There are approximately 5–6 years’ worth of Darknet Market announcements on Dread, most of which are now defunct due to various reasons such as exit scamming, seizures, etc. I am sharing those announcements with you.

In Part 1 of this article, I will share with you the announcements of what is currently considered the Top 5 marketplaces. I will also be adding tidbits for the market such as Cryptos supported.

Please keep in mind that a Marketplace announcement does not mean that the marketplace opened on this exact date. If an exact date or estimated date is known, it will be provided next to the market. Markets are in alphabetical order and not by size!

Now let us dive in..!
