Multi-Million
$ Sale of Forge.com Charges to Top of New DNJournal Chart - $550,000
Sale Follows

We're heading
down the home stretch in the 2021 domain sales season and
the story line remains the same it has been the since the year
began - the domain aftermarket is still on fire. The $2,202,000
sale of Forge.com that we told you about in our Lowdown
section last weekend headlines our latest bi-weekly all
extension Top 20 Sales Chart with a $550,000
sale of Lender.com in the #2 spot.
George
Kirikos uncovered that sale of Forge.com to
private securities marketplace Forge
Global. As regular readers know, no one has done a
better job of finding and reporting previously unknown
blockbuster sales than George. He also pointed us to second
7-figure transaction involving BitBuy.com
this week.

That
one can't be charted because the deal involved both cash and
equity components. Still, the purchase by Bitbuy,
one of Canada’s largest crypto trading platforms, is well
worth noting with the seller receiving $1.5 million (US)
and a warrant for approximately $2.8
million (Canadiian) in either equity or cash upon exercise
of the warrant which will occur within one year after the
transfer of the domain. There is further reporting on that
deal here.

Earlier this week, Elliot
Silver at DomainInvesting.com
broke the news about the $550,000 sale of Lender.com
made by Brandforce
broker Stephen Byrne. That one helped the .coms
sweep the first five spots on the new leader board, with the first
four all being one-word dictionary domains, including another
six-figure sale, #3 Regional.com at $106,888 via SnapNames.
#5 TheKingdom.com, snapped the one-word string with a $39,999
sale at NameMarket.com.
The .coms piled up 12 of the
20 chart entries overall with NameJet
accounting for three of those. The new Namecheap
Market also aided the .com cause with a $20,221
sale of Namey.com, as did Tim Keller who sold #14 (tie) www360.com
for $20,000 in a private transaction.
Both the non
.com gTLDs (with five charted sales) and the ccTLDs (with
three on the Big Board) also continued to thrive in this bountiful
market. #6 Regal.co led the country code contingent with a £25,000
($33,250) sale at Sedo.
Dynadot set
the pace for the non .com gTLDs with a pair of Ethereum-related
domains. They banked $30,000 apiece for ETH.black and
ETH.pink as those two tied for the #7 spot.
