What the data says
HLX
HLX — Helix Token on Ethereum, 0x28d4e499c4cde621e1cea7c9cbf9d43bf75a9525 — is a two-month-old token holding $615 thousand of liquidity in the November 6, 2026 snapshot, with roughly $764 thousand of daily volume.
Helix is a recycled name in crypto — it has served as the ticker for a DEX, an exchange, and several unrelated tokens across cycles. On Ethereum the collision matters less than on-chain identity: the contract above is the asset this page tracks, and any other "Helix" is a different instrument.
WBTC
WBTC is the original wrapped Bitcoin — the ERC-20 that put BTC on Ethereum's DeFi rails in 2019, custodied by BitGo with a mint-and-burn pipeline run through KYC'd merchants. The deployment 0x2260fac5e5542a773aa44fbcfedf7c193bc2c599 is the canonical mint, one of the oldest contract addresses in DeFi; our November 6, 2026 snapshot reads $188.5 million of tracked pool liquidity on this pair set — a slice of a float that spans every major venue.
The honest frame is unchanged since launch: holding WBTC means trusting BitGo's custody — the reserve is attested and the mint pipeline is transparent, but the claim is institutional, not cryptographic. Coinbase's cbBTC arrived as the regulated-competitor answer; the two trade the same BTC exposure with different custodians, and the depth split between them is the market's live verdict on whose custody it prefers.

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