What the data says
ETH
This page tracks native Ether through the 0xeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee placeholder — the convention several DEX aggregators and data APIs use to mean "the chain's own asset" in pair data, since ETH predates ERC-20 and has no contract of its own. Our November 6, 2026 snapshot reads about $113.6 million of tracked pool liquidity attributed to this label — real pools holding real ETH, with one bookkeeping caveat: the same native-asset convention shows up on other chains in this index — Arbitrum's own Ether row uses the all-zeroes address — so per-chain reads of "the ETH row" never quite mean the same slice of pools.
The safety verdict here is the simplest in the corpus: the asset is ETH — no issuer, no mint key, no admin, nothing to rug at the contract layer. The risks are the asset's own — price, network, the L1 itself.
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 November 6, 2026 snapshot reads $93.3 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, 2026-09-26→2026-11-12T21:16:22; a token with fewer measured points measures a shorter span inside it.
