What the data says
CRVUSD
CRVUSD is Curve's own stablecoin — minted against collateral deposited into Curve's LLAMMA system, which liquidates gradually across a price band instead of in a single cliff, the design that made it the DeFi stable built for volatile collateral. The deployment 0xf939e0a03fb07f59a73314e73794be0e57ac1b4e is the Ethereum mint; our September 14, 2026 snapshot reads $14.1 million of tracked pool liquidity.
The honest mechanics: LLAMMA's soft-liquidation is genuinely novel — collateral converts to crvUSD gradually as price falls, cushioning the cliff-edge failure mode other CDP systems have. The trade-off is that the peg's quality is a function of Curve's collateral book and liquidation engine rather than a fiat reserve — verifiable on-chain, never guaranteed.
WBTC
WBTC on Arbitrum is the same BitGo-custodied claim as its Ethereum parent, deployed at the canonical L2 address 0x2f2a2543b76a4166549f7aab2e75bef0aefc5b0f. The September 16, 2026 snapshot reads $35.3 million of tracked pool liquidity — the standard wrapped-Bitcoin venue for Arbitrum DeFi.
What a chain hop does and doesn't change: the custody question (BitGo, KYC'd merchants, the mint/burn pipeline) is identical to mainnet WBTC — the L2 deployment is a claim on the same reserve. What does change is the routing surface: L2 liquidity concentrates in fewer pools, so depth reads lower while redemption still routes through the same custodial spine.

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→2026-09-17T20:24:07; a token with fewer measured points measures a shorter span inside it.
