Hypothetical Stock-Token Quotes Produce a $60 Buy-Sell Gap

A fictional stock-token order book turns a hypothetical $100 last-traded price into a $60 difference between buying and reselling 10 tokens, showing how available quotes affect execution. The example assumes one token represents one share-equivalent and a stablecoin is worth $1. Buying five tokens at $102 and five at $104 costs $1,030. Selling five at a $98 bid and five at $96 returns $970. The $60 difference excludes fees and network costs and assumes the order book remains unchanged. A last-traded stock price is a historical reference. Buyers transact against available asks, while sellers receive available bids.
