DragonEX

Exchange record

Singapore-linked centralized cryptocurrency exchange launched on November 2, 2017. DragonEX suffered a major March 2019 cyberattack and is now marked by exchange trackers as inactive or no longer operational, but HEI does not assign a terminal shutdown date because no sufficiently strong official closure notice has been established.

Notes and record state

Record note

The existing launch and March 2019 hack events are not duplicated. Current DragonEX-branded domains on unrelated domains are not treated as proof that the original dragonex.io exchange resumed. Keep inactive rather than assigning a death_reason or death_date without stronger terminal evidence.

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
