Crypto domain names and more.
Sedo’s end user sales this week were headlined by a $500,000 sale. Although the buyer isn’t known yet, it is likely in the cryptocurrency space and almost certainly in finance.
Speaking of cryptocurrency, Crypto.club exchanged hands for $10,000.
Here’s a list of some of the end user domain name sales that took place at Sedo over the past week:
(You can view previous lists like this here.)
Dax.com $500,000 – The domain name has not transferred yet but this is an end user price. Given the X at the end, the use of DAX to refer to Digital Asset Exchange, and the number of crypto-related domain purchases lately, this is more than likely a cryptocurrency buyer. One other possibility is the German stock market index.
RockSecure.com $10,000 – RockIT is an IT outsourcing firm that uses the domain name RockIT.com.
Crypto.club $10,000 – AstraStudio is a Russian-language game developer.
MySnacks.com $7,499 – The Hut Group offers many products and brands across beauty, wellness, luxury and lifestyle.
FRMN.com £7,390 – Formation offers a “Customer Goal Management platform” and uses the domain name Formation.ai. It forwards this abbreviated version to the .ai domain.
Logik.de €6,666 – LOGIK Business GmbH uses the domain name Logik.biz.
IngestibleSensor.com $5,000 – Proteus Digital Health Inc. Ingestible sensors are awesome and could transform healthcare.
MTD.org $4,995 – Champaign-Urbana Mass Transit District
FRT.org $4,995 – Frontier Research Today, which is coming soon.
TheNextBigThing.com $4,777 – The buyers are anonymous (although they have a nifty stock photo purportedly showing them) but have started a site with content about new technologies.
APIproxy.com $3,800 – Tech company CDATA. It forwards to cdata.com/apiserver/, which does not yet resolve.
BudgetMotels.com.au $3,500 – Budget Motel Chain in Australia.
SQRZ.com €3,000 – SQRX divides geographic maps into squares. It appears to be a social network with emergency service applications.
WindBonds.com $2,999 – One Energy offers wind bonds to finance wind energy projects.
Syngentech.com $2,500 – Beijing SyngenTech Co., LTD. owns the domain name Syngen.tech but decided it was wise to also buy Syngentech.com. I don’t blame it.
RMAInsurance.com $2,399 – An insurance company that went by the name AAMDC rebranded to Rural Municipalities of Alberta, or RMA.
GG.FI €2,100 – Gold&Green Foods Oy in Helsinki Finland.
Andrew,
Interesting story behind Crypto.club. We sold it for $122.00 a year ago. They sold it for $10K. The.club sold for 19K and then ultimately sold to an end buyer for 300K. We are starting to see domain investors make some money flipping names.
Yep. .CLUB is one nTLD registry where flipping for profit is possible. A sensible price structure from the get go, a solid keyword, and a bigger-than-average dose of registry promotion to end users.
Nope. They didn’t pay me to say so.
