In
the 2nd largest domain sale ever
publicly reported, NFTs.com has changed
hands for $15 million, a figure eclipsed
only by the $30 million sale
of Voice.com in 2019. The news came
this morning in a joint press
release (.pdf file) from Escrow.com
and premium domain brokerage and acquisition
specialists Domainer.com. The deal was
brokered for an undisclosed buyer by teams at Domainer.com and
GoDaddy.com
who worked together in hand with Escrow.com
who facilitated the landmark transaction.
Plans for the marquee domain have not yet been
announced but a Domainer.com statement said the buyer has associations with other web3 projects, such as
DigitalArtists.com (a curated web3 service to
artists). |

The
lead broker of the deal, Domainer.com's Matt Holden,
said "It was a pleasure to work with all parties involved with
NFTS.com, an incredible opportunity for the buyer to acquire a category killer domain and one of, if not the
best, possible .com's in the entire web3
space." Ian Garner, Director at
Domainer.com, added "The recent purchase of NFTS.com is an
acquisition all brokerage platforms would love to be involved in. It has truly been a privilege to
have played our part in the deal and to continue to represent a very happy buyer."
This
news takes away any suspense about what the #1 sale
will be in our next bi-weekly domain
sales report that will be out this
evening. At the same time, NFTs.com will be placed
in the #1 position on our Year-to-Date
Top 100 Sales Chart. Congratulations to
all of the parties involved in making it happen. I
think for just about everyone in our industry, this
is the kind of news you love to wake up to!
