Selling RSR on exchanges
Selling $100,000 of RSR into each exchange’s resting bids, measured against the mid price:
| Exchange | Lost | Got back | Measured |
|---|---|---|---|
| Coinbase RSR/USD | 7.07% | $92,932 | 2026-10-03 |

Exchange figures need an account there (and KYC, a permitted country, the tokens already deposited), are before trading fees, and are never averaged with the on-chain figure. Binance is not included: it refuses requests from the region our servers are in. How this is measured →
Watch this number instead of remembering it. A free account keeps RSR on a list, records where it stood the day you added it, and emails you if selling it on these exchanges gets materially harder — one message, not a series. The measurement itself stays public; the account is for being told when it moves without you looking.
What Reserve Rights is
Reserve Rights (RSR) is an ERC-20 token that serves two functions within the Reserve protocol: staking to overcollateralize Reserve's stablecoins (called RTokens), and governance over changes to how those RTokens are configured. The token launched in May 2019 following an initial exchange offering on Huobi Prime. Reserve was co-founded by Nevin Freeman and Matt Elder, the latter a former Google and Quixey engineer who oversaw the protocol's technical architecture.
RSR holders can stake their tokens against one or several RTokens, acting as first-loss capital in case an RToken's underlying collateral defaults. In exchange, stakers receive a share of the revenue generated by the RToken they back; the protocol describes staking returns as tending to scale with the market cap of the RToken chosen. Holding RSR does not require staking — it can also be used purely to propose and vote on protocol changes. Total supply is fixed at 100 billion tokens, all pre-mined, with a large portion locked in a "Slow wallet" contract that releases according to a fixed, deterministic schedule rather than all at once.
RSR is not a stablecoin itself and holds no claim on the fiat or crypto assets backing any RToken — it is a staking and governance instrument one step removed from the collateral. Staking is not passive yield: it carries first-loss exposure, meaning staked RSR can be reduced if a backed RToken's collateral fails. Unstaked RSR earns no revenue share at all. The token is classified by data aggregators under DeFi and real-world-asset categories and is deployed across Ethereum, Arbitrum, Base and Energi, which means its behavior and any bridging risk can differ by network. No claim here covers price, exit liquidity, or trading cost — those are measured separately and change independently of what the token is designed to do.
Where RSR lives
On Ethereum, Base and BNB Chain, GoPlus's analysis of each contract is read weekly: whether it has a function to block addresses or pause transfers, and whether an owner holds it. That is GoPlus's reading, not ours. Where a token exists on several chains, one copy's settings say nothing about the original coin.
Always verify a contract address against the project's own site before sending anything. Addresses are shown as published by CoinGecko, not as an endorsement — and identical-looking tokens on other chains are the most common way people lose money here.
