What the data says
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 October 9, 2026 snapshot reads $220.7 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.
WEETH
weETH is ether.fi's wrapped eETH — the non-rebasing form of the liquid restaking token that sits on EigenLayer beneath the staking layer, so the holder earns both Ethereum staking yield and restaking yield in one claim. The deployment 0xcd5fe23c85820f7b72d0926fc9b05b43e359b7ee is the canonical mint; our October 9, 2026 snapshot reads $9.7 million of tracked pool liquidity.
The honest mechanics: a restaking token is a claim on ETH that is doing two jobs at once — securing Ethereum's consensus and securing EigenLayer services — which means its risk stack is the union of both: staking slashing, restaking slashing, and ether.fi's own contract layer on top. The yield is real; so is the doubled surface it comes from.
FAQ
Which is bigger, WBTC or WEETH?
By tracked market cap: WBTC (Ethereum) measures $9.63B and WEETH (Ethereum) measures $5.52B — dated snapshots, not a live feed.
Which is safer, WBTC or WEETH?
On the contract checks we publish: WBTC (Ethereum) grades C and WEETH (Ethereum) grades B. A grade is a structural check on the contract, not a promise about the asset.
How have WBTC and WEETH performed over the shared window?
Between 2026-09-08 and 2026-10-17T03:15:24, the measured snapshots show WBTC at +4.24% and WEETH at −3.23%.
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→2026-10-17T03:15:24; a token with fewer measured points measures a shorter span inside it.
