Registrar contextNiceNIC
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, localcoinswap.exchange, was observed as an active cryptocurrency‑related scam site before being taken offline. The site’s page title advertised an “Anonymous No‑KYC Crypto Exchange — Buy & Sell Crypto Instantly,” a phrasing commonly used to lure users seeking anonymity. The intelligence explicitly lists Aave as the targeted brand, indicating a clear impersonation attempt. Registration data shows the domain was created on 11 August 2025 and is registered through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED.
DNS resolution points to the IP address 172.67.149.174, which belongs to Cloudflare, Inc. (AS13335) and is geolocated in the United States. No TLS certificate was observed for the domain, implying that the site operated without HTTPS protection. VirusTotal recorded a single positive detection out of ninety‑five scanners, and four independent blocklists—PhishDestroy, Polkadot, Enkrypt, and Codeesura—have listed the domain as malicious. The current status is offline and nameserver information is not available.
The evidence strongly supports a brand‑impersonation crypto scam, though the limited VirusTotal positives and lack of encryption leave some uncertainty about additional payloads that may have been delivered. Defenders should block traffic to 172.67.149.174 and add localcoinswap.exchange to domain blocklists across email gateways, web proxies, and endpoint protection solutions. Monitoring for new domains registered through the same registrar or exhibiting similar lexical patterns is advised, as the operator may reuse the infrastructure. Continuous review of threat‑intel feeds for updates on this indicator is recommended, especially if the domain reappears or related domains targeting Aave users are observed.

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.

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.
This timeline displays historical security and status checkpoints observed by the PhishDestroy automated monitoring network. It records domain lifecycle updates, scanner changes, and threat telemetry over time.
13 recorded events. These records describe collected evidence, outgoing notifications and publication; they do not confirm a complete investigation or a takedown.
