2018 proved to be a great year for Domaining. Many good Sales happened during the year and many new technologies and niches were discovered.

And just like that, another year has flown by!

Here are few most prominent developments from the last year:

1. Crypto.com Sold for $12 million

The domain crypto.com, whose owner Matt Blaze has held out for a long time refusing to sell it to cryptocurrency companies, finally sold it for “millions.”

One of the hottest and highly sought-after domain names in the world, Crypto.com, has been reportedly sold to Crypto Visa card company Monaco for around $12 million.

Blaze is an associate professor at the University of Pennsylvania and a well-regarded cryptography researcher who is credited with the phrase and concept of “trust management,” an important framework for modeling the authenticity and reliability of parties in information security.

A visit to Manoco old website (https://mona.co/), redirected visitors to the new Crypto.com website with the message: “Monaco is now Crypto.com.”

The domain name Crypto.com, whose owner Matt Blaze had been refusing the sales offers for many years, has now sold it to a cryptocurrency company called Monaco.

Monaco was founded in Switzerland in 2016, and in addition to its cards and tokens, it’s launched a mobile wallet app and an automated cryptocurrency investment system. Prior to the acquisition, Monaco used Mona.CO for its website. This domain name now forwards to its MCO white paper, which can be found at MCO.Crypto.com.

The domain name Crypto.com has been sold for reportedly a figure around $12 million.

I heard about the news one day before I came to know about this figure and while discussing it with another domainer friend, I told him a figure around $55 million considering the Hype around Crypto names these days. But when I heard $12 million, I really thought its under-sold.

Earlier, Amazon had bought three domain names related to cryptocurrency: amazonethereum.com, amazoncryptocurrency.com and, amazoncryptocurrencies.com. Amazon already owns the “amazonbitcoin.com” domain name, according to Coindesk.

So much craze around Crypto Domain names and So many sales happening since last year, for example:

CryptoWorld.com Sold for $195,000 via Domain Market

CryptoBank.com Sold for $125,000 via Undeveloped

CryptoRate.com Sold for $99,888 via FoundationDomains

CryptoGame.com Sold for $85,000 via RapidNames

CryptoNews.com Sold for $50,536 via Sedo
