Fact-check findings
What an automated fact-checker found when it re-read Invesco Short Duration US Government Securities Fund (USTB) against the sources the page cites. Only the most recent review is shown.
These findings are produced by an automated reviewer, and its results vary between runs: the same page, checked three times on the same day, came back with 15%, 20% and 34% of its claims disputed, mostly because each run extracted a different number of claims. Treat what follows as leads, not rulings.
“Disputed” means the reviewer could not reconcile the claim with the evidence it cited. It does not mean the claim is false. “Unverifiable” means no reachable source settled it either way.
Nothing here changes the page on its own. A proposed correction is applied only after a human moderator approves it; until then the page reads as it did when reviewed.

reviewerSuperstate, Inc. was incorporated in 2022.Multiple independent sources (the company's own June 2023 formation coverage, a 2023 seed-round article, and later retrospective reporting calling it 'founded just over two years ago' in August 2025) converge on 2023 as the founding/incorporation year. No source supports 2022.Proposed correction (not yet applied)Superstate was incorporated in 2023 and raised a $4 million seed round in 2023 led by ParaFi Capital, 1kx, Cumberland, CoinFund, and Distributed Global, followed by a $14 million Series A. - #4[disputed][awaiting moderator]in the timeline

reviewerInvesco Ltd. has approximately $1.8 trillion in total AUM.No source found for $1.8 trillion. Invesco's own monthly AUM press releases and its own March 2026 partnership release both put total AUM between $2.2 and $2.5 trillion throughout the relevant period, materially higher than the page states.Proposed correction (not yet applied)Invesco Ltd.

“Growth was steady; by late 2025 the fund approached $967 million AUM according to the March 2026 Invesco-Superstate press release.”
reviewerBy late 2025, USTB's AUM approached $967 million, per the March 2026 Invesco-Superstate press release.The $967M figure itself is accurate and well sourced, but the page misattributes its as-of date, implying the fund had already reached that size months earlier than the source actually states.Proposed correction (not yet applied)Growth was steady; by March 2026 the fund approached $967 million AUM according to the March 2026 Invesco-Superstate press release.

“As of July 22, 2026, RWA.xyz reported AUM of approximately $682 million, ranking USTB among the top five tokenized U.S. Treasury funds globally.”
reviewerAs of July 22, 2026, USTB AUM was approximately $682 million, NAV per share ~$11.15, 7-day APY ~1.49%, 30-day APY ~3.30%, with token distribution of ~60.59M (Ethereum), 216,400 (Solana), 402,000 (Plume), and 29 monthly active addresses.Could not access the cited archived snapshot to verify the precise point-in-time figures. Current live data differs from the page's figures, but that is expected for a continuously updated metric rather than evidence of error. Flagged as unverifiable rather than disputed.

1 claimThe cited evidence supports part of the claim but not all of it.
- #7[partially supported][awaiting moderator]in section: Blockchain Deployment and Smart Contract Security
“An audit conducted October 25-29, 2024 identified two lower-severity findings: an implicit assumption that the contract deployer is authorized in the USTB and USCC contracts (which was flagged as inconsistent with mainnet configurations), and an absence of upper-bound validation on NAV values in the SuperstateOracle's checkpoint function.”
reviewerThe October 2024 0xmacro audit identified two lower-severity findings: a deployer-authorization assumption and a missing NAV upper-bound check.The specific findings described are accurately summarized in substance, but the page understates severity (calling a Medium finding 'lower-severity') and omits that the same audit had additional Medium findings, giving an overly reassuring picture of the audit's actual scope.
