Giuseppe Graziano published the Liquid Domain Report for Q4 2025. You can view the full report here.
Some highlights:
📉 Public sales crashed 37.96% to $2.7M — a sharp drop from Q3.
💸 Escrow.com held steady at $14.13M in private transactions, down just 2.36% — proving that buyers still transact even when public sales slow.
💼 4L .coms dominated escrow with $9.56M in volume — despite a 5.30% decline, they remain the market’s most liquid asset class by far.
🌐 2L domains maintained their development lead at 27.66% — end-user demand for premium short domains remains resilient through volatility.
📉 5N .com turnover increased by 113.15% — suggesting speculative churn and portfolio repositioning rather than genuine end-user liquidity.
🌀 Overall turnover jumped to 16.26% — driven almost entirely by 4N and 5N domains, signaling repositioning in numeric categories.
🧾 3L .coms posted $3.48M in escrow sales despite a 12.74% drop — holding their ground as reliable transaction vehicles.
📊 4N .coms saw escrow volume surge 182.76% to $82K — small but notable, suggesting renewed interest in four-number domains.
💹 Global markets split in Q4: GLD and SPX posted 10% gains while Bitcoin collapsed 24.65% — liquid domains outperformed crypto assets.
🧱 Over 12 months, GLD surged 58% while Bitcoin Trust ETFs lost 7% — 4L .coms gained 11%, providing stability compared to alternatives.
