Stored registration data identifies NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED (IANA 3765) as the registrar. PhishDestroy maintains separate NiceNIC abuse-report research; registrar association is contextual and is not an independent detection for this domain.
This domain, bitfinex.exchange, was identified as a brand impersonation threat targeting Bitfinex, a cryptocurrency exchange. Registered on March 12, 2026, through NiceNIC International Group Co., Limited, the domain resolved to a Cloudflare-hosted IP (104.21.38.248, AS13335) and used Cloudflare nameservers (linda.ns.cloudflare.com, rommy.ns.cloudflare.com). The site presented a page title indicating a crypto trading interface (▼ 67,517 BTC/USD | Bitfinex | Trade Crypto | BTC to USD), aligning with the reported scam type of a crypto scam. Detection by security vendors is limited but confirmed: 2 of 94 vendors on VirusTotal flagged the domain, and it appears on three security blocklists.
Blocking actions have been taken by PhishDestroy, MetaMask, and SEAL. The domain employed a Let's Encrypt SSL certificate (E8) and utilized technologies including React, HSTS, and Cloudflare Browser Insights. As of July 25, 2026, the domain is offline, though its prior infrastructure remains documented. Defenders should treat this domain as a confirmed impersonation threat, particularly for users engaging with cryptocurrency platforms.
Review firewall and endpoint logs for connections to 104.21.38.248 or requests to bitfinex.exchange, and update blocklists to include the domain and associated IP. Given the use of Cloudflare, additional scrutiny of domains with similar nameserver patterns may be warranted. No further content analysis is available at this time.

Accreditation and RAA context
Registrar accreditation and DNS abuse obligations
For this gTLD, the registrar above operates under an ICANN accreditation agreement. The links below provide the official fee schedule and current DNS abuse compliance guidance.
Accreditation is a contract, not a safety certification.
RAA §3.18 establishes abuse-contact and handling requirements. This report can document stored outbound notices and later technical observations; it does not by itself establish receipt, investigation, remediation, or contractual non-compliance.
Saved certificate metadata. Certificate dates without a timezone are shown as stored. Transport encryption does not establish that the site is trustworthy.

Availability, content, DNS and registration are independent evidence layers. NXDOMAIN, an unreachable origin or missing content alone does not prove registrar action. A registrar or provider is credited only when a direct technical marker identifies that actor. Report causality is shown separately.
