Exchange record

Stocks.exchange

Centralized cryptocurrency exchange launched under the Stocks.exchange name and renamed STEX in September 2018. Later market-data and exchange-status references show no active trading markets or describe the original STEX cryptocurrency exchange as no longer operational, so HEI retains inactive status without assigning an unsupported terminal date.

Notes and record state

Record note
Stocks.exchange and STEX are treated as one historical exchange identity. The September 2018 rename is recorded as a non-terminal brand event; inactive status reflects the later lack of operational market evidence. Current unrelated uses of the STEX name or ticker are not treated as continuity of this cryptocurrency exchange.
Revision state
