• Sourcing. Every factual claim and figure is attributed to a named, authoritative source — fund issuers, regulators (e.g. SEC), established financial media, and recognised flow trackers. Sources are listed on each article.
• Verification. Numbers are checked against the primary source before publication. We do not state as fact anything we cannot attribute.
• Human review. Daily briefings are editorially reviewed before publishing; the reviewer is named in the byline.
• AI disclosure. We use automated tooling to gather and draft from those sources. Output is reviewed for accuracy and framing before it goes live; we publish one original, data-grounded briefing rather than spun or duplicated content.
• Independence. Pre-Tick does not take positions in the securities it covers, and articles are not sponsored.

US-listed ETFs trade only during market hours, but their underlying crypto trades 24/7. We re-price each ETF from its last official close and the live move of the underlying asset since the 4:00 PM ET close, adjusted for the fund's structure:

Estimates are theoretical fair-value calculations, most accurate for 1× spot funds and least accurate for leveraged funds and during sharp, illiquid moves. They are a directional guide, not a guaranteed open price.

Underlying crypto prices come from Binance spot and futures feeds. ETF reference data comes from public market data providers and fund issuers. Flow and holdings figures are attributed to the issuer or an established tracker on the relevant article.

If we get something wrong, we fix it and note the update date on the article (Updated in the byline). To report an error, email support@pre-tick.live.
