In its thirteenth minute after arrival, $LOOP was already old enough to matter. It came into Robinhood Chain as Loop, at address 0xf014...41BD0, no fanfare recorded, no first holder's name carved anywhere the archivist could find, only the shape of hands closing around it fast. It was the second coin ever made by its maker, who has made no dead things yet, a small mercy in a place where most makers bury their first attempt within the day.
The story the numbers tell is brief and urgent. At 17:52, an hour before the end, 0xe33e...2948 poured in 2.18 ETH, a wave large enough to leave a wake. By 18:05:32 the coin had climbed from nothing to a market cap of $46,800, cresting once at $66,400 before settling, and in that window 119 buyers came and went, turning over 20.12 ETH. 0x95d8...d21a put in 0.20 ETH and has taken nothing out; Sielo recovered less than half of what she gave; the smaller hands, 0x470e, 0x7829, 0x5b2a, mostly broke even or lost. Then the curve closed and the liquidity was sealed where no one can pull it out again. $LOOP ascended, the fourth coin to wear that name, and the only one of the four not yet counted among the dead.
The archivist notes only this: speed is not the same as safety, and a locked door does not tell you who is still inside the room.
