Prop Collateral Valuation: Coin Quantity and Account Value Can Diverge
A collateral ledger can change in reporting value without changing coin quantity. Preserve both the original assets and the valuation source before reviewing a prop-account total. An allowance defined in one unit should not be applied to another without its actual rule.

Keep assets and valuation prices in separate fields
For a fictional Canadian reporting worksheet, hold one unit of asset X and 9,000 CAD cash. At a supplied price of 1,000 CAD per X, total reporting value is 10,000 CAD. There has been no assumption about whether a provider accepts X as collateral.
If the next supplied price is 900 CAD per X and quantities are unchanged, total becomes 9,900 CAD. The 100 CAD decrease is a valuation effect in this model, not a withdrawal, a fee or proof that 0.1 coin disappeared.
Reconcile movements before assigning a cause
Record any actual deposits, withdrawals, fees or internal transfers with unique IDs. If those records are incomplete, the whole change cannot be attributed solely to price. A snapshot difference can show a discrepancy without establishing its cause.
A CAD valuation is not automatically the platform’s equity calculation or a realised cash receipt. Different assets may have provider-specific acceptance and valuation treatment. Preserve the selected product and its actual collateral definitions rather than assuming universal parity or haircuts.
| Field | First observation | Second observation |
|---|---|---|
| Asset X quantity | 1 | 1 |
| Cash | 9,000 CAD | 9,000 CAD |
| Supplied X price | 1,000 CAD | 900 CAD |
| Total reporting value | 10,000 CAD | 9,900 CAD; no movement supplied |
Use the actual evaluation reference
This site’s earlier coin-and-stablecoin ledger remains the companion. HashHedge’s current product and loss conditions require their own review. The teaching value 10,000 CAD is not a purchased account reference or a provider’s allowed-loss amount.
The optional sponsored link offers programme information. No asset is deposited, converted or pledged, and no actual account is reconstructed. The example helps identify whether a reported change came from supplied prices or supplied quantities while keeping missing evidence visible.
