Notes and record state

Record note
Swyftx's May 2022 submission to the Australian Treasury describes the business as an Australian-born cryptocurrency trading platform established in 2018 and explicitly characterizes its business model as a broker rather than an exchange. HEI retains the existing cex type under the current exchange-like platform scope.
