What the data says
PEPE
PEPE is the memecoin that defined 2023 — launched that April as a deliberately utility-free tribute to Pepe the Frog, with the famous 420.69-trillion supply, no transfer tax, a burned LP position and a renounced contract, and inside three weeks it had minted a multi-billion-dollar market cap and forced listings at nearly every major exchange. The canonical mint is 0x6982508145454ce325ddbe47a25d4ec3d2311933; our October 6, 2026 snapshot reads $16.6 million of tracked pool liquidity on this pair set — a slice of total depth that spans virtually every venue that lists tokens.
The honest verdict splits in two, as it does for every attention asset. Structurally, those launch choices are why PEPE grades cleanest among the mega-memes: no mint lever, no transfer tax, a contract the deployer walked away from. Above the chain there is nothing to underwrite — no cashflow, no protocol, no floor — only the meme's durability, which PEPE has outlasted nearly its entire 2023 cohort on. A broad, long-lived holder base means the whale-farm shape of smaller memes does not apply the same way — but "broad" is not "permanent," and the chart still answers to attention alone.
USDG
USDG is Paxos's second dollar — the newer stablecoin issued under the same regulated umbrella as PYUSD, but built for the Global Dollar Network, a consortium where the yield on reserves gets shared with the institutions distributing it rather than kept whole by the issuer. On Solana it landed where stablecoins actually move: our October 6, 2026 snapshot shows a market cap of about $670.5 million against 21,226 tracked holders and $41.2 million of on-chain pool liquidity — the deepest profile in this batch, and the reason it grades 100/100.
The honest reading of that grade: a regulated issuer with attested reserves is exactly what the contract side wants, and the distribution deal is why exchanges list it — the incentive that made USDT and USDC entrenched is pointed at growth here. The residual is that "regulated" is a jurisdiction's word for centralized controls: the issuer can freeze balances, and that is a property of the asset, not a defect.
FAQ
Which is bigger, PEPE or USDG?
By tracked market cap: PEPE (Ethereum) measures $1.77B and USDG (Solana) measures $670.45M — dated snapshots, not a live feed.
Which is safer, PEPE or USDG?
On the contract checks we publish: PEPE (Ethereum) grades B and USDG (Solana) grades A. A grade is a structural check on the contract, not a promise about the asset.
How have PEPE and USDG performed over the shared window?
Between 2026-09-08 and 2026-10-16T21:15:32, the measured snapshots show PEPE at +13.2% and USDG at −0.01%.
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→2026-10-16T21:15:32; a token with fewer measured points measures a shorter span inside it.
