What the data says
LPT
LPT at 0x289ba1701c2f088cf0faf8b3705246331cb8a839 — Livepeer Token — is the Arbitrum deployment of the video-transcoding network's work asset, 1,669 days into its record at the September 27, 2026 snapshot. Unusually, most of the measured float lives here: the $67.3 million fully-diluted figure on 37.5 million local units is three-quarters of the asset-wide $88.8 million market cap.
The book is thin for the slice and the tape outruns it: $102.5 thousand of tracked depth on $119.7 thousand of 24-hour volume — turnover above the pool. Contract-level controls were not assessed in this snapshot.
USDE
USDe is Ethena's synthetic dollar — a stablecoin that holds its peg not with bank deposits but with a delta-neutral trade: spot crypto collateral (staked ETH, liquid stables) hedged by short perpetual futures, so the portfolio's dollar value stays flat whatever the market does. The contract 0x4c9edd5852cd905f086c759e8383e09bff1e68b3 is the canonical Ethereum deployment — USDe also exists on Solana under a different mint, where it is one of the deeper stable pools in our corpus. Our September 27, 2026 read shows $14.8 million of tracked pool liquidity on the mainnet venues.
The honest mechanics: USDe's yield is not magic — it is the funding-rate spread between staking yield and the perp market's willingness to pay longs, and that spread can and does go negative. When funding flips, Ethena pays the hedge instead of earning it, and the carry can invert into a slow bleed. The second layer is counterparty: the short positions sit on offshore exchanges through settlement custody, so exchange failures or frozen collateral are real, non-theoretical risks — the design survived the October 2025 liquidation cascade, which is evidence, not a guarantee. It is also not the same risk shape as UST: USDe is fully collateralized at inception; the failure mode is a sustained negative-funding grind plus a custody break, not a mint-redeem death spiral.

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, 2026-09-21→2026-09-27T18:22:06; a token with fewer measured points measures a shorter span inside it.
