Regulation moves: grey lists change, regimes go live, transition windows close. This page tracks those events across crypto licensing and company formation, from FATF list decisions to licence deadlines, each with a date or a watch checkpoint, a primary source, and links to the guides it affects.
Below the calendar sits the verification ledger: when every crypto licensing and company formation guide was last confirmed against its sources. Building a shortlist instead? Compare crypto licensing jurisdictions or company-formation jurisdictions.

Data as of October 2026
Every event below carries a date or a watch checkpoint, a primary source, and links to the jurisdiction guides it affects. Scheduled events carry the regulator's own date. Watch items track developments a regulator has signalled but not scheduled; the date shown is the checkpoint by which we expect movement and re-verify regardless.
Antigua and Barbuda came off the EU's Annex II grey list on 17 February 2026 and now sits on neither annex. The Council scheduled its next revision of the list for October 2026; that revision decides whether that clean standing holds into 2027.
Three successive crypto-asset market acts have been vetoed, the latest in June 2026, and on 4 September 2026 the Sejm failed to override that veto (241 votes; 266 required), so that act cannot enter into force. No Polish authority is designated for CASPs, and since 1 July 2026 an entry in the legacy VASP register no longer permits crypto-asset services. EU CASPs continue to serve the Polish market by passporting under MiCA. On 8 September 2026 the President submitted a new draft act on the crypto-asset market that would designate the KNF; by 29 September 2026 it had no Sejm print number or first reading, and no government draft was before the Sejm. A domestic authorisation route would open only once a new act enters into force and designates a competent authority.
The FSC published the Digital Assets Bill as a consultation draft, with comments due by 8 September 2026. The Bill was not among those introduced at the House of Representatives sitting of 2 October 2026, and the House adjourned without fixing its next sitting. The draft does not itself establish an operating permission: a launch decision requires the enacted text, its commencement instrument, and the applicable licence categories, capital requirements, and fees.
At its June 2026 plenary the FATF made the initial determination that Bulgaria has substantially completed its action plan and warrants an on-site assessment. Under the FATF's procedure a jurisdiction is removed from the grey list at the plenary after a successful on-site visit; the FATF had not published an outcome by 29 September 2026, and its next plenary runs from 26 to 30 October 2026. Removal would take Bulgaria off the increased-monitoring statement, which the FATF encourages all jurisdictions to take into account in their risk analysis.
The FATF reviews its increased-monitoring (grey) and high-risk (black) lists at each plenary. It does not call for enhanced due diligence on grey-listed jurisdictions, but it encourages all jurisdictions to take its statement into account in their risk analysis, so a listing change can alter how counterparties assess the jurisdictions concerned. Bulgaria's possible removal has its own entry on this radar.
Romania's MiCA implementing ordinance reached first reading in Government on 2 April 2026 but has not been published in Monitorul Oficial, and Romania has not notified a competent authority under MiCA Article 93. No national CASP application route is open. EU CASPs may still serve the Romanian market by passporting.
The Ley Especial (Decreto Legislativo 426, in force since October 2025) makes cash, wire and digital-asset transactions reportable to the UIF within five working days but leaves the thresholds to its reglamento. Article 60 set a 90-day deadline that lapsed in January 2026, and no reglamento had appeared in the Diario Oficial by 10 September 2026. Until the reglamento and a new UIF instructivo are issued, article 61 keeps the 2000 reglamento and the UIF's 2021 instructivo in force, so providers still report against its figures, such as single cash transactions above US$10,000.
The CFATF's October 2025 follow-up report says the next report on St Kitts and Nevis is due in November 2026; it may re-rate Recommendation 15 (virtual assets, still Partially Compliant) in light of the 2026 Virtual Asset (Amendment) Act and regulations. Recent CFATF follow-up reports have been posted before the plenary, which runs from 29 November to 3 December 2026.
Firms can passport between the UK and Gibraltar under a transitional arrangement that ends on 31 December 2026 unless HM Treasury extends it, by up to 12 months at a time, pending the permanent Gibraltar Authorisation Regime. HM Treasury has extended it every year since 2020, most recently by regulations made in November 2025, and no 2026 extension had been laid by 29 September 2026. The arrangement covers traditional financial services such as banking, insurance, investment, e-money and payments, not DLT or VAA activities, so a Gibraltar crypto group is affected only through its traditional regulated lines.

Macau has no virtual-asset licensing regime today. A draft anti-money-laundering bill, put to a sectoral consultation from 12 to 31 May 2026, would according to press reports require virtual-asset operators to hold a prior licence. By 29 September 2026 it had not been submitted to the Legislative Assembly and named no licensing regulator, so Macau remains a monitoring position rather than a licensing option.

Kazakhstan is listed by the OECD for first CARF exchanges by 2027. CARF covers identification details, tax residence and prescribed transaction aggregates; Section II does not prescribe a universal year-end balance field. The providers covered in the AIFC and the first national reporting period require confirmation under the implementing rules.
In February 2023 Oman's capital-market regulator, now the FSA, announced plans for a Virtual Assets Regulatory Framework (VARF), including a licensing framework for all VASP categories; it has not yet been enacted. The full VARF is expected to publish licence categories, government fees, and capital tiers, turning Oman from an early-mover position into a fully costed, comparable licensing option.

Reporting crypto-asset service providers in the Cayman Islands register on the DITC portal under the Crypto-Asset Reporting Framework. The DITC extended the registration deadline from 30 April 2026 to 31 January 2027; first reports, covering 2026, are due in 2027.

The FCA opened its cryptoasset authorisation gateway on 30 September 2026. The relevant application period ends on 28 February 2027 ahead of the new regime on 25 October 2027. Existing MLR registration does not automatically become FSMA authorisation; applicants must check the permissions and transition provisions for their business.
Saint Vincent stays in enhanced follow-up after the May 2026 report, which states that it will present its third and last follow-up report at the May 2027 CFATF Plenary. That report can re-rate Recommendation 15, the virtual-asset standard, again.
The new UK regime brings specified cryptoasset activities into FSMA regulation. Operators must establish the applicable permission or saving provision before carrying on those activities when the regime starts. An EU MiCA authorisation does not replace UK permission.
Under the FSC (Amendment) Act 2026, which is not yet in force, special licences must be converted to full Part VI licences by 31 December 2027 at the latest. A licence under SI 162/2025 lasts up to one year with no expectation of renewal or conversion, and those regulations expire when the Act enters into force.

For crypto-assets other than ARTs and EMTs admitted to trading before 30 December 2024, trading-platform operators must ensure by 31 December 2027 that a white paper, where required, is drawn up, notified and published under Articles 6, 8 and 9 and updated under Article 12. Article 143(2)(b) is a disclosure transition for legacy assets; it does not extend a provider’s expired CASP grandfathering period.

When a watched event lands, its outcome is recorded here, including the quiet ones: a fact re-verified with no change is still a verification. Outcomes are recorded only from primary sources, never from news coverage alone. Below the outcomes sits the running re-verification log: the key figures confirmed against their sources over the last three months.
ASIC did not amend or replace its class no-action letter of 25 June 2026, so 30 September 2026 stood as the last date to qualify for its relief. Only operators that qualified by then keep it, until the end event the letter sets for their route: on the AFSL route, by lodging an application or variation by that date; through the specified representative and intermediary arrangements; or, for market and clearing and settlement facility operators, by notifying ASIC and attending a licensing pre-meeting by that date, then applying within 12 months of notification. The relevant activity must have begun in Australia by 31 December 2025, and lending or earn products, non-cash payment facilities other than stablecoins and derivatives other than wrapped tokens remain excluded. From 1 October 2026, firms that need a licence or variation but did not qualify risk breaching financial services law. The letter is revocable regulatory policy, not an exemption.
The FSU's AML/CFT guidelines page lists a guidance note for virtual asset service providers, approved by the FSU Director on 30 January 2025. It sets AML/CFT expectations, including the FATF Travel Rule with a USD 1,000 threshold, a risk-based approach to unhosted wallets and a compliance officer with an alternate; it does not cover the application process, for which the form remains the Schedule to the 2024 Regulations.
The OECD Global Forum's list of Crypto-Asset Reporting Framework commitments, last updated 14 September 2026, places Argentina and the United States among the four jurisdictions undertaking first exchanges by 2029.
The FCA's Cryptoasset Activities (Periodic and Application Fees) Instrument 2026 sets the application fees for authorisation under the new cryptoasset regime from 30 September 2026: GBP 2,820 for arranging deals, dealing as agent and staking, GBP 11,260 for dealing as principal, safeguarding and stablecoin issuance, and GBP 28,150 for operating a trading platform, with one fee charged at the highest applicable category. Annual fees for authorised cryptoasset firms start in 2028/29, and the regime itself commences on 25 October 2027.

The Income Tax (International Tax Compliance Agreements) (Crypto-Asset Reporting Framework) Regulations 2026 were made on 11 August 2026 and IRAS published its CARF e-Tax Guide; reporting covers calendar year 2027, with first exchanges in September 2028.
The AML/CFT Amendment Act 2026 and the AML/CFT (Supervisor, Levy, and Other Matters) Amendment Act 2026 passed on 18 May 2026. From 1 July 2026 the Department of Internal Affairs is the only AML/CFT supervisor of reporting entities, including virtual asset service providers; an industry levy is enabled but remains subject to Cabinet approval.
The HKMA granted the first two stablecoin issuer licences under the Stablecoins Ordinance (Cap. 656) on 10 April 2026, to Anchorpoint Financial Limited and The Hongkong and Shanghai Banking Corporation Limited, out of 36 applications received in the first batch; it has said any further licences will remain very limited.
The United Kingdom and the European Union signed the treaty on Gibraltar's future relationship with the EU on 14 July 2026, and it has been applied since 15 July 2026, ahead of its formal entry into force. Gibraltar now levies a transaction tax on goods at standard rates of 15% in the first year and 16% in the second, then 17% or the lowest standard VAT rate applied by an EU Member State; the treaty does not restore EU passporting for financial services.

Canada enacted the Stablecoin Act on 26 March 2026, when the Budget 2025 Implementation Act, No. 1 (S.C. 2026, c. 3) received Royal Assent; its Division 45 is the new Act, under which the Bank of Canada will register and supervise stablecoin issuers. The Act comes into force on dates fixed by order, and the Department of Finance is developing the regulations.
Federal Decree-Law No. 32 of 2025 established the Capital Market Authority (CMA) as the legal successor of the Securities and Commodities Authority from 1 January 2026. Cabinet Decisions 111 and 112 of 2022 on virtual assets stay in force, and the VARA public register now shows a CMA registration number for each licensee.
The FSA's public warning notice of 29 April 2026 states that no entity is registered, licensed or authorised by the FSA to operate as a VASP in Saint Vincent and the Grenadines. Press reports of early September 2026 say new applications were suspended from 1 September; the FSA has not published that notice on its website.
SR&O 13 of 2026, published on 22 June 2026, gives the FSRC 90 days from a complete application to decide on a virtual asset registration, makes insurance against the registrant's liability mandatory, requires annual external testing and seven-year record retention, and repeals the 2022 forms regulations.
The FSA's Licence Application Guidelines for virtual-asset service providers (28 April 2025, para 6.5.1) state that processing a complete application may take from 3 months to 2 years depending on its complexity. Our Seychelles crypto licensing guide now plans on about 4 to 27 months end to end.
The FSRA's warning notice of 16 June 2026 states that it has not commenced issuing licences under the Virtual Asset Business Act, No. 24 of 2022, so no entity is licensed to conduct virtual asset business in Saint Lucia.

Law 526 of 28 May 2026 (Gaceta Oficial 30534-B) adds economic-substance rules to the Fiscal Code for Panama entities of multinational groups that earn foreign-source passive income such as dividends, interest, royalties and capital gains. From the 2027 fiscal period such an entity must show adequate substance in Panama or pay a single 15% rate on that income; standalone companies are outside its scope.
Royal Decree 56/2025 introduces a 5% personal income tax on annual income above OMR 42,000, in force from 1 January 2028. The Tax Authority estimates that about 99% of the population will not be subject to it. Our Oman guides now say there is no personal income tax before 1 January 2028.
Ministerial Decision 410/2025, in force from 6 October 2025, sets the commercial registration fee for companies under the Foreign Capital Investment Law at OMR 40 for three years, replacing the earlier OMR 3,000 row. Oman sets no statutory minimum capital for a limited liability company (Commercial Companies Law, Art. 238).
The Net Profit Tax Act 2025 repeals Part III (tax on gross revenue) of the Income Tax Act 1989 for tax years commencing on or after 1 October 2026. The DAO Act still refers to that tax for for-profit DAO LLCs and has not been amended, so the position of the 3% charge should be confirmed with RMI counsel.
Labuan FSA issued its Guidelines on the Management of Digital Money Broking Platform on 16 December 2025, in effect from 1 January 2027. Trades must be fully funded by the client: a Labuan money broker may not provide financial assistance to clients to acquire assets traded on the platform.
The new tax agreement between Japan and the Kyrgyz Republic entered into force on 26 July 2026, replacing the treaty inherited from the USSR.

Kazakhstan's Tax Code No. 214-VIII, in force since 1 January 2026, sets corporate income tax at 20% (25% for banks and gambling), VAT at 16%, personal income tax at 10% up to 8,500 MCI a year and 15% above, and social tax at 6%. The AIFC 0% on qualifying financial-services income until 1 January 2066 is unchanged. Our comparison tools now headline the standard 20% rate; both Kazakhstan guides show it alongside the AIFC 0% on qualifying income.
The Banque Centrale des Comores warned on 8 December 2025 that the Mwali International Services Authority, the Anjouan Offshore Finance Authority and Anjouan Corporate Services are not recognised, and that only institutions it has licensed may operate. Its earlier communique of 15 June 2022 on illegal offshore banking was re-published by the Ministry of Finance on 10 December 2025.
The Virtual Asset (Service Providers) (Amendment) Act, 2026 (Act 4 of 2026, published 24 March 2026) repealed a 2025 amendment and takes the issue by a tokenised mutual or private fund of its own digital equity or investment tokens out of virtual asset issuance, so that issue needs no VASP registration or licence; any other virtual-asset service the fund provides still does.
Legitimate-interest access to the BVI beneficial ownership register went live on 1 April 2026 in VIRRGIN (FSC Industry Circular 11 of 2026), and economic substance filings moved from BOSS to VIRRGIN on 2 January 2026.

The FSC's MiCA FAQ (question 7) expects at least one executive officer residing in Bulgaria and fully dedicated to the provider.
The beneficial ownership register moved from the BMA to the Registrar of Companies on 3 November 2025. The Beneficial Ownership Amendment Act 2026, in force 14 September 2026, sets 30 days for filing changes (was 14) and provides for legitimate-interest access, now set out in the Beneficial Ownership Regulations 2026; incorporation now needs the Registrar's consent under the Companies Act.

Malta's Virtual Financial Assets Act was repealed on 3 July 2026 under the Markets in Crypto-Assets Act (Cap. 647). VFA licensees could operate under the transitional regime only until 1 July 2026 or an earlier decision on their MiCA application, and the simplified route for them closed with it. Malta had 22 entries on ESMA's register of 24 September 2026. Our Malta guides now describe the MiCA-only regime, the MFSA fees under Legal Notice 295 of 2024 and the two-individual and Malta-based director rules of the MFSA MiCA Rulebook.
From 1 January 2026 virtual-currency exchange and wallet operators without a MiCA licence lost the right to operate in Lithuania (Law on Markets in Crypto-Assets, Article 22(3), as amended in May 2025). The Bank of Lithuania had licensed four crypto-asset service providers by February 2026.

The last national transitional periods under MiCA Article 143(3) ended on 1 July 2026. ESMA's public statement of 23 June 2026 told unauthorised providers to stop onboarding new EU clients and all marketing at once and to limit their services to selling, transferring or closing client positions. ESMA's register of 24 September 2026 lists 338 providers with a home state in the EU, a count that includes banks and other financial entities that notified under Article 60.
Finantsinspektsioon announced on 30 June 2026 that the transitional period for Estonian crypto-asset service providers was ending on 1 July 2026. One provider, Lightspark Payments Europe AS, holds its MiCA authorisation, and AS LHV Pank and the investment firm Lightyear Europe AS provide crypto-asset services on their existing licences. Our Estonia guides now state the supervision fee as the law sets it (1% of the MiCA capital class plus a volume part) and the Article 50 deferral of the Pillar Two rules.
By 1 July 2026 the Czech National Bank had granted MiCA licences to 11 entities and assessed 251 applications and notifications, 204 of them filed in the transitional period; the CNB says it received more MiCA applications than any other EU supervisor. Providers without a licence had to stop onboarding clients and wind down. Our Czech guides now use these figures, show MiCA's prudential safeguards as own funds or insurance, and give the statutory fees under the Court Fees Act.
CySEC announced on 10 July 2026 that from 1 July 2026 crypto-asset services in Cyprus may be provided only under MiCA; legacy registrants that applied by 27 February 2026 could continue only until CySEC decided or 1 July 2026. Cyprus is the fourth-largest home state on ESMA's register of 24 September 2026, with 24 entries. Our Cyprus guides now show the CySEC fees without a first-year waiver for CASPs, the separate DORA fee, and DAC8 as transposed by Law 38(I)/2026.
MONEYVAL closed the fifth evaluation round for Bulgaria on 17 June 2026; the country now rates compliant or largely compliant on all 40 FATF Recommendations (compliant on 13, largely compliant on 27). This is separate from the FATF grey list: FATF's statement of 19 June 2026 still lists Bulgaria, and its possible removal is expected to be considered at the October 2026 plenary after an on-site visit. Our Bulgaria guides now keep the two statuses apart.
Bulgaria's National Assembly adopted the amendments to the Tax and Social Security Procedure Code that transpose DAC8 on 9 September 2026, in force from 1 January 2026. Reporting crypto-asset service providers file with the National Revenue Agency by 30 June of the following year, so the first report, on 2026, is due by 30 June 2027. Our Bulgaria guides now show the reporting deadline.
The Financial Supervision Commission licensed FF Digital EOOD on 10 September 2026 as the first Bulgarian provider authorised to operate a crypto-asset trading platform, bringing Bulgaria's MiCA licences to five. The FSC fees under Ordinance No. 76 are stated in euro since 1 January 2026: EUR 5,112.92, 10,225.84 and 30,677.51 for Class 1, 2 and 3.

Presidential Decree UP-115 of 23 June 2026 raised the base calculation value (BRV) from UZS 412,000 to UZS 440,000 from 1 September 2026. NAPP licence duties, monthly fees and the crypto-exchange capital floor are all set in BRV and charged at the value in force on the payment date, so each rose about 6.8%.
The FSC issued its final Guidance Notes on Stablecoins on 13 August 2026. Stablecoins count as virtual assets under the VAITOS Act; a public offer is an initial token offering, so the issuer registers with the FSC as an ITO issuer and must hold segregated reserves, redeem at par within five days of a request and publish the reserve value daily. A fiat-pegged stablecoin issued in or from Mauritius also needs a Bank of Mauritius no-objection, and offering one as a payment instrument in Mauritius needs a Bank of Mauritius licence. The FSC will not consider algorithmic or yield-bearing stablecoins. Our Mauritius guide and the comparison data now show a stablecoin-issuance route.
The Consumption Tax Act 2025 imposes 12% on supplies and imports made in the Republic from 1 October 2026, and the Net Profit Tax Act 2025 imposes 16% on taxable income from sources in the Republic for tax years from 1 October 2026, keeping a gross revenue tax for small businesses carried on solely in the Republic. A Monetary Authority Act 2025 also moves the Banking Commissioner's functions to a new Monetary Authority. Foreign-source income of a Non-Resident entity stays outside the net profit tax; our Marshall Islands guides reflect this.
The National Agency for Virtual Assets and Blockchain Technologies (NAVA), created by Presidential Decree No. 186 of 28 May 2026, publishes the licence application forms, a 30-calendar-day review period, the licence registers and the state-duty details, while the Financial Market Regulatory and Supervisory Service supervises licensees. The state duty for a licence is 10 calculation units (KGS 1,000). Our Kyrgyzstan guides now name NAVA as the licensing body.
Cabinet of Ministers Resolution No. 257 of 17 April 2026 requires companies to name their beneficial owners at registration, required companies registered before 1 March 2026 to file them by 1 August 2026, and requires a notification at every ownership change.

The National Bank of Georgia amended its VASP registration rule (Order No. 207/04 of 26 August 2026, in force on publication): a registered provider must hold minimum supervisory capital of GEL 150,000 for exchange or transfer, GEL 250,000 for other services and GEL 350,000 for a trading platform, with the highest applying where several services are offered, and at least GEL 500,000 for a stablecoin issuer under the separate stablecoin rule. New applicants evidence it with a bank statement at filing; providers registered earlier have until 1 September 2027. Our Georgia guides and the comparison data now show the capital floor.
IGJ General Resolution 11/2026, published on 22 September 2026 and in force the next day, lets a company prove its cash contributions with a deposit or transfer at any bank or the notary's statement, instead of a deposit at the state bank, and drops the test of capital against the corporate object (Normas arts. 61-62). The Companies Law still requires 25% of cash capital paid in.
The CFTC published its proposed rule on public-interest determinations for prediction markets on 12 June 2026, with comments closing on 27 July. On 28 August 2026 the Ninth Circuit held that Kalshi had not shown a likelihood that the Commodity Exchange Act preempts Nevada's gaming law for its sports contracts. Our prediction-market guide reflects both.
On 4 September 2026 the Sejm vote to override the President's veto of the Crypto-Asset Market Act won 241 votes against the 266 required, so the act cannot enter into force. Poland still has no designated MiCA competent authority for CASPs, and our Poland guides say so; the radar keeps watching for a new bill.
The FSU's virtual asset business register search now returns three named registrants: Instacoins Global Markets, Paxum Bank Limited and SPC Reserves Ltd.

S.I.348/2026 sets a EUR 30,000 full-year levy for Central Bank-authorised CASPs for the 2025 levy period, prorated by authorised days and collected in arrears. This is a supervisory levy, not an application or renewal fee. The published rate is a planning benchmark, not a guarantee of the rate for future levy periods.
The clarification we were watching for had already arrived. The Finance Act 2025 (Act No. 18 of 2025) received presidential assent and was gazetted on 9 August 2025, and it extends the 80% partial exemption to income a licensed Virtual Asset Service Provider derives from the activities its licence covers, for years of assessment commencing on or after 1 July 2026. The exemption is conditional on prescribed substance requirements: a physical presence in Mauritius, core income-generating activity carried out in or from Mauritius, local management, and local staff. The effective rate on qualifying licensed-activity income is 3%, or 3.4% where the 2% Corporate Climate Responsibility levy applies. Income outside the licensed activity stays at the 15% headline rate. No FSC circular was needed; the statute did it.
Confirmed against the primary the same week it took effect. Government Resolution No. 638 of 18 July 2026 (adilet.zan.kz, read directly) approves the Rules for strategic digital mining, in force 1 August 2026: a voluntary scheme granting large mainland miners an electricity quota at regulated ceiling tariffs in exchange for transferring a share of mined assets, via the Astana Hub fund, toward the National Strategic Crypto Reserve. Entry requires an owned 150 MW+ mining data centre with 35 kV+ grid connection and 150 TH/s+ units; applications run through elicense.kz. The baseline mainland mining framework and the AIFC DASP perimeter are unchanged, so our Kazakhstan guidance holds as written; the page's mainland-mining section now cites the resolution.
The report arrived earlier than the November window we were watching. CFATF published its second Enhanced Follow-Up Report on 11 May 2026. It re-examined Recommendation 15, the virtual-asset standard, alone and kept it at partially compliant; with the first report of May 2025, four Recommendations have been re-examined since the evaluation and only Recommendation 5 was upgraded. Saint Vincent and the Grenadines is compliant or largely compliant on 31 of the 40 Recommendations, remains in enhanced follow-up, and will present its third and last follow-up report at the May 2027 Plenary.
The 19 June 2026 increased-monitoring statement left both tracked grey-listings unchanged: Bulgaria and the British Virgin Islands remain on the FATF grey list. Bulgaria's possible removal is expected to be considered at the October 2026 plenary.
Every jurisdiction guide carries a verified-as-of month: the last time its facts were deliberately confirmed against their primary sources and the result recorded in the comparison matrix that powers our tools. Routine site maintenance never moves these dates; only recorded research does. A guide missing from the ledger has no recorded verification date yet, which we treat as a gap to close, not a stamp to invent.
Verification data as of October 2026
The radar is the public face of the review machine behind our guide library: the same trigger calendar and figure checks that schedule our own re-research. Events enter the calendar when a regulator signals a development worth tracking, dated or not, and leave it when the outcome is recorded above. Nothing here is legal advice, and dates move: a pending act can be vetoed, and a plenary can defer a decision. Confirm the current position in the linked guide or a consultation before acting on it.
Each event is hand-curated into the same trigger calendar that schedules our internal content reviews, with a primary source attached: the register, gazette, report, or statement of the regulator, legislature, government, or standard-setter concerned. The radar publishes that calendar; it does not scrape or auto-generate events, so every entry reflects a deliberate editorial decision that a development is worth tracking.
It is the month a jurisdiction's facts were last deliberately confirmed. Three things move it: the comparison-matrix record updated after research, the whole guide re-read and re-checked, or a tracked key figure re-confirmed against its source. Routine site maintenance never moves the date, so a recent month reflects real verification work rather than cosmetic edits.
Confirming that something is still not published counts too. Where a regulator has left a fee, a capital floor or a licence category unpublished, we record the date we checked and the source we read, and we re-check it on the same clock as any other fact.
A watch item tracks a development a regulator has signalled but not scheduled, such as a pending law or an unpublished fee schedule. The date shown is our checkpoint: the point by which we expect movement and re-verify regardless. When the event lands, it moves to the confirmed list with its outcome and source.
The radar regenerates whenever the underlying calendar or verification records change, and a standing gate in our build fails if a published event is more than fourteen days past its date without an adjudicated outcome. An out-of-date radar therefore blocks our next release rather than lingering quietly, which is the property that makes the page worth trusting.
