What the data says
CIRBTC
CIRBTC — "Circle Wrapped Bitcoin" on Ethereum, contract 0x72dfb2e44f59c5ad2bafe84314e5b99a7cd5075e — is a token trading at $81,230 per unit — essentially bitcoin's spot price — with an enormous $21.0 million liquidity pool, ~$10.7 million of daily volume, and a $440.5 million market cap across a 948.75-unit circulating supply in the November 6, 2026 snapshot.
The critical question is the name's claim: Circle issues USDC and EURC, and as of this row's data no widely-documented "Circle Wrapped Bitcoin" product exists — Coinbase's cbBTC and BitGo's WBTC are the dominant wrappers. A token pricing itself at BTC's value while claiming Circle issuance is either an emerging legitimate product or a premium-grade impersonation, and the difference is everything.
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 November 6, 2026 snapshot reads $20.1 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.

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, 2026-09-20→2026-11-13T12:15:58; a token with fewer measured points measures a shorter span inside it.
