Coinapult

Bitcoin wallet, payment-processing, brokerage, and exchange-like service founded around 2012. Coinapult restored service after a March 2015 hot-wallet compromise and continued through later banking and wallet integrations, but independent wallet tracking marked the service no longer operational by December 2018; HEI retains inactive status because no formal shutdown notice establishes an exact terminal date.

Notes and record state

Record note
Coinapult was primarily a wallet, broker, payment, and liquidity service rather than a conventional order-book exchange. The 2015 hack and restoration are already represented in canonical history. Current coinapult.com content is repurposed and is not treated as continuity of the original service.
Revision state
Records may be incomplete, approximate, contested, or revised as better evidence becomes available.
This record may be incomplete or revised. Dead-side entries prefer archived URLs over original domains. Dates, causes, and classifications may change when stronger evidence becomes available. Contact / corrections
