What the data says
ARB
ARB is Arbitrum's own token — the governance asset of the largest Ethereum L2, the chain most of this index's Arbitrum-side liquidity actually lives on. The deployment 0x912ce59144191c1204e64559fe8253a0e49e6548 is the canonical mint; our September 16, 2026 snapshot reads $1.5 million of tracked pool liquidity.
The honest asymmetry: ARB's market value rides on the chain it governs being worth governing — the token's thesis is Arbitrum's sequencer revenue, its DAO treasury, and the chain's continued dominance in L2 DeFi, none of which a liquidity snapshot can confirm or deny. What the snapshot does show is that ARB's on-chain depth is concentrated and modest relative to the chain's own TVL — most ARB trades happen off-chain or on the chain's own DEX infrastructure in pairs this index doesn't fully see.
FKB
Fukabu was one day old when HostDeFi's snapshot caught it on August 19, 2026, and age is the right place to start, because every other number on this page should be read through it. In its first day of existence, FKB's venue feed claimed roughly $2.19 billion of pool liquidity and $2.45 billion of daily volume — depth that would rank it among the largest markets in crypto — alongside a recorded market capitalization of zero and no holder count whatsoever. Genuine markets do not look like this at any age; brand-new ones only look like this when the reporting venue's figures are being inflated, usually by wash trading against self-provided reserves.
What our read did and didn't do here matters. On EVM chains, HostDeFi's snapshot grades market structure from venue data; it does not open the contract. So nothing on this page speaks to whether FKB at 0xe549920f83178586c8536400862f5349c0d2d883 can mint supply, tax transfers, block sells, or be drained by an owner key — the standard failure modes of fresh Base-chain tokens. The B grade reflects only the market inputs the capture carried, and those inputs are precisely what this essay is telling you not to trust.

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, 2026-09-15→2026-09-17T20:24:07; a token with fewer measured points measures a shorter span inside it.
