Welcome to Behind The Keyword, I will be taking a look at the most popular keywords that sell, get listed and get developed. Whether it be on big marketplaces like Sedo and Afternic or specialty sites like BrandBucket.
Crypto is a keyword that works both as a prefix and a suffix.
The sale of Crypto.com was a big headline as an associate professor at the University of Pennsylvania, Matt Blaze sold the name for $12 million to Monaco a Hong Kong based crypo visa card company.
There have been 22 sales of Crypto as the exact match keyword in addition to the Crypto.com sale which is not recorded by Namebio.

Thanks for posting Raymond. The keyword has had an interesting few years- I imagine that when and if the crypto market rebounds there may be some additional notable sales- although CryptoInsurance.com for $70K recently likely went cheap for how large that market may become.
CryptoCart.com for $58K is a bit of a head scratcher but I know there are some overseas businesses with that name so perhaps someone upgraded to the .com.
I have noticed a definite downtrend in activity with these keyword names this year- will be interesting to see how 2020 fares with some additional crypto exposure as some larger names (like Fidelity) start to get more involved…
Cheers,
Mike
