Cryptopia was a digital asset exchange operated by Rob Dawson and Adam Clark between 2014 and 2019. The exchange was based in Christchurch, New Zealand. Dawson and Clark were better known to customers by their online usernames "Hex" and "sa_ddam213". Dawson has said that he and Clark were compelled to build Cryptopia after negative experiences with other exchanges, and "a desire to build the website that we ourselves wanted to use."
