> **Video Content:** The clip features a glitchy, static-laced animation of a hooded figure with a black void for a face, whose eyes shift from solid white to outlined slits while their teeth display rapidly changing CMYK test patterns and pixelated color grids. A glowing orb to the figure's right flickers between purple and red energy bursts, and the silhouette of a raised, pointing hand appears on the right side. The background is filled with heavy black static and floral-like noise patterns, evoking a distorted broadcast signal, while a green cross briefly flashes at the figure's chest.

No specific on-screen text, tickers, or names appear in the frames, though the post references the $INK token and @RektInk NFT collection as central to the teased launch.

Last week Kraken insiders started sweeping the floor with side wallets.

The image illustrates the post's mention of only earning 42 weekly points, highlighting how the dramatic increase in weekly volume to $350 million made it harder to maintain a higher ranking.
