About CoinIvy
CoinIvy is a fact-check site for crypto coins, made in Calgary, Alberta. Type a coin's name or ticker and you get the short version, the same 9 checks for every coin, who controls it, its supply, how it trades, how coins like it have done in the past, and red flags. It covers 187 coins, from Bitcoin to small tokens. Prices show in Canadian or US dollars.
What CoinIvy does not do
It never tells you to buy, hold or sell, never rates or scores a coin, and never forecasts prices. It promotes no coin or token, has no affiliate links and takes no payments from coin projects. See How CoinIvy makes money.
What is checked
- Who controls the coin, whether anyone can create more or freeze holders' coins, and whether its contract code can be changed
- Supply, unlocks and insider holdings
- Network use, fees and who receives them
- Trading volume and turnover
- Hacks, outages and legal actions
- Claims made by projects, compared with records such as registries and chain data
Where the facts come from
Free public sources, each named on the page where it is used: CoinGecko for prices and supply, DefiLlama for fees and revenue, GoPlus for token-contract permissions, the Bank of Canada for exchange rates, and project documents and public records. The History card uses CoinMarketCap's weekly rankings since 2013, including coins that later disappeared.
How often it is updated
Once a month. Every page shows the date its facts were checked. The facts on this version were checked on 31 Oct 2026.
