What the data says
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.
CRD
Four billion dollars is what CRD's venue feed claimed the token traded in a single day — on August 19, 2026, when Cirudu was approximately one day old. Put that figure next to the rest of the same snapshot: about $1.99 billion in claimed liquidity, a recorded market capitalization of zero, and no holder count at all. For scale, four billion dollars of daily turnover is what entire major exchanges do; a nameless day-old Base token reporting it while having no measurable owners is describing something that cannot exist. The parsimonious explanation is reported-figure inflation — trading volume manufactured against the token's own pools so that listing feeds repeat impressive numbers.
This page's honest scope: HostDeFi's EVM snapshot grades market structure from those very venue feeds, which is why the incoherence above is the most valuable output the capture produced. The contract itself — mint powers, owner functions, transfer taxes, honeypot mechanics at 0x95735d3f68d045c942afb9ea1090f6b03150bfab — was not assessed in this snapshot, and with a token in this category, the contract is where the actual answer lives. Run the live scan above; it reads the chain, not the feed.

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, 2026-09-15→2026-09-17T20:24:07; a token with fewer measured points measures a shorter span inside it.
