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.
UNI
UNI is Uniswap's governance token — the asset of the protocol that invented the automated market maker and still clears more DEX volume than the rest of the field combined. The deployment 0x1f9840a85d5af5bf1d1762f925bdaddc4201f984 is the canonical mint; our September 14, 2026 snapshot reads $14.2 million of tracked pool liquidity on this pair set.
The honest asymmetry is the governance-token shape: UNI's thesis is control over a fee-generating machine, but the "fee switch" — the mechanism that would route protocol revenue to holders — has been proposed and deferred for years, so the token trades on governance value and the perennial expectation rather than cashflow it actually pays. That makes its valuation more reflexive than a productive asset's.

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.
