6. History and significant events

The table below summarizes milestones confirmed in the company’s corporate history and crypto-asset CFD disclosures and in the FSA register. A registration number is an identifier in registration order; it does not by itself mean that the company was the sole first registrant in Japan. ^[Sources: https://www.moneypartners.co.jp/aboutus/outline.html; https://www.moneypartners.co.jp/crypto/index.html; https://www.fsa.go.jp/menkyo/menkyoj/kasoutuka.xlsx.]

FSA registration number No. 00001 is the identifier assigned to the company. Its registration date, September 29, 2017, is shared with multiple operators, so the number alone is not treated as evidence that the company was Japan’s sole first completed registration.
