    "summary": "CRCLx trades at +76.86 basis points above its 75.01 USD reference price, a material expansion from the 11.5-hour baseline average of 8.92 bps. The 5.14M USD liquidity pool supported 4.01M USD in 24-hour volume (0.78x turnover) while the token appreciated 6.73%. Top 5 holders maintain 53.65% supply concentration.",
