WETH/WCG Base Pool Liquidity Drops $52k To Near Zero
The WETH/WCG trading pair on the Base network experienced a severe contraction in available funds. After reaching a high point just over two weeks ago, the total liquidity has fallen to an insignificant level, indicating that the pool is effectively non-functional for standard traders.
A specific trading venue on the Base blockchain once supported a healthy amount of capital between Wrapped Ether and WCG tokens. That capacity has now evaporated almost entirely, leaving the market with only three dollars in reserves against a recent high of $52,998.
The Event Details
Monitoring tools detected this shift on June 20, 2026, at roughly 3:57 AM UTC. The pool identified by contract address 0xb936e02494e55b78c461442fb36596eed3e11426, deployed by wallet 0x5d5d098000b61252877d2a0ac9ce24f2ef54942f, saw its health score plummet to 20 out of 100. This metric suggests the venue is no longer viable for executing standard trades.
Understanding The Drawdown
The drop from $53k to $3 represents a drawdown exceeding 99%, which effectively means the pool has drained completely. In practical terms, this figure indicates that any remaining funds are likely trapped or removed by an operator rather than being naturally withdrawn through normal market activity.
- Peak liquidity was recorded at $52,998
- Current available capital is just $3
- The health score reflects a critical state of 20/100
Risk Implications
This situation highlights the volatility inherent in newer decentralized finance markets. While on-chain risk flags currently show as okay, such extreme shifts often precede or accompany events where liquidity is removed entirely by a single actor.
