Notes and record state

Record note
Official tenth-anniversary material places Bitso's launch in April 2014 but does not state the exact day, so April 1 is used as a month-level placeholder. Current official material describes active exchange services and Gibraltar DLT regulation.
Revision state
Records may be incomplete, approximate, contested, or revised as better evidence becomes available.
