Why is OKB down today?

OKB is down 4.1% to $117.90 with no OKB-specific news behind the move — the token is lagging a broader market that spent the day digesting a macro shock. September US producer prices came in at 1.3% monthly and 6.3% annually, well above forecasts, with energy costs jumping 20.3% on the month. That inflation surprise added to selling pressure that had been building all week and helped push Bitcoin briefly below $80,000 before it recovered to $82,307, up 0.9% on the day.

OKB has not followed that bounce. Exchange tokens trade thinly relative to majors — OKB turned over just $51.88M against a $2.48B market cap — so flows that stabilize Bitcoin do not necessarily reach the back half of the top 50. The 7-day loss of 5.6% compares with a roughly flat week for Bitcoin.
