Background
VTI is the Vanguard Total Stock Market Index Fund ETF, a fund that uses an indexing approach designed to track an index representing approximately 100% of the investable US stock market, including large-, mid-, small- and micro-cap stocks, by sampling the index rather than holding every security. The quotes circulating now are mostly option-contract pages for VTI published by Yahoo Finance, alongside a price page on Pluang, a platform described as OJK-regulated where VTI shares can be bought and sold in fractional shares with real-time market data.
