Staked MOR on the Morpheus network fell 15.4% over two weeks, dropping from 1.49M on 2026-09-16 to 1.26M as of 2026-10-01.[^1]

Morpheus data shows the token price also declined over the same window, falling from $1.53 to $1.36.[^2]

Usage metrics moved in the opposite direction. Total network sessions increased 10.4% to 276,919.[^3]

Active network providers rose from 49 to 51.[^4] Live models hosted on the network increased by 11 to 420.[^5]

This appears to be an unusual divergence. No on-chain record explains the split at this time.
