The domain name ETH.link, which we discussed in our earlier post (click here) expired after the registrant was jailed, There is a thread also running at NamePros discussing the domain name expiration and some users there didn’t believe it would be allowed to expire and auction off.
Dynadot appears to still have some rights for .link GTLD expirations via Uniregistry, I am sure that will change soon since GoDaddy acquired the company via Frank Schilling’s sale of many digital assets that he owned for a rumored $196 Million USD!
Anyway, the domain closed yesterday on DynaDot and the auction sale price was $204,032 USD ***UPDATED – The auction was extended and closed at $851,919USD
This ranks as the highest ever .LINK sale, in second place by miles is APP.Link at $30,000 USD & take the other podium spot in third place is Go.Link at $26,000 USD, of course, we know the reasons why ETH.link commanded a lot more money but still, SIX Figures was a lot of money for someone to drop to acquire this expired domain name.
What’s bitcoin.link worth now ?
It actually sold for $851,000+
All i really know about the .LINK extension is that it’s NO WORSE than .com:)
Nice to hear that, as I am keeping 2 .link superdomains in my portfolio as well.
Great name, like this extension.
