# ActivateCurrency

## Permission Scope

currency

## Overview

ActivateCurrency re-enables a previously deactivated currency, making it available for new transactions. This command supports scenarios where a temporarily suspended currency needs to be restored to active use, such as resuming operations in a market after a temporary exit.

## Business Rules

- Target currency must exist in the system
- Target currency must be in Inactive status
- Activating an already active currency returns success with no state change
- No impact on historical transactions that used this currency while inactive
