The Register · tokenized COP
What a tokenized COP holder owns
2 tokens issued by 2 programs track ConocoPhillips. They share a ticker and little else. 2 are on file; each row below links the file with the issuer’s own words.
What the holder owns
Every version on file (2) are notes or swaps that pay like the share and carry no rights in it: Ondo Global Markets, rTokens. None gives the holder the ConocoPhillips share itself, and none carries SIPC protection in the wallet.
Who may hold it
No version on file is offered to US persons.
Who can freeze it
In none of the 2 programs with a readable contract does a single private key decide whether a holder can be frozen.
Every version, side by side
| Version | What the holder has | Control | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Token | Program | Owns | Who may hold | Exit | Freeze key held by | Market cap |
| COPON | Ondo Global Markets | Third-party synthetic | Not offered to US persons | Redeem with the issuer in its window | An account only a program can sign for | $37K |
| RCOP | rTokens | Third-party synthetic | Not offered to US persons | Redeem with the issuer in its window | A power exists; its holder was not read | $9K |
Market cap is CoinGecko’s figure on 2026-09-24, for the token itself, not the share it tracks. “Freeze key held by” names the weakest key that can freeze, pause, or claw back a holder, or grant that power, read from the chain.
What the difference means
- Third-party synthetic
- A note or swap that pays like the security and carries no rights in it. Ondo Global Markets, rTokens.
