When the year of the Monkey began on February 8th, many expected 2016 to be producing immeasurable wealth.
The Chinese domain market thrived in 2015, leading many to believe the voices of those pushing a game of musical chairs.
Domain investors recognizing the fallacy of the “Chips” paradigm, where thousands of domains changed hands without as much as a iota of development, pulled out at the end of 2015.
In retrospect, the weeks before and after the end of last year marked the peak of the open Chinese domain market.
Acting as the canaries in the coalmine, we pointed out how domain investors should be cautious. Those that played a strategically sound game of domain investing benefited from our regular research.
We’ve been reporting on the nuances of the Chinese domain market for more than a year, following its dips and sudden surges. The previous market report was on September 21st, due to the lack of sales volume.
It seems that we’ll be turning the report as a weekly special, thanks to an ever further loss in domain sales among the Chinese.
We keep track of domains that are between 2 to 4 characters in length, for the .CN, .COM and .NET TLDs.
The list that follows, spans September 22-24 inclusive.
