Utopia was a darknet market similar to The Silk Road that facilitated sale of illegal items such as narcotics, firearms, stolen bank account information and forged identity documents.^[2] Utopia was based on Black Market Reloaded and has ties to it.^[3]^[4]

It was launched on 3 February 2014^[5] only to be shut down by Dutch police 8 days later.^[6] Undercover agents were able to buy large amounts of ecstasy (MDMA) and cocaine. 900 Bitcoin (then worth approximately £363,000) were seized.^[7]
