These checks passed — but they don't clear the site. A clean antivirus result, valid SSL, and a calm server only mean it isn't hosting malware; they say nothing about whether the business is real. This verdict is based on the site's conduct and content, not a malware detection.

Confidence
The domain ripple-swap.com was registered only 19 days ago and presents itself as an official XRP Ledger DeFi protocol called 'RippleSwap.' Our antivirus network detected strong consensus malice: 16 of 92 engines flagged it as malicious or phishing, including BitDefender, CyRadar, ADMINUSLabs, and CRDF. The page impersonates MetaMask (a legitimate wallet provider) on a non-official domain, a classic credential-harvesting pattern. The site displays fake liquidity pools, staking rewards, and bridge functionality with fabricated TVL figures and APY rates designed to lure users into connecting their wallets. No legitimate business contact information, phone number, or postal address is provided. The combination of brand impersonation, newly-registered domain, high antivirus detection rate, and wallet-connection prompts indicates this is a phishing operation targeting cryptocurrency holders.
Full dossier
Analysis complete

Page Content

The page mimics a legitimate DeFi protocol interface, displaying fake swap, bridge, staking, and lending features. It prominently features MetaMask wallet integration alongside XUMM, GemWallet, and Crossmark wallets. The site claims to offer ultra-low fees, instant finality, and daily XRP rewards, with fabricated liquidity pool data (e.g., 'XRP/USDT TVL: $48.2M, 18.4% APY'). The primary call-to-action is 'Connect Wallet,' which would harvest user credentials.

Infrastructure

Hosted on IP 186.2.175.35 with valid SSL (Let's Encrypt, 70 days to expiry). The IP has an abuse score of 0/100 but carries 2 abuse reports. No significant traffic ranking. External resources loaded from fonts.googleapis.com only.

Domain History

Registered 19 days ago via Gname.com Pte. Ltd. with privacy protection disabled. The extremely recent registration combined with the sophisticated phishing interface is a hallmark of credential-harvesting campaigns. No legitimate business would launch a DeFi protocol on a brand-new domain without prior reputation or community presence.

Web Reputation

Sixteen antivirus engines (ADMINUSLabs, alphaMountain.ai, BitDefender, Chong Lua Dao, CRDF, CyRadar, and others) classify the domain as malicious or phishing. Browser blocklists remain clean, likely because the domain is too new to have been widely reported. Independent review aggregators show no data, consistent with a newly-launched scam site.

Risk Factors
7
  • 16 of 92 antivirus engines flag as malicious or phishing, including tier-1 detectors BitDefender and CyRadar.
  • Domain registered only 19 days ago; legitimate DeFi protocols have established histories and community presence.
  • Impersonates MetaMask (a real wallet provider) on a non-official domain — classic credential-harvesting pattern.
  • Displays fabricated liquidity pools, staking rewards, and APY rates to lure users into connecting wallets.
  • No phone number, postal address, or legitimate business contact information provided.
  • Primary function is a 'Connect Wallet' button designed to harvest cryptocurrency credentials.
  • Hosting IP carries 2 abuse reports despite low overall abuse score.
Positive Signals
2
  • Valid SSL certificate issued by Let's Encrypt.
  • Hosting IP abuse score is 0/100 (though this is outweighed by antivirus consensus).

Brand impersonation detected

This page is styled as a known brand but is not the brand's real site.

  • Do not interact with ripple-swap.com

    Do not enter credentials, deposit money, download files, or install browser extensions from this site.

  • Go to the brand's real site directly

    Type the brand name into a search engine or open it from your bookmarks — don't use links from emails, SMS, ads, or social posts, which are the delivery vectors for impersonation.

  • Never download or sign in here

    Even if the page "just" offers a download or a giveaway, impersonation pages frequently deliver malware or set up follow-up phishing. Assume anything accepted from this site is hostile.

  • Report the impersonation to the brand

    Most major brands have a dedicated abuse or anti-phishing reporting channel — reporting helps them take the site down and protects other users.

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 flags ripple-swap.com as dangerous. Multiple threat indicators were detected — treat the site as a scam until proven otherwise.
  • No — ripple-swap.com scored 1/100 on our trust scale. We detected active threat indicators, so we recommend avoiding the site entirely.
  • Yes. ripple-swap.com presents a valid TLSv1.3 certificate issued by Let's Encrypt · R12, expiring in 70 days. Note that SSL only encrypts the connection — it does not guarantee that the site itself is trustworthy.
  • ripple-swap.com is 19 days old, registered on 5/25/2026 through Gname.com Pte. Ltd.. Scam domains are often freshly registered — a site under 6 months old warrants extra caution.
  • 18 out of 92 antivirus engines in our malware network flagged ripple-swap.com as malicious or suspicious (16 outright malicious). Even one detection is a meaningful signal.
  • No. ripple-swap.com is not currently listed on the major browser blocklist feeds that modern browsers use.
  • ripple-swap.com resolves to an IP operated by IQWeb FZ-LLC in BZ (usage type: Data Center/Web Hosting/Transit). 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 13, 2026. The verdict and evidence above reflect that scan and do not change on their own. If circumstances around ripple-swap.com have changed, MalwareTips staff can run a fresh scan, which re-runs every check from scratch and publishes an updated report.
