What the data says
OPENAI
OPENAI here is PreStocks' tokenized pre-IPO exposure to OpenAI — the legitimate product, not the imposter OPENAI tickers that litter this corpus on other chains. The mint PreweJYECqtQwBtpxHL171nL2K6umo692gTm7Q3rpgF is what our scan tracks: $2.8 million market cap, $628 thousand of liquidity and 31,338 holders as of September 16, 2026 — the widest holder base in this batch.
Two honesty notes stack. First, like all pre-IPO trackers: OpenAI is private, there is no public tape, and the token prices the issuer's mark — it is exposure to an estimate, not a share. Second, the ticker itself is the trap: unaffiliated "OpenAI" clones exist on several chains. The PreStocks mint is the one that resolves the openai slug here — verify it.
USDC
USDC is crypto's regulated dollar — Circle's token, backed by cash and short Treasuries with monthly attestations, the asset institutional DeFi is settled in. The deployment at 0x26d2d7456121e8806a8fd29cab8a76e59a7f500b reads as a second USDC-branded contract on Ethereum rather than the canonical 0xa0b8…eb48 mint — our September 7, 2026 snapshot shows $639 million of tracked pool liquidity on it regardless, which is the honest oddity of this row: a noncanonical address carrying canonical-tier depth.
That gap between name and address is exactly what the verify step is for. USDC's risk profile is issuer-shaped — freeze controls, blacklists, attestation cadence — but those properties only transfer to the address Circle actually operates. Whether this contract is a Circle deployment, an official migration, or something trading on the name is a question the address answers and the ticker cannot.

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→2026-09-17T20:24:07; a token with fewer measured points measures a shorter span inside it.
