  "summary": "CRCLx trades at +72.6bps versus the CRCL reference price. Circulating supply is 821,079.766 tokens (+0% vs the prior observation). Tracked DEX liquidity totals $5,024,868 across 22 pools. The five largest token accounts hold 54.5% of supply (pools and custodial accounts included). 24h DEX volume of $120,099 implies 0.02x turnover of pooled liquidity.",
  "thesis": "The leading signal this cycle is premium divergence (Token price diverges 72.6bps from the reference equity price.) The measurements below are source-verified; interpretation is limited to what the evidence supports.",
  "whyItMatters": "Tokenized equities trade continuously while their reference markets do not. Divergence, liquidity, and activity shifts quantify what that continuous access costs or earns.",
