What the data says
FT
The most important thing to know about FT is its authority setup. As of the 2026-10-09 read, the contract's mint and freeze levers hasn't been removed, which keeps the option open for them to create new supply or freeze transfers. It's the main reason the read sits at 41/100 (grade D) today — and the clearest path to a higher grade is simply removing it.
On liquidity and holders, FT shows a $189.39K pool and a young record at 69 days as of 2026-10-09. Set the $189.39K pool against roughly $72.17M in market cap and the picture sharpens — depth is shallow for the size, so trades move the price more than the chart suggests and getting out cleanly takes care. On concentration, the deployer wallet holds just <0.01% of FT as of 2026-10-09, so the person who launched it isn't sitting on a dominant share.
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, FT or WBTC?
By tracked market cap: FT (Sonic) measures $72.17M and WBTC (Ethereum) measures $9.63B — dated snapshots, not a live feed.
Which is safer, FT or WBTC?
On the contract checks we publish: FT (Sonic) grades D and WBTC (Ethereum) grades C. A grade is a structural check on the contract, not a promise about the asset.
How have FT and WBTC performed over the shared window?
Between 2026-10-09 and 2026-10-15T21:43:45, the measured snapshots show FT at −3.24% and WBTC at −1.40%.
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, 2026-10-09→2026-10-15T21:43:45; a token with fewer measured points measures a shorter span inside it.
