iCoinbay

Historical centralized digital-asset exchange active by 2018 and documented through 2019. The original domain still resolves but its present page is contaminated with unrelated casino/SEO links, so HEI does not treat it as evidence of a functioning current exchange.

Summary

Historical centralized digital-asset exchange active by 2018 and documented through 2019. The original domain still resolves but its present page is contaminated with unrelated casino/SEO links, so HEI does not treat it as evidence of a functioning current exchange.

Timeline

iCoinbay domain was observed as an untrustworthy current exchange surface

HEI's review found that the original iCoinbay domain still resolved and retained stale exchange text, but the page also contained extensive unrelated casino and SEO links and could not be relied on as evidence of an operating exchange.

Notes and record state

Record note
CryptoCompare evaluated iCoinBay trading data in 2018 and selected it for CCCAGG inclusion, while iCoinbay's own historical publication and a company-supplied 2018 release describe a functioning tokenized community exchange. HEI does not assert an exact launch date because the reviewed sources establish operation in 2018 but not a reliable launch day or month. No reliable operator shutdown notice or terminal date was recovered, so status is conservatively `inactive` with death_date and death_reason null. The current original domain contains stale exchange copy alongside extensive unrelated casino/SEO links; HEI therefore classifies the URL as `unsafe` and does not infer continuing exchange operation. A Shanghai dateline in a syndicated company release is not sufficient evidence of incorporation, licensing, or exchange origin, so country_or_origin remains Unknown.
