What the data says
TEL
TEL at 0xdf7837de1f2fa4631d716cf2502f8b230f1dcc32 is Telcoin's remittance asset in its PoS-bridged Polygon form — the payments token aimed at telecom corridors, carried to the chain where its retail flow actually trades. The September 27, 2026 snapshot prices a $172.2 million asset-wide market cap against a $67.1 million fully-diluted read of the local float — 38.3 billion units sitting on this chain.
The book is honest mid-cap shape: $1.4 million of tracked pool depth is workable for the size, on $72.2 thousand of 24-hour volume — a working tape rather than a churn chart. The deployment is 327 days into this index's record.
TBTC
tBTC is Threshold Network's trust-minimized wrapped Bitcoin — the decentralized-custody answer to WBTC, where a rotating set of node operators secures the BTC rather than a single custodian. The deployment 0x18084fba666a33d37592fa2633fd49a74dd93a88 is the v2 mint; our September 27, 2026 snapshot reads $26.6 million of tracked pool liquidity.
The honest contrast is the whole point of the asset: tBTC trades BitGo's institutional custody for a threshold-signature committee — no single company can lose or freeze the coins, but the security model is cryptographic-economic (operator collateral) rather than legal, which is a different risk shape, not a strictly smaller one. Its depth vs WBTC's billions is the market's honest verdict on how much that trade matters to people.

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→2026-09-27T15:10:18; a token with fewer measured points measures a shorter span inside it.
