What the data says
ALETH
ALETH at 0x3e29d3a9316dab217754d13b28646b76607c5f04 is Alchemix's ETH claim on Optimism — the ether-denominated sibling of the protocol's self-repaying dollar, a receipt whose backing is a yield-bearing ETH position. The September 27, 2026 snapshot prices a $22.1 million asset-wide market cap against a $4.6 million fully-diluted read of the local float — and that float is just 1.7 thousand claims, a small book by any measure.
Inside the small book the depth is real: $2.4 million of tracked pool liquidity reads deep against the local float, on $68.1 thousand of 24-hour volume. The record runs 1,181 days — the same vintage as its dollar sibling, both surviving deployments of a protocol that has long since gone through its hype cycle.
CBBTC
CBBTC — "Coinbase Wrapped BTC" on Ethereum, 0xcbb7c0000ab88b473b1f5afd9ef808440eed33bf — is Coinbase's custodied bitcoin wrapper: each unit a claim on BTC held by the exchange's custody arm.
The September 26, 2026 snapshot reads $90.9 million of liquidity against an $8.06 billion market cap, roughly $5.7 million of daily volume, at an $81,540 unit price that tracks BTC spot.

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, 2026-09-21→2026-09-26T18:07:24; a token with fewer measured points measures a shorter span inside it.
