What the data says
LINK.E
LINK.E at 0x5947bb275c521040051d82396192181b413227a3 is the legacy Avalanche Bridge deployment of Chainlink's token — the ".e" suffix marking the older bridge's claim — 1,121 days into its record at the October 9, 2026 snapshot. The asset-wide $9.6 billion market cap dwarfs the $4.7 million fully-diluted figure priced on 365.7 thousand local units.
The local book is thin for the headline: $89.5 thousand of tracked depth on $72.6 thousand of 24-hour volume. Contract-level controls were not assessed in this snapshot.
UST
UST on Avalanche at 0x260bbf5698121eb85e7a74f2e45e16ce762ebe11 — "Axelar Wrapped UST" — is a remnant of the TerraUSD collapse carried over a bridge: what was once the dollar-pegged stablecoin now trades around $0.006, kept alive as a speculative claim on nothing in particular.
At the October 6, 2026 snapshot the book reads like an artifact rather than a market: $68 thousand of liquidity against a $80 thousand cap — a pool bigger than the cap, because the price already found its floor — across 1,705 days of history and a few thousand dollars of daily volume. Contract-level controls were not assessed in this snapshot, so the wrapper's levers are unverified.
FAQ

How have LINK.E and UST performed over the shared window?
Between 2026-09-21 and 2026-10-16T21:15:32, the measured snapshots show LINK.E at −4.56% and UST at −13.3%.
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.
