83bd98ee3e130ef14a50309c01b — deployed under the lowercase name "exactly" — is the Optimism deployment of the Exactly protocol's asset, 1,156 days into its record at the October 6, 2026 snapshot. The $773.0 thousand market cap prices roughly half of the $1.5 million fully-diluted figure on 9.9 million units.
The book is deep for the small cap and the tape nearly still: $62.4 thousand of tracked depth on $1.0 thousand of 24-hour volume — a held float. Contract-level controls were not assessed in this snapshot.
FAQ
Which is bigger, CRV or EXA?
By tracked market cap: CRV (Ethereum) measures $559.04M and EXA (Optimism) measures $772.99K — dated snapshots, not a live feed.
Which is safer, CRV or EXA?
On the contract checks we publish: CRV (Ethereum) grades B and EXA (Optimism) grades B. A grade is a structural check on the contract, not a promise about the asset.
How have CRV and EXA performed over the shared window?
Between 2026-09-27 and 2026-10-16T21:15:32, the measured snapshots show CRV at −0.44% and EXA at +4.45%.
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.
