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 is flagged as an elevated-risk brand impersonation threat designed to exploit users of the Aave decentralized finance protocol. Analysis indicates the site masquerades as a legitimate cryptocurrency exchange platform, specifically promoting Bitcoin-to-USDT swaps without KYC requirements—a common tactic to lure victims into fraudulent transactions or wallet-draining schemes. Infrastructure analysis reveals the domain was registered on August 07, 2025, through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED. It resolves to the IP address 172.67.159.45 and employs Cloudflare with HTTP/3 support, alongside a Google Trust Services SSL certificate. Security vendors on VirusTotal flagged the domain at 8/95, while Gridinsoft assigned a trust score of 0/100. The domain appears on four security blocklists, including Polkadot, Codeesura, PhishDestroy, and Enkrypt. The page title, 'Bitcoin to USDT Exchange — Fast, No-KYC, Anonymous Crypto Swap,' aligns with known patterns of crypto drainer and impersonation campaigns targeting DeFi users. Mitigation requires immediate action from Aave protocol users and security teams. Users should verify all transaction links against official Aave communication channels and avoid interacting with unsolicited crypto swap services. Security teams are advised to block the domain and its resolving IP (172.67.159.45) at the network level, update endpoint protection rules to flag related URLs, and monitor for similar impersonation domains registered through NICENIC or using Cloudflare-hosted infrastructure. Wallet providers should integrate blocklist updates to prevent transactions to this domain or associated addresses.

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.
