Today
in The
Lowdown:
The
first publicly reported 7-figure domain sale of the new year is now on
the record. Industry pioneers Larry Fischer and Ari Goldberger teamed up to
close a multi-million $ sale of Commerce.com to set a new high water mark for
2025.
Also
inside:
A fast 2025 start for the domain aftermarket continued with five more
six-figure sales reported over the past fortnight. We also saw another big
wave of .AI sales with nine of those flooding our latest all extension Top
20 Sales Chart. To top it off the ccTLDs posted their
biggest sale since 2023.

|
Welcome

trends of the past year and what they saw
coming our way in the new year ahead.
This year we
have put together our biggest panel ever, 17

split them into two groups of eight each -
one comprised of investors &
developers and one of corporate
leaders. We will the extra spot with

When one of our
recent bi-weekly domain sales reports was
published on February 5th, a lot of readers
(especially in the U.S.) did a double take.
At #1 on our all extension Top 20
Sales Chart sat Fanbase.com at $431,400.
No surprise in that, of course - an
excellent domain acquired for the kind of
price top tier domains command. However,
under the Where Sold column, where
you typically see the name of a giant
aftermarket sales platform or a rock star
domain broker, was the name Fruits.co.
That was puzzling on the American side of
the Atlantic, but no so much in Europe where
Fruits.co had already made a name for
themselves even though they just launched
last year. By the time their name
went global with the Fanbase.com sale,
Fruits.co already had over a million
listings. So, who are these people and
how did their new aftermarket sales platform
sprout so quickly?

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.
