Lots of .com domains with “blockchain” in them were registered last month.
“Block” and “chain” were among the top ten trending words in new .com domain name registrations last month, according to .com registry Verisign.
I’m not sure why Verisign didn’t combine these into just “blockchain,” but they were good for both the #3 and #4 spots on Verisign’s monthly list.
“Drone” was the number one trending keyword in .net registrations.
Here’s the full list of trending keywords in .com. Keep in mind that these rankings are not based on absolute numbers; they are based on percentage increase over the previous month.
1. Year
2. Near
3. Block
4. Chain
5. Seed
6. Floor
7. Employment
8. Webcam
9. Halal
10. Educate

Andrew- I am not that surprised that “blockchain” names are trending but the break-up of the 2 likely has more to do with names that are just using one of the 2 combined with another name (i.e. blockpay.com which just sold the other day for $4,550)
Also- perhaps the interest also has something to do with the rise of bitcoin this year (up nearly 30% YTD).
Cheers,
Mike

bankingblockchainsolutions.com for sale

That’s probably because people registered domains with “Block” at the front of the domain. “Chain” is registered at the end.

Not a .com but I own BlockChain.Bar and interest has increased significantly this past month and:) same with Crypto.Show which is even better imho 🙂 Ethereum.Show is gaining interest as well with ETH up to over $ 30 as of 4 PM EST today 🙂

I have Blockchain.link, which imo is slightly better but I am biased.

Next month is already trending HSA and Bot names.
Pretty much everyone will have an HSA in 5 years.
Bot names are killing it.
Block chain names are getting high bids all over the place.
Nice info on the chain names

I think BLOCKCHAIN, Block & Chain were tied as one word, hence the 3/4 positions
