We’ve been following the sales notes posted on Ethereum.com, a domain first registered many moons ago.
During the past few months, Ethereum.com shared offers of several million dollars, all while the Ethereum Project’s co-founder, Vitalik Buterin, appeared uninterested in the aged allure of .com domains.
The Ethereum Project’s trademark activities on the USPTO and via the UDRP process, indicate that they are the single most important potential buyer of the domain.
A recent increase in the cryptocurrency’s valuation, with ETH surging above $1,400 dollars, would indicate a stronger capability to acquire the domain, at essentially almost 20% of its initial cost.
The current market capitalization of Ethereum is almost five times what it was, when Ethereum.com hit the market!
A couple of weeks ago, we speculated that the domain’s brokerage might have changed; whoever handles it now, has posted that the $10 million dollar reserve has been met!
If the domain has indeed met its $10 million dollar asking price, we’ll soon find out if the owner(s) are going to accept this gargantuan offer.
Will it be in cash, or ETH? 😀
I have XRP.CO for sale. Contact me if interested.
Wolfgang Möcklin – Drop it before it becomes another hole in the pocket. XRP is worthless.
I could be wrong but I think that offer may have evaporated along with 40% of ETH’s value over the last 24 hours!
