Audit log

Every state-changing event for New Era Crypto Exchange: moderation decisions on community submissions, plus corrections and updates from the news pipeline. URL-based decisions are designed to carry three independent witnesses — the original source, an Internet Archive snapshot, and a Solana memo signed by our publicly-disclosed publisher key. Archive coverage is still being backfilled, so each decision below reports its own snapshot status rather than assuming one exists.

The ASC's entry states the firm, operating via the domain newerawe.com and associated or rotating mirror websites, is not registered or otherwise authorized to trade in or advise on securities or derivatives in Alberta. Entities on the Investment Caution List are not necessarily fraudulent per se, but the listing signals that the ASC considers the entity to be soliciting Alberta residents without the required registration, which is itself a basis for investor caution.","heading":"Alberta Securities Commission Investment Caution List Entry","severity":"high","sources":[{"credibility":1,"name":"ASC Investment Caution List — New Era Crypto Exchange","type":"regulatory","url":"https://www.asc.ca/Enforcement/Investment-Caution-List/n/New-Era-Crypto-Exchange"}]},{"content":"The ASC's caution list entry states that New Era Crypto Exchange has made false claims of an association with D.E. Shaw & Co., a large, privately held U.S. investment management firm. According to the ASC, D.E. Shaw & Co. has publicly stated it has no relationship with New Era Crypto Exchange. Falsely invoking the name of a well-known, legitimate financial institution to lend an unregistered platform an appearance of credibility is a pattern commonly associated with investment fraud schemes, though AVOID.NET has not independently located a separate public statement from D.E. Shaw & Co. beyond what is cited in the ASC notice.","heading":"Alleged False Claim of Affiliation with D.E. Shaw & Co.","severity":"critical","sources":[{"credibility":1,"name":"ASC Investment Caution List — New Era Crypto Exchange","type":"regulatory","url":"https://www.asc.ca/Enforcement/Investment-Caution-List/n/New-Era-Crypto-Exchange"}]},{"content":"The ASC's warning regarding New Era Crypto Exchange appears on the International Organization of Securities Commissions' (IOSCO) International Securities & Commodities Alerts Network (I-SCAN), under alert ID 52090, listing the Alberta Securities Commission as the national competent authority. I-SCAN aggregates investor warnings issued by securities regulators worldwide, and an entry there indicates the alert has been shared for cross-border regulatory awareness, though it does not represent an independent finding by IOSCO itself. AVOID.NET was unable to directly retrieve the I-SCAN page's full text to confirm the exact republication date; a precise day should not be treated as established pending direct confirmation.","heading":"Cross-Border Distribution via IOSCO I-SCAN","severity":"medium","sources":[{"credibility":1,"name":"IOSCO I-SCAN — New Era Crypto Exchange","type":"regulatory","url":"https://www.iosco.org/i-scan/?id=52090"}]},{"content":"A commentary site, BehindMLM, which tracks multi-level-marketing and Ponzi-style schemes, has published separate articles describing securities fraud warnings against a platform referred to as 'NewEra Exchange' issued by Alberta and British Columbia securities regulators. Other reporting references a distinct platform, 'New Era Web' (neweraweb.com), warned about by the Washington State Department of Financial Institutions in connection with an alleged romance-style investment scam with reported losses of roughly $850,000; this appears to be a different entity from New Era Crypto Exchange and should not be conflated with it. Because several similarly-named 'New Era' branded crypto or FX platforms have drawn separate regulatory warnings, the exact relationship between these entities (whether common operators, copycat branding, or coincidental naming) is unconfirmed and should be treated as a low-confidence pattern observation rather than an established fact.","heading":"Related or Similarly-Named Entities","severity":"medium","sources":[{"credibility":3,"name":"NewEra Exchange securities fraud warning from Canada (AB) — BehindMLM","type":"community_report","url":"https://behindmlm.com/companies/click-a-button-app-ponzis/newera-exchange-securities-fraud-warning-frm-canada-ab/"},{"credibility":3,"name":"NewEra Exchange securities fraud warning from Canada (BC) — BehindMLM","type":"community_report","url":"https://behindmlm.com/companies/click-a-button-app-ponzis/newera-exchange-securities-fraud-warning-from-canada-bc/"},{"credibility":1,"name":"Washington State DFI — Investment Scam Tracker: New Era Web","type":"regulatory","url":"https://dfi.wa.gov/alerts/alleged-cryptocurrency-trading-platform-new-era-web-appears-be-engaged-fraud"}]}],"sources_used":[{"credibility":1,"name":"ASC Investment Caution List — New Era Crypto Exchange","type":"regulatory","url":"https://www.asc.ca/Enforcement/Investment-Caution-List/n/New-Era-Crypto-Exchange"},{"credibility":1,"name":"IOSCO I-SCAN — New Era Crypto Exchange","type":"regulatory","url":"https://www.iosco.org/i-scan/?id=52090"},{"credibility":3,"name":"NewEra Exchange securities fraud warning from Canada (AB) — BehindMLM","type":"community_report","url":"https://behindmlm.com/companies/click-a-button-app-ponzis/newera-exchange-securities-fraud-warning-frm-canada-ab/"},{"credibility":3,"name":"NewEra Exchange securities fraud warning from Canada (BC) — BehindMLM","type":"community_report","url":"https://behindmlm.com/companies/click-a-button-app-ponzis/newera-exchange-securities-fraud-warning-from-canada-bc/"},{"credibility":1,"name":"Washington State DFI — Investment Scam Tracker: New Era Web","type":"regulatory","url":"https://dfi.wa.gov/alerts/alleged-cryptocurrency-trading-platform-new-era-web-appears-be-engaged-fraud"}],"summary":"New Era Crypto Exchange, operating via newerawe.com and alleged rotating mirror domains, was placed on the Alberta Securities Commission's Investment Caution List on May 13, 2026. The ASC alleges the firm is not registered to trade or advise on securities or derivatives in Alberta and falsely claimed an affiliation with US investment manager D.E. Shaw & Co. The warning was subsequently republished on IOSCO's I-SCAN cross-border alert network, and the firm's name closely resembles a cluster of similarly-named 'New Era' crypto and FX platforms flagged by other regulators, though it is unclear whether these are the same operation.","timeline":[{"date":"2026-05-13","date_evidence":"Date added to the list: May 13, 2026","event":"Alberta Securities Commission adds New Era Crypto Exchange (newerawe.com) to its Investment Caution List, alleging it is unregistered and falsely claimed an affiliation with D.E.
