Exchange record

Stocks.exchange

Centralized cryptocurrency exchange originally known as Stocks.exchange and later presented as STEX. Market-data references describe STEX as previously Stocks.exchange and launched around 2017. Current tracker pages show no available markets / no operational trading data or mark the exchange as no longer operational, so HEI models the record as inactive rather than dead.

Notes and record state

Record note
HEI treats Stocks.exchange and STEX as the same historical exchange record because multiple tracker references describe STEX as previously Stocks.exchange. The record is inactive rather than dead because the evidence set supports no active market data / no longer operational status, but does not establish a clean official terminal shutdown date.
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
