What the data says
EURC
EURC is Circle's euro stablecoin on Base — the euro-denominated sibling of USDC, issued under the same regulated-issuer model. The contract 0x60a3e35cc302bfa44cb288bc5a4f316fdb1adb42 is what our scan tracks: $3.4 million of pool liquidity as of September 27, 2026.
The single thing to get right: this token is stable against the euro, not the dollar — its USD price moves with EUR/USD, and a dollar-based holder carries FX exposure either direction. Underneath that sits the standard Circle model — fiat reserves held by the issuer, redemption through Circle's channels, and the issuer's ability to freeze addresses, which is a feature of the regulated model rather than a bug to discover later.
RETH
rETH is Rocket Pool's liquid staking receipt — the decentralized alternative in the ETH-staking market: anyone can run a Rocket Pool "minipool" validator with 8 ETH plus RPL collateral, and rETH appreciates against ETH as rewards accrue. The contract 0xae78736cd615f374d3085123a210448e74fc6393 is the canonical deployment; our September 26, 2026 read shows $11.9 million of tracked pool liquidity, with rETH's deeper venues spread across the wider DeFi stack.
The honest framing: rETH's pitch is credible neutrality — a permissionless operator set rather than one company's validators — and the trade-off is the usual one: a smaller, more fragmented liquidity surface than stETH and its own smart-contract surface (minipool mechanics, oracle DAO) instead of a single issuer's operations. The wrapper price is not ETH's price — it floats on its own exchange rate and has traded at discounts in stress.

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, 2026-09-14→2026-09-26T18:07:24; a token with fewer measured points measures a shorter span inside it.
