What the data says
AS
AS Token at 0x6a92b1e99de09f71cd96bc91f934826d96b8b26e is a 467-day-old Polygon book carrying a $59.9 million fully diluted valuation at the October 9, 2026 snapshot.
The two numbers that matter sit in tension: $3.7 million of tracked liquidity is large in absolute terms but thin against that valuation — a position that feels small to you can still be large for the pool, and exits reprice fast. The second gap is structural: contract-level controls were not assessed in this snapshot, so mint, pause and upgrade levers are unverified rather than cleared.
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.
FAQ
Which is bigger, AS or WBTC?
By tracked market cap: AS (Polygon) measures — and WBTC (Ethereum) measures $9.63B — dated snapshots, not a live feed.
Which is safer, AS or WBTC?
On the contract checks we publish: AS (Polygon) grades C and WBTC (Ethereum) grades C. A grade is a structural check on the contract, not a promise about the asset.
How have AS and WBTC performed over the shared window?
Between 2026-09-21 and 2026-10-15T21:43:45, the measured snapshots show AS at −62.8% and WBTC at −2.64%.
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→2026-10-15T21:43:45; a token with fewer measured points measures a shorter span inside it.
