What the data says
PENGU
PENGU is what happens when an NFT brand outgrows its JPEGs. Pudgy Penguins spent years building the rare thing in crypto — mainstream distribution, from viral GIF packs to toys on retail shelves — and in December 2024 attached a token to that brand with one of the widest airdrops Solana has hosted. As of the October 6, 2026 snapshot, PENGU carries roughly $776.5 million of market capitalization across 559,492 holders at mint 2zMMhcVQEXDtdE6vsFS7S7D5oUodfJHE8vd1gnBouauv.
The chain-level mechanics read clean: mint authority revoked, freeze authority revoked. Supply is fixed at what exists, and no authority can freeze a wallet out of selling — the two structural failures behind most of the losses this site documents, both absent here. A holder base above half a million wallets, seeded by the airdrop, means ownership is broad in a way most brand tokens never achieve; broad bases don't prevent drawdowns, but they make single-wallet price control much harder.
SPYX
SPYX is a tokenized S&P 500 — one of Backed Finance's xStocks, designed to track the index ETF's price rather than confer fund shares. The October 6, 2026 snapshot reads $73.7 million across 75,332 wallets on mint XsoCS1TfEyfFhfvj8EtZ528L3CaKBDBRqRapnBbDF2W.
The trust model is custodial: an xStock's claim on the index runs through the issuer holding the underlying exposure off-chain. You get S&P-shaped returns with Solana settlement — and you accept a regulated counterparty where a native asset has none.

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, 2026-09-08→2026-10-17T06:15:22; a token with fewer measured points measures a shorter span inside it.
