How closely the tokens track the real share
Every token on every exchange against the real share at the same minute, in the sessions when the real share trades.
| Session | Prices | Within 0.15% | Typical distanceabove or below | Most prices between10th to 90th percentile |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| US hours9:30 am to 4 pm New York | 1,377 | 73.1% | 9.2 bps | −20 to +19 bps |
| Before the open4 am to 9:30 am New York | 1,099 | 58.4% | 12 bps | −37 to +25 bps |
| After the close4 pm to 8 pm New York | 849 | 73.4% | 9.2 bps | −17 to +20 bps |
| Overnight8 pm to 4 am New York | 1,393 | 67.5% | 9.3 bps | −28 to +19 bps |
Typical distance: half of all prices were closer to the real share than this, above or below it. Plus means above the real share, minus below. 1 bp (basis point) = 0.01%.
How many dollars sit on the bid
All exchanges together: the bid side of every book within 0.25%, 0.5% and 1% of its own price, added up at each check. That is roughly what could be sold at once without moving the price further than that.

| WeekendFriday 8 pm to Sunday 8 pm New York | $974 | $12k | $57k | $9k | 193 |
Typical check: the middle one. Thin moments: 9 in 10 checks had more than this. ≥ means at least: we read each side of a book until it holds $150,000, so deeper books count at that.
Exchange by exchange: what selling costs
US hours, typical check. Selling is set against the real share at the same minute, with the exchange’s standard fee taken off. Where an exchange lists several SLV tokens, each check uses the better book.

Minus means you get less than the real share is worth. Fees are each exchange’s taker fee for a new account, as on the prices page; a running discount is marked, and the result changes when it ends.
Issuer by issuer
US hours. The same stock from different issuers, all converted to real shares. Each issuer’s figure covers every exchange that lists its token, so a token listed on thin exchanges looks worse, whoever issued it.
| Issuer | Exchanges | Prices | Within 0.15% | Typical distance |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Ondo | 8 | 1,222 | 69.9% | 9.3 bps |
| Bitget R | 1 | 155 | 98.1% | 7.5 bps |
At weekends
Sat 10 – Sun 11 Oct: on Sunday evening, just before US trading restarted, the tokens were −0.43% from Friday’s last price (8 pm New York); on Monday the stock opened −0.70% from it. So the tokens missed the open by 0.28%, and Friday’s last price missed it by 0.70%. Closest exchange: Gate (0.27% off); furthest: LBank (0.88% off).
Through the weekend, token prices were typically +0.12% from Friday’s 4 pm close; most were between −0.45% and +0.32% (1,730 prices). The real share does not trade then, so this shows how far the tokens moved, not a tracking error.
One weekend is a small sample. Every weekend, every stock and the Bitcoin proof: Weekend Watch.
