Blockbid

Exchange record

Melbourne-based centralized cryptocurrency exchange whose public beta began on April 16, 2018 after registration with AUSTRAC. The former exchange website is now offline, but no reliable first-party closure announcement or exact terminal date has been recovered, so HEI classifies Blockbid as inactive rather than dead.

Notes and record state

Record note

The April 16 date is the public beta launch marker. Contemporary reporting discussed a later full-scale launch, but the beta offered cryptocurrency and fiat trading and is used as the service launch for HEI. The current domain failure does not by itself establish a shutdown date or death reason.
