What the data says
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 September 27, 2026 snapshot reads $232.2 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.
LBTC
LBTC is Lombard's staked Bitcoin — the liquid-staking token that puts BTC to work in Babylon's staking layer while circulating as a DeFi-usable claim, one of the "productive BTC" class that grew out of Babylon's launch. The mint LBTCgU4b3wsFKsPwBn1rRZDx5DoFutM6RPiEt1TPDsY is the Solana deployment; our September 26, 2026 snapshot reads $3.4 million of tracked pool liquidity and grades it A.
The honest mechanics: LBTC is a claim on BTC that's been restaked into Babylon's security model — the yield is Babylon's protocol paying for its security budget, which means the return is emissions-shaped (real but endogenous to the system) rather than external revenue. The custody chain is Lombard's consortium model; on Solana, add the bridge that carried it here.

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, 2026-09-08→2026-09-27T15:10:18; a token with fewer measured points measures a shorter span inside it.
