Why this matters
CirBTC 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
The scope is limited to what the linked reports state, and where two of them diverge both positions are recorded without either being picked in advance.
What to verify
Corroborate CirBTC with one independent dated source, and treat any figure the linked reports do not state as unknown rather than inferred.
