Notes and record state

Record note
HEI models Crypto Facilities as acquired because Kraken acquired the company in February 2019. This is not a dead exchange record: later Kraken materials describe Crypto Facilities as a Kraken subsidiary and FCA-authorised trading venue. The terminal date here marks the independent exchange/platform identity being acquired, not corporate dissolution.
Revision state
