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.
Analysis of coin-ex.global, created on February 21 2026 and hosted behind Cloudflare (AS13335) in the United States, shows multiple indicators of malicious activity. The domain resolves to IP address 104.21.85.187 and serves HTTP responses with status code 200, indicating an active web service. The TLS certificate is issued by Google Trust Services under the WE1 branch, confirming a valid HTTPS connection, but the presence of a legitimate certificate does not mitigate the observed threat signals. The registrar listed is NiceNIC International Group Co., Limited and the authoritative nameservers are ed.ns.cloudflare.com and elaine.ns.cloudflare.com, both Cloudflare‑managed, a common setup for fast‑flipping or proxy‑based phishing sites. The page title returned by the server is "CoinEx - Investment Platform," aligning with the reported crypto scam classification.
Security intelligence flags the domain on three blocklists, and it has been explicitly blocked by PhishDestroy, MetaMask, and SEAL, suggesting that both generic phishing and cryptocurrency‑focused defenses have identified it as hostile. VirusTotal scans report three detections out of ninety‑three vendors, reinforcing the suspicion despite the relatively low detection count. Gridinsoft assigns a trust score of 0 out of 100, indicating a high likelihood of malicious intent. Technology fingerprinting reveals a Node.js back‑end running Express, with Cloudflare Browser Insights and HTTP/3 enabled, a stack often leveraged for rapid deployment of phishing infrastructure.
While the precise content of the site beyond the title has not been publicly disclosed, the convergence of registration timing, active hosting, blocklist presence, vendor detections, and the crypto‑related page title provides sufficient evidence for security teams to treat coin-ex.global as a high‑risk threat.
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.
