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.
UNI
UNI is Uniswap's governance token — the asset of the protocol that invented the automated market maker and still clears more DEX volume than the rest of the field combined. The deployment 0x1f9840a85d5af5bf1d1762f925bdaddc4201f984 is the canonical mint; our October 9, 2026 snapshot reads $26.9 million of tracked pool liquidity on this pair set.
The honest asymmetry is the governance-token shape: UNI's thesis is control over a fee-generating machine, but the "fee switch" — the mechanism that would route protocol revenue to holders — has been proposed and deferred for years, so the token trades on governance value and the perennial expectation rather than cashflow it actually pays. That makes its valuation more reflexive than a productive asset's.
FAQ
Which is bigger, CRV or UNI?
By tracked market cap: CRV (Ethereum) measures $559.04M and UNI (Ethereum) measures $4.61B — dated snapshots, not a live feed.
Which is safer, CRV or UNI?
On the contract checks we publish: CRV (Ethereum) grades B and UNI (Ethereum) grades A. A grade is a structural check on the contract, not a promise about the asset.
How have CRV and UNI performed over the shared window?
Between 2026-09-27 and 2026-10-16T21:15:32, the measured snapshots show CRV at −0.44% and UNI at −23.5%.
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.
