What It Is

Crypto (crypto.com) is a cryptocurrency exchange site. Crypto.com was founded by Rafael Melo, Kris Marszalek, Bobby Bao, and Gary Or. Crypto.com is headquartered in Singapore, though was initially founded in Hong Kong. Crypto.com had 10 million users by February 2021, before a pandemic-related bear market began later in 2021 and 2022. Crypto.com offers crypto financial services, crypto wallets, a crypto exchange for trading, and a crypto NFT marketplace.

Discussion

When I visited crypto.com, it redirected me to crypto.com/au and it showed me a custom message as someone in Australia that said: “Australia’s Premier Crypto Trading Platform. Buy Bitcoin, Ethereum, and 350+ cryptocurrencies with AUD.” In my opinion, this is likely to redirect to nearly all countries in the world and show a custom message to visitors from those countries as well as show the country’s local currency. Beneath this message was a link to download the crypto.com app.

Site Popularity/Traffic Data

As of December 2023, crypto.com has 5.217 million monthly views. Crypto.com was founded on December 22, 1996. The Internet Archive has saved crypto.com 22,669 times between December 22, 1996 and February 1, 2024.

I then ran a parasite scan with Unmask Parasites on crypto.com, and it is suspicious.

Unmask Parasites cites 1 suspicious inline script:

(function(){var js = "window['__CF$cv$params']={r:'84f0e5f94e2b2335',t:'MTcwNjg2MDgwNC42OTIwMDA='};_cpo=document.createEl...

I also checked crypto.com on VirusTotal, and it is clean.

URLVoid says crypto.com passed all blocklist engines.

In conclusion, we couldn’t grade crypto.com higher than relatively safe because of the suspicious inline script. OVERALL GRADE: Relatively Safe.
