of 24h volume traded against reference prices that were not updating. Observed across 35 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.
