Today
in The
Lowdown:
The highly anticipated 2025 Global Domain Report
from Sedo and InterNetX is now out. The extraordinarily
comprehensive free report provides a treasure trove of data and information that
makes it a great resource for industry professionals, as well as anyone who
wants to learn more about our dynamic, opportunity-rich industry.
Also
inside:
March wasn't the only thing that came in like a lion this year.
Sedo went on a rampage too, devouring the top two spots on our latest Top
20 Domain Sales Chart with a million dollar sale and another just a hair under the 7-figure mark. They also
captured two other six-figure sales to claim four of the first seven spots on the elite list.
Speaking of rampages - .ai continued to run wild too.

Over the past
few years we've seen a number of new
companies built around Web3
technology emerge. From the perspective
of domain registrants, the prospect of
owning decentralized
domains with no renewal fees is
one of the most intriguing aspects of Web3.
The problem has been that Web3 domains have
not been accessible in web browsers like
domains from the current Domain
Name System we have relied on
for the past four decades. In a perfect
world Web2 and Web3 would be interchangeable
and making that happen has become the
mission for many of these new companies. An
interesting thing about this is that the
various Web3 companies are taking different
approaches to building bridges between
Web 2 and Web 3. To help shed some light on
what is happening in this rapidly growing
arena, we've started a series of profiles of
some of the major players in Web3. In this
installment we give you an inside look at a
surprisingly easy to use system that has
been launched by WebUnited.

The
Internet
Commerce Association (ICA),
the
non-profit organization that fights to protect domain registrant's
rights, welcomed their biggest crowd to date at their 2025
Annual Meeting in Las Vegas January 26-28. For
the third year in a row the event was held at the massive Resorts
World complex. This
year's scene was one that few could have envisioned less than four years
ago when the ICA made their first visit to Las Vegas. With the word out
now, some 200 industry professionals
traveled from around the world for the just
concluded 2025 meeting - a turnout that left
no doubt this event is worthy of its kickoff
position at the top of the industry's
annual calendar.
