Pearl (PRL) Tops $2 as GPU Mining Coin’s Market Cap Hits $700M

Pearl's move matters less as a price event than as a test of whether compute-for-consensus designs can hold attention beyond their launch window. The roughly 332 million PRL mined against a 2.1 billion cap means most supply is still ahead, so the circulating figure flatters the valuation relative to eventual dilution. GPU owners now have a live alternative to pure hash mining, and how emission pace and miner retention evolve is the open question.
