What the data says
SNX
SNX — 0xc011a73ee8576fb46f5e1c5751ca3b9fe0af2a6f — is the Synthetix Network Token, the collateral asset behind one of DeFi's oldest derivatives protocols, staking into synthetic exposure since 2018.
The October 9, 2026 snapshot reads a $134.3 million market cap — matching a $150.2 million FDV, the supply fully circulating — with 87,753 holders and $95.0 thousand of tracked pool depth. The day prints -5.8%. Depth this thin against the cap is normal for SNX: the staking contract absorbs most of the float, and what trades on-chain is the remainder.
EXA
EXA at 0x1e925de1c68ef83bd98ee3e130ef14a50309c01b — deployed under the lowercase name "exactly" — is the Optimism deployment of the Exactly protocol's asset, 1,156 days into its record at the October 6, 2026 snapshot. The $773.0 thousand market cap prices roughly half of the $1.5 million fully-diluted figure on 9.9 million units.
The book is deep for the small cap and the tape nearly still: $62.4 thousand of tracked depth on $1.0 thousand of 24-hour volume — a held float. Contract-level controls were not assessed in this snapshot.

How have SNX and EXA performed over the shared window?
Between 2026-09-27 and 2026-10-16T21:15:32, the measured snapshots show SNX at −14.4% and EXA at +4.45%.
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.
