This article relates to ETH related domain name sales in the Web2 domain space not .eth.
The cryptocurrency Ethereum (ETH) has been on quite a tear this year. It closed 2023 at approximately $2,283 and moved it’s way up to $4,066 on March 11, 2024. It has since bounced up and down since then and currently sits at $3,783.
Back in 2021 ETH had a similar run that set off a bonanza of “ETH” domain name sales. Some in extensions that made no sense. Eth.hockey??? #WTF.
When 2021 started ETH was trading below $1,000, and it surged to an all time high of $4,891 on 11/21/21. (Source)
A lot of well known domain investors were the beneficiaries of the ETH domain name gold rush. Logan Flatt of Media Code LLC, Mark Levine of DomainTheory.com, Leo Angelo of Domaincracy, Dennis from DomainSmoke.com, DomainHacks.com and DomainRetail.com. MagnumDomains had the biggest sale with ETH.co for $300,000.
