With the rise of crypto currencies and the growing adaptation to blockchain technology, domain names relating to this industry have skyrocketed in price. Everyday news breaks out about a new domain name being purchased for record prices, and the trend has not shown any signs of slowing down.
Recently, another domain name related to blockchain and the finance industry “VCbank.com” was sold for another record breaking price of 2000ETH, equivalent to USD920,000 based on the price of USD460/ETH as of this writing. The domain was registered all the way back in 1999 by Michael Brook in the USA and was held for nearly 20 years. Some may think that companies in the blockchain industry are spending a fortune on domain names, but the value of these names are far more important than what meets the eyes.
