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.
paperstrades.com is an impersonation phishing page that presents itself as "Paper Season Crates · papertrade," borrowing the papertrade name to look like an official seasonal rewards drop. It targets crypto users who follow the project and expect crate or reward campaigns. PhishDestroy first detected it on 2026-10-07. As of 2026-10-19 the domain was still alive, and its content was reachable through a redirect.
How the scam works
A "season crates" theme is bait. It promises free or limited-time rewards and pushes visitors to act quickly before the crates supposedly run out. Pages of this type ask the visitor to connect a wallet and approve a transaction or sign a message to "open" or "claim" the crate. That signature gives the operator permission to move tokens or NFTs out of the wallet. The victim receives no reward and can lose any assets covered by the approval they granted.
Evidence
Several wallet-focused security teams flag the site independently. MetaMask, ScamSniffer and SEAL all list it alongside PhishDestroy, and Spamhaus DBL carries it as a phishing domain. On VirusTotal, 7 of 92 engines flagged it as of 2026-10-11: alphaMountain.ai, CRDF, Forcepoint ThreatSeeker, Fortinet, Gridinsoft, SOCRadar and VIPRE. That is a modest ratio, so many generic scanners still let it through, which makes the wallet blocklists the more reliable signal here. The domain also appears in 2 AlienVault OTX threat pulses.
Infrastructure
The domain was registered on 2026-10-05 through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED and was already serving phishing content two days later. A short gap like that suggests the domain was bought specifically for this campaign. The site sits behind Cloudflare (AS13335, US), so the address it resolves to belongs to the proxy network rather than the operator's actual server. Its certificate comes from Let's Encrypt, which means the padlock in the browser says nothing about whether the site is legitimate.
What to do
If you connected a wallet or signed anything on paperstrades.com, use a token-approval checker to revoke every permission granted around that time. Then move the remaining assets to a fresh wallet you control. Never enter a seed phrase on a claim page, and if you already typed it here, treat that wallet as fully compromised. Before trusting any crate or reward campaign, confirm it through papertrade's official channels. Security teams should block the domain at DNS and proxy level and report it to Cloudflare and the registrar.

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.
