…ebrands & data bugs Audited all 35 entries on the Get ETH exchange list (last updated 2025-10-21) against current reality (July 2026) with web research + verification. Remove defunct services: - Bittrex: Bittrex Global halted all trading Dec 2023, entities in liquidation - Easy Crypto: acquired by Swyftx; NZ ceased trading Mar 2026 - simplex: dead reference (no name/url defined, rendered nothing) in 212 countries - wyre: Wyre shut down June 2023; dead reference in 55 countries Fix outdated brand names & URLs (rebrands): - Huobi Global -> HTX (huobi.com -> www.htx.com), rebranded Sep 2023 - Gate.io -> Gate (gate.io -> gate.com), rebranded May 2025 - Matrixport -> BIT (matrixport.com -> bit.com), rebranded Mar 2026 - Bitbuy URL -> bitbuy.ca/en-ca (resolved localized homepage) Fix data-integrity bugs: - Kraken usaExceptions was ["NY, WA"] (single string) -> ["NY", "WA"] - Deduplicated repeated exchange keys within country arrays (e.g. Peer) - Bumped exchangesByCountryLastUpdated timestamp Geographic-listing accuracy findings (many exchanges list countries they no longer serve, e.g. Binance/Gemini EU exits) are documented in the linked issue for maintainer review rather than applied here, as they depend on third-party availability trackers.

…ving them Apply the verified geographic-accuracy corrections from the audit (issue linked). Removes countries where the exchange no longer operates / actively geoblocks: - HTX (huobiglobal): all 27 EU member states (post-MiCA, 1 Jul 2026) + China, HK, Iran - Gemini: EU/EEA, UK, Australia exit - Gate, Itez, KuCoin, Bybit, Bitfinex, MoonPay, Mt Pelerin, Coinmama, Kraken, WazirX, Coinbase, Crypto.com, BIT: remove listed countries they don't serve (regulatory blocks + sanctioned/embargoed jurisdictions) - KuCoin: remove US territories (CFTC consent order bars US + territories) Additions: - OKX: add United States (compliant US exchange relaunched Apr 2025, spot ETH), with usaExceptions for states not covered (NY, TX, KY, NV, HI, WV) Binance is intentionally left untouched: despite the reported MiCA-related EU halt, it appears to still operate in the EU, so its country list is unchanged pending confirmation (tracked in the linked issue).

Description
Audit of the Get ETH exchange list, which was last updated 2025-10-21. I reviewed all 35 entries against current reality (July 2026): URL health, operating status, rebrands/shutdowns, whether ETH is still purchasable, geographic-listing accuracy, and data integrity. Full findings + evidence: #18651.

usaExceptionsfor states not covered (NY, TX, KY, NV, HI, WV).Every geographic removal was diff-checked against the intended target set — no country was removed from a non-target exchange, and no country array was left empty.
Intentionally excluded: Binance. Despite the reported MiCA-related EU service halt (1 Jul 2026), Binance appears to still be operating in the EU, so I left its country list unchanged pending confirmation. Tracked in #18651.

Notes
src/data/networks/cex-layer-2-onboard.tsalso references defunct "Bittrex Global" (different feature) — flagged in Get ETH exchange list is stale: defunct exchanges, rebrands, and geographic inaccuracies (audit July 2026) #18651, not touched here.Testing
eslint+prettier: clean (pre-commit hook enforced).pnpm type-check: no new type errors (sole errorreact-tweetinTweetEmbed.tsxis a pre-existing local dependency gap, unrelated).
