What the data says
WETH.E
WETH.E is ether carried onto Avalanche through the bridge — the ".e" suffix is Avalanche’s marking for a bridge-minted asset, and the deployment at 0x49d5c2bdffac6ce2bfdb6640f4f80f226bc10bab is that representation of wrapped ether on this chain.
Our October 9, 2026 snapshot counts 14.4 thousand tokens across 83,575 holders — a $42.9 million market cap with $2.3 million of tracked pool liquidity and $23.8 million traded in the last day, deep for the footprint. The 59.4% top-ten share is the shape a bridged asset takes when its float pools in a few large wallets.
USDC.E
One detail on USDC.E didn't fully resolve in the 2026-10-09 snapshot: its contract controls. So rather than assume anything either way, it's worth a direct check, and the scanner above reads it live in a couple of seconds before you trade.
Market-wise, USDC.E carries $3.18M of on-chain liquidity, 7,909 wallets holding and an established record at 521 days as of 2026-10-09. Against roughly $9.84M in market cap, the $3.18M of liquidity is genuinely healthy: deep enough that ordinary trades clear cleanly, which is exactly what you want to see. A 7,909-holder base is a fair start, but distribution matters more than the count — check how much sits in the largest wallets before leaning on it. On concentration, the deployer wallet holds just <0.01% of USDC.E as of 2026-10-09, so the person who launched it isn't sitting on a dominant share.
FAQ
Which is bigger, WETH.E or USDC.E?
By tracked market cap: WETH.E (Avalanche) measures $42.88M and USDC.E (Gnosis) measures $9.84M — dated snapshots, not a live feed.
Which is safer, WETH.E or USDC.E?
On the contract checks we publish: WETH.E (Avalanche) grades B and USDC.E (Gnosis) grades B. A grade is a structural check on the contract, not a promise about the asset.
How have WETH.E and USDC.E performed over the shared window?
Between 2026-10-09 and 2026-10-17T03:15:24, the measured snapshots show WETH.E at −2.86% and USDC.E at −0.22%.
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.
