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.
WLD
WLD — 0x163f8c2467924be0ae7b5347228cabf260318753 — is Worldcoin, the identity network's token distributed to people who let an orb scan their iris. Three years in, it remains one of the widest — and most divisive — distributions in crypto.
The October 9, 2026 snapshot reads a $1.9 billion market cap against a fully diluted valuation of $4.9 billion — only about a third of the eventual supply circulates, the rest still locked in the emissions schedule. Tracked on-chain depth is thin for the size at $135.2 thousand; WLD's real liquidity lives on centralized venues. Holders number 64,146, and the day prints -11.1%.

How have TBTC and WLD performed over the shared window?

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, 2026-09-27→2026-10-16T21:15:32; a token with fewer measured points measures a shorter span inside it.
