Do the 2026 IFRS study's hard-to-value shares match US company tables?

Research question: What is the sample size, tokenized-asset definition, and Level 3 share of fair-value measurements in the 2026 IFRS 9 and IFRS 13 discretion study, and does its Level 3 finding replicate in US GAAP ASC 820 hierarchy tables from 2025-2026 filings?

The provided records do not contain the specific sample size, tokenized-asset definition, or Level 3 share of fair-value measurements for the 2026 IFRS 9 and IFRS 13 discretion study, nor do they include US GAAP ASC 820 hierarchy tables to verify replication 2. The study is cited only for its finding that IFRS 13 Level 3 measurement increases accounting discretion with a coefficient of 0.219 5. While US GAAP filings from 2025-2026 show companies classifying assets as Level 3 due to a lack of observable market prices 1213, the specific data required to answer the question is absent from the verified facts 2.

Checked 2026-10-16. Only documented and supported facts are used.
