Register research coverage
· AUSTRAC public VASP register was read directly on the checked date. Seven rows cover six brands. AML/CTF registration is not a financial-services authorisation or endorsement, so all rows have authorised:false. No registration number was printed in the fetched search data; ABN/ACN and internal record IDs are intentionally not used as licence numbers. Python urllib requests returned application Error 403; curl requests returned the register data. The initial Coinbase query with pageSize=200 returned HTTP 500; the normal application pageSize=20 succeeded. Gate entity mapping is unresolved. No Bybit, HTX or MEXC positive record was established by the checked brand queries. No fiat rails were researched.
