What the data says about WBTC

Where a lot of tokens leave a door open, WBTC has closed both. The contract holds no mint power, so the supply stays honest and predictable, and it can't freeze or block transfers, keeping your ability to sell fully open. Neither lever existing is the main reason WBTC's 85/100 comes down to market factors, not contract ones (2026-10-09).

On the market side, WBTC brings $47.21K of on-chain liquidity, 22,539 holders and an established record at 1,143 days as of 2026-10-09. Set the $47.21K of depth beside roughly $3.77M in market cap and it reads as moderate: comfortable for everyday trades, less so for size that begins to rival the pool itself. A 22,539-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. 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.

Here's what would move WBTC's grade from here: steady growth in real liquidity past $47.21K is the simplest way up; and it would slip if concentration crept up among the 22,539 holders or depth faded. Everything above is a 2026-10-09 snapshot, and the scan at the top refreshes it in seconds whenever you need it.

FAQ

Is WBTC a safe token?

As of the 2026-10-09 snapshot, WBTC scores 85/100 (grade A) on HostDeFi's on-chain read — based on a contract that cannot mint new supply, cannot freeze or blacklist transfers, liquidity of $47.21K and 22,539 holders, with the creator wallet holding <0.01% of supply. That grades contract and market structure, not price direction — a clean read is not a guarantee, so re-scan before trading, since on-chain state can change.

Can you sell WBTC, or is it a honeypot?

The 2026-10-09 contract read found no sell-blocking controls on WBTC — no honeypot flag, no transfer pause, no blacklist — and every honeypot GoPlus positively flags is dropped from this index outright. That clears the contract side; how cleanly an exit fills still depends on your size against the $47.21K of measured depth.

Who holds most of WBTC?

The wallet that created WBTC holds <0.01% of the supply as of 2026-10-09 — a small stake, under the 5% the scanners flag. That sits alongside a holder base of 22,539; a broad base lowers the odds that any one seller can steer the price, but the creator's share is the number to watch first.

Can WBTC's supply be inflated?

No — the contract cannot mint new supply as of the 2026-10-09 snapshot, so the circulating figure is a ceiling.

What is the WBTC contract address?

The WBTC contract address on linea is 0x3aab2285ddcddad8edf438c1bab47e1a9d05a9b4. Always verify a token by its contract address, not its name or ticker — scam clones copy tickers, but the address is unique.

Where can you buy WBTC safely?

Run the live on-chain scan at the top of this page first; if WBTC clears, you can swap it here directly. Whatever venue you use, match the contract address (0x3aab2285ddcddad8edf438c1bab47e1a9d05a9b4) exactly before trading — copying the ticker is how clone scams catch buyers, and the address is the one field they can't fake.
