Own factual research notes (not a remote-page capture):
FMA states CASP grant27 November2025; loss of AML and sanctions key officers/deputies led to new-business ban19 February2026. Those functions were refilled and that ban lifted18 May2026. A separate decision18 February2026 still prohibited commencement because governance and other management key functions were not fully met. Focused official-domain searches on31 October returned this notice and grant; no later lifting notice was located. That negative search result does not prove no later decision exists.

Limits: Notice speaks as of18 May2026. Newly reading it31 October does not re-date the decision or prove operational prohibition remained unchanged through31 October. KuCoin EU is an out-of-frame affiliate; never substitute it for sampled Global.
