What the data says
STETH
stETH is Ethereum's staking receipt, made liquid. Deposit ETH with Lido, receive stETH, and your balance re-bases upward daily as staking rewards accrue — the token that made staking tradable without the 32-ETH validator overhead. The contract at 0xae7ab96520de3a18e5e111b5eaab095312d7fe84 is the canonical deployment; our September 14, 2026 snapshot reads $102.7 million of tracked pool liquidity.
The honest complications: stETH is a claim on staked ETH, not ETH itself — it has traded under par before (June 2022, when withdrawal fears met a leverage unwind), and its value rests on Lido's validator set, Ethereum's exit queue, and the fact that redemptions, not market price, are what ultimately anchor it. A rebase token also confuses some wallets and tax tools — the count in your balance literally changes daily.
CRD
Four billion dollars is what CRD's venue feed claimed the token traded in a single day — on August 19, 2026, when Cirudu was approximately one day old. Put that figure next to the rest of the same snapshot: about $1.99 billion in claimed liquidity, a recorded market capitalization of zero, and no holder count at all. For scale, four billion dollars of daily turnover is what entire major exchanges do; a nameless day-old Base token reporting it while having no measurable owners is describing something that cannot exist. The parsimonious explanation is reported-figure inflation — trading volume manufactured against the token's own pools so that listing feeds repeat impressive numbers.
This page's honest scope: HostDeFi's EVM snapshot grades market structure from those very venue feeds, which is why the incoherence above is the most valuable output the capture produced. The contract itself — mint powers, owner functions, transfer taxes, honeypot mechanics at 0x95735d3f68d045c942afb9ea1090f6b03150bfab — was not assessed in this snapshot, and with a token in this category, the contract is where the actual answer lives. Run the live scan above; it reads the chain, not the feed.

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.
