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.
The domain degex.exchange is a confirmed fake cryptocurrency exchange designed for generic phishing activity. It presents itself as 'edgeX Exchange' offering ultra-fast DEX trading with deep liquidity, but operates as a scam to deceive users into depositing funds or entering sensitive credentials. No legitimate brand or drainer kit is associated with this domain. As of the latest verification, degex.exchange has been taken offline.
Technical indicators confirm the elevated risk posed by degex.exchange. The domain is flagged by 2 of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal, including Fortinet and SOCRadar, and appears on 1 security blocklist (PhishDestroy). It was registered on 2026-02-21 through NiceNIC International Group Co., Limited and resolves to the IP address 188.114.96.3, hosted on Cloudflare's network (AS13335) in the US. The SSL certificate is issued by Google Trust Services / WE1, and the site employed technologies such as HSTS, Cloudflare, and HTTP/3. Google Safe Browsing does not currently flag the domain, but its Gridinsoft trust score is 0/100, reinforcing its malicious nature.
Users who interacted with degex.exchange should immediately revoke any token approvals and transfer remaining funds to a new, secure wallet. If credentials were entered, change passwords on all associated accounts and enable two-factor authentication. Monitor financial and crypto accounts for unauthorized transactions. Report the domain to platforms like Google Safe Browsing, PhishTank, or local cybercrime authorities to aid in takedown efforts and protect others from this phishing scam.

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.
