What the data says
WSTETH
wstETH is stETH made legible to DeFi — the same claim on Lido-staked Ether, wrapped so the balance stops moving: where stETH re-bases your token count upward each day, wstETH holds a fixed count and lets the exchange rate against stETH do the appreciating. That is the shape lending markets, bridges and LPs need, which is why the contract at 0x7f39c581f595b53c5cb19bd0b3f8da6c935e2ca0 became the canonical collateral form — our September 27, 2026 snapshot reads $50.3 million of tracked pool liquidity on it.
The verdict therefore inherits stETH's, plus one wrapper-layer note. You hold a claim on staked ETH via Lido — subject to its validator set, Ethereum's exit queue, and stETH's own depeg memory (June 2022, when it traded visibly under par) — and the price shown for wstETH is stETH's price times a steadily growing conversion rate, so it will always quote above ETH while tracking correctly. Nothing about that is a defect; it is the mechanic to understand before reading the quote as a premium.
GMX
GMX at 0xfc5a1a6eb076a2c7ad06ed22c90d7e710e35ad0a is the governance and fee-share token of the GMX perpetuals exchange on Arbitrum — the asset whose stakers earn a cut of the venue's real trading revenue rather than emissions-funded yield. The September 27, 2026 snapshot prices an $88.6 million market cap on the 11.0 million local units, with the $93.0 million fully-diluted figure sitting barely above the cap — a supply nearly fully emitted, the designed scarcity of a hard-capped exchange token.
The local book at this deployment — 194 days into its recorded history — holds $2.6 million of workable tracked depth on $73.4 thousand of daily volume: a book that does its real turnover across the venue's own GLP markets and sister deployments rather than this slice of pools.

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→2026-09-27T18:22:06; a token with fewer measured points measures a shorter span inside it.
