What the data says
WETH.E
WETH.E is ether carried onto Avalanche through the bridge — the ".e" suffix is Avalanche’s marking for a bridge-minted asset, and the deployment at 0x49d5c2bdffac6ce2bfdb6640f4f80f226bc10bab is that representation of wrapped ether on this chain.
Our September 27, 2026 snapshot counts 14.4 thousand tokens across 83,532 holders — a $38.3 million market cap with $3.1 million of tracked pool liquidity and $23.8 million traded in the last day, deep for the footprint. The 59.4% top-ten share is the shape a bridged asset takes when its float pools in a few large wallets.
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.

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.
