Cotton
Upland cotton. Competes with polyester, so the oil price sets a soft ceiling on how far it can run.

The front month rolls. Two reads can be two different contracts.
Two ways to launch
Named after cotton
An Argus launch, quoted in USDC. The ticker is a label. No backing, no claim on cotton, no link to ICE Futures US.
Priced in cotton
Not possible for this contract. Its price feed on Arc closes or expires, and a coin quoting a price that stops is a coin quoting a stale one.
Everything under $COTTON
A matching ticker is a coincidence. No backing, no claim on cotton, no oracle.Launch $COTTON
