What the data says
PAXG
PAXG is Paxos's tokenized gold — each token a claim on one fine troy ounce held in LBMA vaults in London, making it the most direct on-chain gold exposure in this index. The deployment 0x45804880de22913dafe09f4980848ece6ecbaf78 is the canonical mint; our October 9, 2026 snapshot reads $20.9 million of tracked pool liquidity.
The honest frame is the custodial one: a PAXG is only as good as Paxos's vault attestations and redemption rails — Paxos is a NYDFS-regulated trust, which puts this in the "institutional-grade claim" bucket alongside USDC rather than the commodity-fantasy bucket — but it is still a claim, and redemption has minimums most wallets will never meet. The token tracks spot gold minus the custody premium; what it cannot track is the deep liquidity of actual gold markets.
XHYPE
XHYPE — "Hylo Leveraged HYPE" on Solana, mint 7ga6rtE9qSb3wdEiDCpTu2kHqoGVfT52jD8ign1rYTvx — is a real Hylo product: a leveraged-HYPE token from hylo.so — the structured-products protocol behind xSOL/xBTC — extending the line to the HYPE asset. The October 6, 2026 snapshot reads $1.1 million cap on ~$60 thousand of daily volume — a hot real-product book.
234k units at $1.744 on a 9,005-wallet file is a thin product book; a ~7.5x daily-turnover ratio is real usage — leverage tokens see active trading. Freeze revoked; mint unreported (the protocol manages it).

Changes are measured over the shared window stated on the chart, 2026-09-08→2026-10-17T03:15:24; a token with fewer measured points measures a shorter span inside it.
