First 2026 YTD Top Domain Sales Chart is Already Populated By Impressive Sales Including the Year's First 7-Figure Sale

Barely a month into the 2026 domain sales race, a lot of eye-popping sales have already landed on our first YTD Top Sales Chart. With Sedo's $1,150,000 sale of Midnight.com (brokered by Mark "Mr. Premium" Ghoriafi) at the top, the first 13 sales have all reached at least six figures! Sedo and Mark also have the #2 sale in C4.com at $265,000.

While .coms have the top four sales, .ai domains are off to a fast start too with three top ten sales led by LegalBrandMarketing's $165,000 sale of #5 Speed.ai.

This chart will be updated and expanded with the release of each our bi-weekly domain sales reports throughout the year (the latest one is here). Each of the three charts (the all extension leader board at the top and the ccTLD and Non .com gTLD charts that follow) will keep growing until they are capped at 100 entries each for the remainder of the year. These are all verified, publicly reported sales. Keep in mind that the overall aftermarket is much bigger than what gets released to the public. 

Now, having set the stage, off we go! Here's how the YTD leaders, across all extensions, currently stack up:

Country Codes (ccTLDs)

The overwhelming dominance of .ai in the country code category could not be more clear than on our first YTD ccTLD Top Sales Chart of the new year. .ai domains swept the first 13 entries in a row and 18 of 20 entries overall! On the venue side, Spaceship accounted for 16 of those sales - though not the top one that went to LegalBrandMarketing where Speed.ai sold for $165,000.

Non .Com gTLDs (.net, .org, .art, .info, .pro, etc.)

Our first 2026 YTD Top Non .Com gTLD Sales Chart is led by one clear leader with 19 others looking up. The 800-pound gorilla is a $120,000 sale of #1 Prism.app that TopDomains made through Afternic. That's almost seven times higher than the closest competition, a pair of nice $18,000 sales at Sedo that are very solid in their own right.
