The front month rolls. Two reads can be two different contracts.
Two ways to launch
Named after copper
An Argus launch, quoted in USDC. The ticker is a label. No backing, no claim on copper, no link to COMEX.
Priced in copper
A pound of copper can back a reference coin — the feed is continuous — but none is deployed yet.
Everything under $COPR
A matching ticker is a coincidence. No backing, no claim on copper, no oracle.Launch $COPR
