What the data says
AMWBTC
AMWBTC — Aave's Polygon-market WBTC receipt at 0x5c2ed810328349100a66b82b78a1791b101c9d61 — is not a token you buy so much as a receipt the Aave pool issued when someone deposited WBTC: it tracks a claim on the deposited bitcoin plus accrued interest, priced at $81,051 per unit on a 62-unit supply at the September 27, 2026 snapshot.
The profile fits a receipt token: an upgradeable proxy by design (Aave upgrades market logic behind the same addresses), verified source, $943 thousand of healthy depth, 9,807 holders, and 1,518 days of operation. The ten largest wallets hold about 53.4% of the tiny unit supply — expected, since the biggest depositors hold the most receipts.
AAVE
AAVE is the token of DeFi's biggest lending protocol — the asset that secures Aave's safety module and governs the money market that's been clearing loans continuously since ETHLend in 2017. The deployment 0x7fc66500c84a76ad7e9c93437bfc5ac33e2ddae9 is the canonical mint; our September 26, 2026 snapshot reads $23.3 million of tracked pool liquidity on this pair set — thin against a float that trades everywhere.
The honest shape: AAVE's thesis is unusually concrete for a governance token — stakers backstop protocol shortfalls with their own stake, so the token is literally collateral for the system's solvency, which ties its value to Aave's actual revenue and risk book rather than pure governance vibes. That makes it closer to a productive asset than most of this index — with the caveat that "productive" here still means "exposed to one protocol's loan book."

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.
