Recently incorporated exchange with one verifiable registration record
Baerx is a digital-asset exchange operated by AURORA TECH LIMITED, a British Columbia company incorporated on 2 November 2025. This edition assesses the operator and its registration status against primary records, and explains what a Canadian FINTRAC money services business registration does and does not give a user. It also reports the first seven withdrawals this publication executed itself, each with a transaction hash published so readers can check it. Fees beyond those withdrawal deductions, execution quality, order-book depth, fiat rails and custody remain untested.
