Observability	price: partial — Schwab publishes a base-plus-tier margin schedule on the same pattern as its peers, so the price axis is obtainable in principle. ⚠ IT IS NOT MACHINE-SOURCEABLE BY THE ROUTE USED FOR THE OTHERS: schwab.com/margin/rates returned 216 characters of text on 2026-08-07, the schedule being client-rendered. This is a capture-route gap, NOT an absence in the record, and the distinction matters - the rates are public. Fill route: a rendering fetch, or the archived snapshots, or the printed rate schedule. NOT YET INGESTED. The rate is the broker general margin schedule and is NOT bitcoin-specific: the same debit balance is charged the same whether the collateral is a BTC ETP or any other marginable security. What IS bitcoin-specific is the collateral - whether the ETP is marginable and at what maintenance requirement. Publishing this as a "BTC borrow rate" without that sentence would imply a product that does not exist. quantity: partial — Market-level only: FINRA monthly aggregate margin debt. Security-level unobtainable and declared (section 8.1). composition: none — Loan-level composition is unobtainable in the posted class (section 8.1). Collateral is etp_share (section 6.1, D31).
