What the data says
TBTC
tBTC is Threshold Network's trust-minimized wrapped Bitcoin — the decentralized-custody answer to WBTC, where a rotating set of node operators secures the BTC rather than a single custodian. The deployment 0x18084fba666a33d37592fa2633fd49a74dd93a88 is the v2 mint; our October 6, 2026 snapshot reads $27.0 million of tracked pool liquidity.
The honest contrast is the whole point of the asset: tBTC trades BitGo's institutional custody for a threshold-signature committee — no single company can lose or freeze the coins, but the security model is cryptographic-economic (operator collateral) rather than legal, which is a different risk shape, not a strictly smaller one. Its depth vs WBTC's billions is the market's honest verdict on how much that trade matters to people.
METAC
METAC on Base — 0xb2000000000000000000008bc8786b856e61707c — is another member of the 0xb200… tokenized-equity family: named "Meta Platforms Inc.", priced $669.44 in the October 9, 2026 snapshot, in line with the underlying stock. $1.4 million of liquidity, roughly $9.9 million of daily volume.
One issuer, one family, many wrappers — that's the structural fact this page exists to state. Each stock-wrapped contract is a separate pool, a separate price, a separate point of failure, even though all share a deployer. The family's shared prefix makes verifying the issuer trivial; it also means a problem at the issuer is a problem for every member at once. Correlated counterparty risk is the cost of the convenience.
FAQ
Which is bigger, TBTC or METAC?
By tracked market cap: TBTC (Ethereum) measures $358.59M and METAC (Base) measures $4.18M — dated snapshots, not a live feed.
Which is safer, TBTC or METAC?
On the contract checks we publish: TBTC (Ethereum) grades B and METAC (Base) grades B. A grade is a structural check on the contract, not a promise about the asset.
How have TBTC and METAC performed over the shared window?
Between 2026-09-14 and 2026-10-16T21:15:32, the measured snapshots show TBTC at +5.18% and METAC at +6.20%.
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, 2026-09-14→2026-10-16T21:15:32; a token with fewer measured points measures a shorter span inside it.
