of 24h volume traded against reference prices that were not updating. Observed across 155 reads over 52 hours.

This happens every weekend. US equity markets close, the Chainlink feeds behind these tokens stop publishing — documented behaviour, not a malfunction — and the tokens keep trading anyway. The feeds unfroze at 00:00 UTC Monday, as they do every week.

19 drifted from the frozen reference

Peak drift over the weekend, not the value at the end: a gap that opened on Saturday and closed on Sunday still opened. Thin pools are excluded — under $50k of reserve a wide quote is noise rather than a dislocation.

What this does not say

Nobody was liquidated over this. Stock-token collateral across the lending markets on this chain is roughly $22. The exposure is to whoever traded or provided liquidity through the blind window — and to whoever lends against these tokens first.
The freeze is not a malfunction. Equity feeds have no heartbeat when the underlying market is closed, and the contract stays callable, so anything reading it gets a held price with no signal that it is held. That is the finding: not that the oracle broke, but that nothing tells you.
Measured, not modelled. 155 reads over 52 hours against chain 4663 and a public DEX quote. If the watcher had not observed the window this page would say so instead of reporting a quiet weekend.
