EXPLAINED REPORT

Market

At the frozen observation, $TAO price was $270.14. The recorded 24h move was +2.16%; 24h volume was $136,922,775.18.

Open Interest was $22,743,556.15 (-6.98% over 24h). Funding was 0.01%. These are market and derivatives observations, not measures of network usage.

Network

Coverage was 8.17%, Demand 21,451.93 TAO, Emissions 262,586.82 TAO and Burns 24,580.41 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 $270.14 and Coverage 8.17%. 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.
