Why this matters

AI Agents Found is a factual update rather than a structural change to tokenized assets. Its value to a desk is the sourced detail and the timing, so read it next to the linked reporting and treat any figure the sources do not state as unknown.

Evidence boundary

On AI Agents Found, 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

Corroborate AI Agents Found with one independent dated source, and treat any figure the linked reports do not state as unknown rather than inferred.
