Confidence
The domain has been registered since 1993 and is owned by Nasdaq, Inc., a publicly traded company in the United States. Our antivirus network shows zero detections across 92 different security engines. The site is a primary source for global market data and is subject to strict financial regulations. While some third-party alerts mention 'Nasdaq' in relation to crypto fraud, these refer to scammers impersonating the brand, not the official website itself. We have confirmed this is the legitimate, non-cloned version of the exchange's digital presence.

Page Content

The site provides comprehensive market activity data, including the Nasdaq-100 index, real-time stock quotes, and financial news. It features professional navigation for institutional and retail investors alike.

Infrastructure

The domain uses high-grade SSL encryption issued by GlobalSign and is hosted on a secure, reputable IP range with no history of abuse. It loads resources from verified financial and analytics partners.

Domain History

Registered over 31 years ago in 1993, the domain is managed by MarkMonitor, a registrar typically used by major corporations to protect high-value brands. This longevity is a primary indicator of legitimacy.

Research summary
Narrative write-up from our AI analyst, grounded on the facts above
Our research confirms this is the official website of Nasdaq, Inc. We found regulatory alerts from the Washington Department of Financial Institutions and official warnings on the site itself regarding scammers who impersonate the Nasdaq brand to promote fake cryptocurrency schemes. Independent review sites contain some complaints from victims of these external impersonation scams, but there is no evidence of fraudulent activity originating from the nasdaq.com domain.

Still, stay alert

No major threat indicators — but a clean scan does not guarantee every page is safe, and phishing emails routinely spoof real domains.

  • Double-check the exact URL in your address bar

    Confirm you are actually on nasdaq.com and not a lookalike like n-asdaq.com.com or an IDN homoglyph.

  • Use a password manager

    Password managers only auto-fill on the exact domain they were saved for — they refuse to fill lookalike domains, which is the single best phishing defence.

  • Discuss this site on the forum

    If you have first-hand experience with this site — good or bad — share it with the MalwareTips community.

Safety FAQ

Common questions about this site, answered directly from the scan data above — so the answers always reflect the latest verdict on this page.

  • Our automated security review found no threat indicators on nasdaq.com. The site appears legitimate based on the signals we checked, but always stay alert for phishing emails that spoof real domains.
  • nasdaq.com passed our automated security checks with a trust score of 94/100. No antivirus engines or major blacklists flagged the site at the time of the last scan.
  • Yes. nasdaq.com presents a valid TLSv1.3 certificate issued by GlobalSign nv-sa · GlobalSign Atlas R46 DV TLS CA 2026 Q2, expiring in 69 days. Note that SSL only encrypts the connection — it does not guarantee that the site itself is trustworthy.
  • nasdaq.com is 32.5 years old, registered on 12/16/1993 through MarkMonitor Inc.. Scam domains are often freshly registered — a site under 6 months old warrants extra caution.
  • No. All 92 antivirus engines in our malware network report nasdaq.com as clean.
  • No. nasdaq.com is not currently listed on the major browser blocklist feeds that modern browsers use.
  • nasdaq.com resolves to an IP operated by Incapsula Inc in US (usage type: Content Delivery Network). Hosting location alone doesn't make a site good or bad, but unusual geography for a brand's claimed country is one of many signals we weigh.
  • This is a permanent record of the scan run on June 19, 2026. The verdict and evidence above reflect that scan and do not change on their own. If circumstances around nasdaq.com have changed, MalwareTips staff can run a fresh scan, which re-runs every check from scratch and publishes an updated report.
