What the data says
ENA
ENA is Ethena's governance token — the asset of the protocol behind USDe, the synthetic dollar that became one of the largest stables on earth by running a delta-neutral hedge rather than holding cash. The deployment 0x57e114b691db790c35207b2e685d4a43181e6061 is the canonical mint; our October 9, 2026 snapshot reads $6.7 million of tracked pool liquidity on this pair set.
The honest shape: ENA's value rides on USDe's durability — a bet on the hedge machinery surviving the negative-funding stress case it was designed for but hasn't fully faced — plus the fee economics of Ethena's stack (USDe, sUSDe, USDtb, and now USDat). It's a governance claim on real, measurable protocol revenue, which puts it a tier above pure attention assets while keeping the tail risk its whole design carries.
STLINK
Staked LINK is LINK deposited into Chainlink's native staking — the token that secures the oracle network's economic guarantees and earns emissions for doing it. The deployment 0xb8b295df2cd735b15be5eb419517aa626fc43cd5 is the staking receipt; our October 6, 2026 snapshot reads $5.4 million of tracked pool liquidity.
The honest shape: stLINK trades LINK's oracle-usage thesis with a staking yield on top and a liquidity discount underneath — the staked form exits slower than the base asset, and the yield is emissions-funded rather than fee-funded, which makes it a bet on the network's token economics holding their value, not on fees it collects.
FAQ
Which is bigger, ENA or STLINK?
By tracked market cap: ENA (Ethereum) measures $2.91B and STLINK (Ethereum) measures $98.68M — dated snapshots, not a live feed.

How have ENA and STLINK performed over the shared window?
Between 2026-09-21 and 2026-10-16T21:15:32, the measured snapshots show ENA at −9.66% and STLINK at +11.0%.
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, 2026-09-21→2026-10-16T21:15:32; a token with fewer measured points measures a shorter span inside it.
