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 September 14, 2026 snapshot reads $6.2 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.
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, 2026-09-08→2026-09-17T20:24:07; a token with fewer measured points measures a shorter span inside it.
