Tracked DEX liquidity totals $2,747,951 across 30 pools. The five largest token accounts hold 44.6% of supply (pools and custodial accounts included). 24h DEX volume of $305,906 implies 0.11x turnover of pooled liquidity.",
  "thesis": "The leading signal this cycle is premium divergence (Token price diverges 44.8bps 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.",
