What the capital we read is exposed to outside crypto. Held instruments, stablecoin reserves, and the part we have not classified, as separate figures, because they answer different questions.
These are never added together. A tokenised Treasury bill is a claim on a named instrument; a USDC balance is a claim on a stablecoin whose issuer says it holds bills, at a size the issuer chooses and reports on its own schedule. One headline covering both would overstate the named position roughly thirty-fold.
A pass-through, not a holding: the vault holds the stablecoin, the issuer holds the reserve. What the reserve is made of is the issuer’s own description, summarised; who vouches for it and how often is recorded where we know it and left blank where we do not.

What we read at all: the perimeter. Synthetic exposure, meaning perpetuals on equities, commodities and FX, is indexed at venue level: $71.40M across Ostium and Veranta (formerly Avantis), shown above. It is not part of the capital-held figure and none of it is attributed to an agent: these are the venues’ own open positions, not holdings we can trace to a machine-managed vault.
