  "summary": "QQQx trades at -30bps versus the QQQ reference price. Circulating supply is 84,591.94 tokens (+0% vs the prior observation). Tracked DEX liquidity totals $3,073,351 across 22 pools. The five largest token accounts hold 81.2% of supply (pools and custodial accounts included). 24h DEX volume of $275,628 implies 0.09x turnover of pooled liquidity.",
  "thesis": "The leading signal this cycle is premium divergence (Token price diverges -30bps 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.",
