high confidence
Verified
Who holds the underlying?

Needs an identifiable custodian or entity — not a wallet address or a label.

Partner vaults named across Switzerland, the UK, Canada, Turkey and Singapore in secondary and issuer-placed reporting; custody performance not independently tested.

high confidence
Partially verified
How are reserves checked?

Custodian records → inventory → third-party audit → supply reconciliation.

'Regularly audited' is claimed but no auditor identity was found; no independent reserve reconciliation found.

high confidence
Unverified
How does redemption work?

Eligibility, minimums, fees, KYC, settlement — and what happens to the token.

Distributor partners provide a physical-redemption channel, but public minimums, fees and KYC schedules were not found.

high confidence
Partially verified
Who is liable if redemption fails?

A legally accountable entity and jurisdiction — not a DAO label.
