What the data says
WAVAX
WAVAX at 0xb31f66aa3c1e785363f0875a1b74e27b85fd66c7 is Wrapped AVAX — the ERC-20 form of Avalanche's gas token, one AVAX in and one WAVAX out, existing so C-Chain DeFi can hold the native asset inside contract logic. The September 27, 2026 snapshot grades it A: the contract cannot mint new supply, cannot freeze balances, and is not a proxy. A wrapper should be boring; this one is.
The market structure is anything but quiet: 362,181 holders and $16.9 million of tracked pool depth against a $199.4 million wrapped float of 16.9 million units — and $114.7 million of 24-hour volume, turnover running at several times the pool depth. That is what a gas-asset wrapper is for: it is the settlement leg of the whole chain's trading. The ten largest wallets holding 84.3% of supply is the expected silhouette — DEX pools, bridges and routers dominate the large-holder bracket on a wrapped native token.
BTC.B
BTC.b at 0x152b9d0fdc40c096757f570a51e494bd4b943e50 is the Avalanche Bridge's wrapped-bitcoin claim — the contract literally named "Bitcoin" on this chain, which is exactly why the address matters: the most borrowed name in crypto proves nothing without the mint string behind it.
The September 27, 2026 snapshot prices a $169.5 million market cap on a local supply of 2.0 thousand units — real size for a chain-level book. $3.7 million of tracked depth is workable for that float, and $7.1 million of 24-hour volume is the liveliest tape in this Avalanche batch — a bridged-BTC book that actually turns over, 343 days into its record.

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.
