This marks a recovery from the -54.6 bps discount observed 9.8 hours prior. The token maintains $2.67M in tracked DEX liquidity with 24-hour volume of $523,982, implying low 0.2x turnover of pooled capital. Supply has remained effectively unchanged at 229,638 tokens, while top-five holder concentration sits at 43.1%.
