Recent fundamentally positive updates, including earnings strength and partnerships, have sometimes seen mixed or negative short-term price reactions.

A Web3 proxy-voting partnership with Ondo Finance on Apr 28 and AI-driven literacy and disclosure research initiatives in late April drew modestly positive to slightly negative moves.
