It looks like Evergreen is brokering Ethereum.com the domain was registered in 2011. Asking price a cool $10 million. The original registration looks to be back in 2003 but the name was dropped.
The domain actually dropped 3 times, so there are 3 people in the world who are yelling at the moon, “WHY DID I DROP THAT NAME, A LOUSY $8 TO RENEW.”

I doubt that most people who use crypto currencies can even spell this word.
Sucky name imagine the only company that will pay the price is the company who founded it …i would think .so why the heck is the price so high
“sucky name”…?
Remind me to ignore your investing opinions.
Actually, most people who use crypto are pretty bright.
it could be n1 crypto , after the split of BC..
and not a big sum for mining pools 🙂
It won’t even sell for $100K
no bcause they are asking too much. they could sell it easily for $3m
Better than just $20M.
if the currency doesn’t work out the domain will be worth reg fee
The nice thing about it is that it’s not a currency — it’s a platform.
No because ill pay 25 anytime
Current bid: $6,999,00
Really? They have a bid/offer of $7M? The owner would be foolish not to sell at this price.
Not sure why whoever me the platform wuldnt buy the domain before hand.
Ethereum is here to stay. It’s more than a crypto currency. It’s a platform for assets, records, property transactions.
The platform has flaws. But major organizations, investor groups and conglomerates such as Morgan Stanley, Wells Fargo, Microsoft are using ethereum components.
Ethereum is superior to Bitcoin. The only caveat: there could be another crypto-blockchain platform being created by 2 geniuses in a garage that could be superior to Ethereum,
Bitcoin is like excite.com of the early search engines. Then there was Mama.com, a search engine backed by Mark Cuban, Ask.com, Bing.com and dozens more.
Is Ethereum the Google of cryrpto of blockchains? No, it’s not there yet.
So is Ethereum.com worth $10 million. It’s a 7 figure domain. Not quite, 8 in my opinion. But if Ethereum overtakes BTC in market cap, yes, it’s a $10 million domain.
Considering that the single-letter dot-coms are probably off the market for the rest of time, this is the single most valuable domain name in existence.
And for those who haven’t been paying attention to Ethereum, you may want to start doing so – soon.
Huge number of major companies and governments recognize that Ethereum is the future, both in terms of being a currency, and for smart contracts, etc.
personally i think it will be gone and something else in its place in a few years or less.
LOL! Yeah…ok

Agreed, Ethereum is not going anywhere, name is 7 figs all things considered. I have noticed the crypto market errr start ups/creators are slow to understand the dot com importance.
if it was me i would ask $50,000,000
the owner of CRYPTOCURRENCY.COM is worth atleast $100,000,000
Agreed…or, instead of selling it, simply doing a huge partnership with the Enterprise Ethereum Alliance and get paid a percentage of all transactions that flow through hub.
I agree with both of you guys.
$100,000,000 ? So does that make my own CryptoEcurrency.com valuable too? lets see how is goes.
I mean let’s see how it goes..sorry for the typo error
the major risk with Ethereum is that the technology will most certainly be appropriated by corporations with their own Ethereum based forks.
and regarding domain names, the group of corporations that pledge to back this technology up, Enterprise Ethereum Alliance, uses this beautiful domain name: entethalliance.org
Their domain name definitely needs a major upgrade, no question about it. But Ethereum, itself, is DEFINITELY going to (more than) be around for the foreseeable future.
I would prefer to own Crypto.com over Ethereum.com
But Ethereum is a super domain. If Amazon starts accepting ethereum, which is very possible as Bezos likes ethereum, then this domain will really go up in value. I assume the domain is under privacy?
whoever owns it is definitely a domainer judging by the registrars moniker, namecheap, and now uniregistry. If you go back far enough you can see the real info but who knows if it was sold between then and now and I can’t see it as I only have a basic account at whoisology.
Hard to argue Ethereum.com not being worth 7 figures to the right buyer. I’d say Crypto.com would also probably command 7 figures if it were put up for sale right now.
Both Ethereum & Crypto are here to stay for sure. I have two related domains for sale at Sedo so make an offer quickly!
Ethereum is going to be a next bitcoin….eWallet.com worth?
Hand reg? wow, congrats to whoever had the vision.
Question:
Doesn’t this disclaimer becomes irrelevant once the domains change hands again?
“(the domain in question) was registered on March 11, 2011.
It has no relation to the blockchain technology, which later adopted the same name”
I have the impression they are their own lawyers…
“
Current bid $6,999,000? … Where is this bid coming from? … Anybody from Evergreen could have typed that in. It’s not a live auction with real-time bids. I’m thinking this is what they want the bidding to start at. GoDaddy used to do the same thing. Seller lists a name at auction with offer/counter and a minimum offer amount, then when you search it at GD homepage, it said “current bid x dollars”, which was really the minimum offer set by seller, but made it look like there were actual bids. Godaddy has since changed its verbiage to “minimum offer amount”. Probably because of complaints of misleading buyers.
Ethereum has a trademark which will pre-date this sale if it happens. Potentially $10 million at risk.
Worth low 7 figures at best to an end-user. IMO
IMO,Worth more than low 7 figure going by how big Corps are showing interest in it
