What the data says
GNO
One detail on GNO didn't fully resolve in the 2026-10-09 snapshot: its contract controls. So it's best treated as unconfirmed rather than assumed clean, and a quick live scan will confirm the current state for you.
Looking at the market data, GNO shows a $2.54M pool, 38,619 wallets holding and a maturing record at 151 days as of 2026-10-09. Weigh the $2.54M pool against a ~$305.06M cap and one thing stands out — it's a slim pool for the size, so GNO's price is easier to move than its market cap implies, and large size should scale in and out patiently. 38,619 holders is a decent base; just remember the number alone doesn't reveal how much the top wallets control, so weigh it with the concentration figure. The creator's own position is small — <0.01% of supply as of 2026-10-09, comfortably under the 5% line the scanners flag — which is what you want to see.
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, GNO or WBTC?
By tracked market cap: GNO (Gnosis) measures $305.06M and WBTC (Ethereum) measures $9.63B — dated snapshots, not a live feed.
Which is safer, GNO or WBTC?
On the contract checks we publish: GNO (Gnosis) grades B and WBTC (Ethereum) grades C. A grade is a structural check on the contract, not a promise about the asset.
How have GNO and WBTC performed over the shared window?
Between 2026-10-09 and 2026-10-17T03:15:24, the measured snapshots show GNO at −0.63% and WBTC at −2.13%.
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→2026-10-17T03:15:24; a token with fewer measured points measures a shorter span inside it.
