For a holder looking to sell, the question is how much the market can absorb now, and at what price, particularly outside US equity hours.<\/p>\n<p>A Sept. 23 premarket check found indicative buy and sell routes for about $100,000 of each of Coinbase's ten stock tokens on Base. The estimated proceeds from selling were 0.06% to 0.71% below KyberSwap's own dollar valuation of the tokens offered. The routes price individual orders at one instant; they do not establish capacity for a simultaneous selloff.<\/p>\n<p>The ten principal Aerodrome stock\/USDC pools held about $12.97 million in combined displayed balances during the check. Individual pools ranged from roughly $818,700 for MSFTc to $2.11 million for NVDAc. Those balances include both the stock token and USDC. The total alone leaves the amount available to absorb a sale within a specified price range unknown.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/dromos.kitchen\/dashboards\/coinbase-tokenized-stocks\">Dromos Kitchen's stock-token dashboard<\/a> put cumulative trading volume at about $1.02 billion and total tokenized value at $19.82 million on Sept. 23. Its community-built data carries a warning that it may be incomplete. Turnover accumulates across trades; it cannot be read as a fresh pool of buyers waiting for a large sell order.<\/p>\n<h2>What the $100,000 quotes show<\/h2>\n<p>The table pairs each displayed Aerodrome pool balance with KyberSwap's estimated routes for selling a stock token into USDC and buying it with USDC. The quote gap measures how far the router's estimated output dollar value fell below its own dollar valuation of the input. It does not compare the token with the underlying share's exchange price or record a completed trade.<\/p>\n<table>\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th>Token<\/th>\n<th>Aerodrome stock\/USDC pool<\/th>\n<th>$100,000 sell quote gap<\/th>\n<th>$100,000 buy quote gap<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>NVDAc<\/td>\n<td>$2.11 million<\/td>\n<td>0.13%<\/td>\n<td>0.16%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>AAPLc<\/td>\n<td>$1.50 million<\/td>\n<td>0.06%<\/td>\n<td>0.10%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>GOOGLc<\/td>\n<td>$1.66 million<\/td>\n<td>0.10%<\/td>\n<td>0.09%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>METAc<\/td>\n<td>$2.10 million<\/td>\n<td>0.13%<\/td>\n<td>0.22%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>AMZNc<\/td>\n<td>$1.03 million<\/td>\n<td>0.30%<\/td>\n<td>0.22%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>MSFTc<\/td>\n<td>$818,700<\/td>\n<td>0.39%<\/td>\n<td>0.43%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>TSLAc<\/td>\n<td>$861,985<\/td>\n<td>0.42%<\/td>\n<td>0.51%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>MSTRc<\/td>\n<td>$940,283<\/td>\n<td>0.71%<\/td>\n<td>0.76%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>SNDKc<\/td>\n<td>$952,629<\/td>\n<td>0.61%<\/td>\n<td>0.69%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>SPCXc<\/td>\n<td>$1.00 million<\/td>\n<td>0.50%<\/td>\n<td>0.25%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>Method: Pool balances are from the ten matching Aerodrome Slipstream 3 stock\/USDC records at about 08:00 UTC. KyberSwap GET route summaries were captured from 08:02:01 to 08:02:42 UTC. Sell quantities approximated $100,000 at displayed token prices; KyberSwap's own input marks varied slightly. Values are rounded, gas is separate, and no trades were sent. Its API requires a separate step to build a transaction.<\/p>\n<p>At roughly $10,000 per token, sell-side quote gaps were 0.01% to 0.12%. The $100,000 orders generally widened those gaps. Some routes combined Aerodrome with other liquidity sources, so their estimated prices reflect the router's reach beyond any one pool. That extra access may change quickly as market makers and liquidity providers adjust their offers.<\/p>\n\n<div class=\"cs-article-embed\">\n    <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/coinbase-stock-tokens-stayed-within-0-6-of-friday-prices-through-the-weekend-as-aave-collateral-remained-pending\/\" class=\"cs-article-embed__link\">\n        <div class=\"cs-article-embed__body\">\n            <span class=\"cs-article-embed__related-reading\">Related Reading<\/span>\n            <h3 class=\"cs-article-embed__title\">Crypto stock tokens barely move over weekend, revealing markets become illiquid when Wall Street goes offline<\/h3>\n        <\/div>\n        <span class=\"cs-article-embed__arrow\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\n            <i class=\"fa-light fa-arrow-up-right\"><\/i>\n        <\/span>\n    <\/a>\n<\/div>\n\n<p>The displayed balances depend partly on what liquidity providers are paid to keep capital in the market.
