What the data says
OPENAI
OPENAI starts from a genuinely strong place at the contract level. The contract cannot mint new supply, so the float can't be diluted, and with no transfer pause in the contract either, your exit stays open whenever you choose to take it. With the contract side handled, everything left to think about is ordinary market risk (90/100, 2026-10-09).
On the trading data, OPENAI shows deep liquidity of $9.03M, 5,065 wallets holding and a brand-new 0-day history as of 2026-10-09. Against roughly $2.55M in market cap, the $9.03M of liquidity is genuinely healthy: deep enough that ordinary trades clear cleanly, which is exactly what you want to see. The 5,065-wallet base is a reasonable spread of ownership, though a headline count doesn't show whether a few wallets dominate — the concentration read on this page speaks to that. Reassuringly, the wallet that created OPENAI holds under 5% of supply (<0.01%) as of 2026-10-09 — the deployer hasn't kept an oversized stake to unload.
MSUSD
msUSD is Metronome Synth's synthetic dollar — you deposit volatile collateral (ETH, BTC wrappers) into the Synth engine and mint dollar-denominated synthetic positions against it. The contract 0x526728dbc96689597f85ae4cd716d4f7fccbae9d is the Base deployment our scan tracks, at $5.2 million of pool liquidity as of October 6, 2026.
The honest note, stated plainly: a synthetic dollar is not a stablecoin — msUSD can and does trade off its one-dollar mark (our current read shows it well below), because its price is set by pool dynamics and mint-redemption incentives, not by an issuer redeeming at par. That is a different risk class from USDC or USDT — hold it as a leveraged-collateral instrument, not as cash.

Between 2026-09-26 and 2026-10-02, the measured snapshots show OPENAI at −98.1% and MSUSD at −0.99%.
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, 2026-09-26→2026-10-02; a token with fewer measured points measures a shorter span inside it.
