Why this matters
This reads as a change in infrastructure rather than a move in price, and that distinction decides what is worth verifying: whether the underlying record moved, or only the interface around it. If a ledger, custodian or settlement term is unchanged, then anything built on top of it behaves the same too, however the announcement is framed. Subject of the report: Aerodrome and Velodrome merge.
Evidence boundary
On Aerodrome and Velodrome merge, the scope is limited to what the linked 2 reports state, and where they diverge both positions are recorded without either being picked in advance; the headline figure is what to check first.
What to verify
If Aerodrome and Velodrome merge points at a contract or a chain, verify the deployed address and version there. If it describes an internal or corporate change with no on-chain component, the chain is the wrong place to look.
