How VenueVeritas maintains public records from primary sources.
Standing rules
- Research Confidence describes evidence coverage. It does not mean an operator is safe.
- Verified means a specific source check succeeded. It is not a general endorsement.
- Unknown stays unknown. Missing evidence is not filled in.
- Check times and change times belong to the records they describe.
- Commercial relationships do not influence research conclusions.
- VenueVeritas does not recommend a venue or tell a reader to trade.
What the desk researches
- Public identity and legal-entity mapping for trading venues
- Regulatory footprint attached to named entities
- Operator disclosures, including reserves and custody claims when they exist
- Public security incidents and operational disruptions
- Market-structure facts that can be sourced
- Explicit unknowns where evidence is missing
Source hierarchy
Higher sources outrank lower ones. A lower source does not fill a gap in a higher one.
- Lv1Official regulator registers and notices
- Lv2Operator primary disclosures
- Lv3Original incident and court records
- Lv4Reputable secondary reporting, cited only as reporting
Verification rules
- Cite the source before publishing the claim
- Separate the source from the check status
- Date the check
- Leave missing evidence missing
Evidence-state semantics
Limits
- The desk does not execute trades, hold funds or provide advice.
- Published trading venue records are available in the Venue Directory. Ongoing verification automation is not claimed as a live operational feed on this page.

Selected venue pages with entity, regulation, custody, or proof-of-reserves records already on the public Publication set. These links support research navigation; they are not rankings.
Public evidence graph
Entity Graph V1 indexes legal entities, regulators, and exact regulatory-record identifiers derived from the Publication read model. These pages are public-record graph views — not rankings.
