What the data says
UNI
UNI is Uniswap's governance token — the asset of the protocol that invented the automated market maker and still clears more DEX volume than the rest of the field combined. The deployment 0x1f9840a85d5af5bf1d1762f925bdaddc4201f984 is the canonical mint; our October 9, 2026 snapshot reads $26.9 million of tracked pool liquidity on this pair set.
The honest asymmetry is the governance-token shape: UNI's thesis is control over a fee-generating machine, but the "fee switch" — the mechanism that would route protocol revenue to holders — has been proposed and deferred for years, so the token trades on governance value and the perennial expectation rather than cashflow it actually pays. That makes its valuation more reflexive than a productive asset's.
CBBTC
CBBTC — "Coinbase Wrapped BTC" on Ethereum, 0xcbb7c0000ab88b473b1f5afd9ef808440eed33bf — is Coinbase's custodied bitcoin wrapper: each unit a claim on BTC held by the exchange's custody arm.
The October 9, 2026 snapshot reads $77.4 million of liquidity against an $8.06 billion market cap, roughly $5.7 million of daily volume, at an $81,540 unit price that tracks BTC spot.

Which is safer, UNI or CBBTC?

How have UNI and CBBTC performed over the shared window?
Between 2026-09-08 and 2026-10-16T21:15:32, the measured snapshots show UNI at +7.35% and CBBTC at +4.50%.
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, 2026-09-08→2026-10-16T21:15:32; a token with fewer measured points measures a shorter span inside it.
