EXPLAINED REPORT

Market

At the frozen observation, $TAO price was $264.17. The recorded 24h move was -3.52%; 24h volume was $114,484,700.04.

Open Interest was $22,215,020.20 (-8.25% over 24h). Funding was 0.01%. These are market and derivatives observations, not measures of network usage.

Network

Coverage was 8.15%, Demand 21,361.84 TAO, Emissions 261,982.13 TAO and Burns 24,568.13 TAO. Demand retains its network-economic meaning; it is not a measure of customer revenue.

A usable dated network comparison is unavailable in this publication.

Market x Network

Comparable, complete market and network evidence is unavailable for an alignment or divergence interpretation. The recorded levels remain separate observations.

Network Breadth

Comparable subnet Coverage breadth is unavailable; no participation trend is inferred.

Concentration

Complete, valid Demand concentration evidence is unavailable in this publication.

Historical Context

A valid seven-day network comparison is unavailable in this frozen publication.

Bottom Line

The frozen publication records $TAO price $264.17 and Coverage 8.15%. Available evidence does not support a combined market/network conclusion.

What to Watch

Look for complete dated Coverage, Demand and market comparisons in the next frozen observation before drawing a combined conclusion. Missing evidence remains unavailable.
