Notes and record state

Record note
Launch date is stored at month precision from exchange-profile sources. BTCBOX suspended all services on 2026-01-29. Login and crypto-asset deposits partially resumed on 2026-08-03. A 2026-08-07 first-party notice states that Japanese-yen withdrawals would resume on 2026-08-10 at 10:00 JST after the operator confirmed its safety and stability measures were functioning as intended. As of the 2026-09-02 review, BTCBOX's current official notices did not show a later announcement restoring crypto withdrawals, exchange trading, or easy-buy services; the operator had said those remaining services would restart sequentially from September after further checks. HEI therefore keeps BTCBOX limited rather than active or inactive. No death date or death reason is assigned.
