What we could not verify

Incidents not checked (web search budget exhausted); empty list not proof of none. Current operating entity not stated in Terms; BVI entity from a 2020 article. Proof of reserves, Italy acceptance, OAM not verified. Audit 2026-10-09: no hack/withdrawal incident found in searches.

Facts are as of 9 Oct 2026. We ran a limited number of searches per exchange, so an empty list is not proof that nothing happened. We did not check the Italian OAM register. Items from press or third parties are reports, not findings by an authority. If something here is wrong or out of date, send a correction with a source: corrections policy. Education only, not investment advice.
