Notes and record state

Record note
The official About page states that EXMO.com was founded in 2014. The UK designated EXMO EXCHANGE LIMITED on 2026-05-26 under the Russia sanctions regime. On 2026-07-14 EXMO.com announced an orderly wind-down, stating that operations had been almost completely paralyzed, new registrations and deposits were closed, and trading was limited to closing/conversion use while withdrawals continued. No final shutdown date is established in the reviewed evidence, so HEI classifies EXMO as limited rather than dead and keeps death_reason/death_date null.
