Notes and record state

Record note
Current first-party website continues to expose the crypto exchange, account-opening, OTC, and current July 2026 notices. First-party 2026 operating notices state that order-book exchange trading remains available while external crypto deposits and withdrawals are suspended from 2026-02-25, staking remains stopped, and the dealer-market buy/sell service is also unavailable. HEI therefore uses status limited rather than active or dead. JVCEA's current member directory lists BACKSEAT Crypto Asset Exchange Co., Ltd. with Kanto Finance Bureau registration No. 00026.
