Over the past 11.5 hours, liquidity has grown from $724,620 to $801,039 while the premium has oscillated between -35.8 bps and +82.0 bps. The current premium of 33.1 bps sits above the baseline mean of 8.2 bps, though within the observed range. Top five holders control 43.4% of supply, a figure that has remained stable throughout the observation window.
