Kaia records 14.7× its average daily volume on 17 May — the largest spike in its 90-day history

  • Kaia (KAIA) traded 1.28 billion units on 17 May — 14.7 times its 30-day average of 86.9 million and nearly five times the previous 90-day single-day record of 256.7 million set on 17 April
  • The z-score of 28.56 makes this statistically extreme; yet the price moved only modestly, closing at $0.0506, up just 2.2% over seven days
  • This extreme volume-to-price divergence — a massive trading burst with little price movement — is statistically unusual and may indicate large-scale repositioning or wash activity
