"caveats": [
"We have no volume or order-book data from KuCoin itself or other major KCS venues. The only exchange data, from Bybit, is too thin to use.",

BTC (+0.77%) and ETH (+1.34%) also rose, so part of the move fits the wider market. The evidence doesn't explain the rest: the only venue volume we have is Bybit, and it is a few tens of dollars.",
