Craz For Crypto-"Crypto.com" Domain Is Officially Sold For "Millions"

The domain Crypto.com, whose owner Matt Blaze has held out for a long time and he refusing to sell it to cryptocurrency companies, is now owned by exactly that, TechCrunch reported.

Blaze, a cryptology researcher and professor at the University of Pennsylvania, registered Crypto.com in 1993, according to the report.

Matt Blaze sold it for “millions.”

Monaco, known for its cryptocurrency token MCO and a Visa debit card backed by cryptocurrency, is the lucky buyer and will be rebranding itself as “Crypto.com” following the acquisition.

Meanwhile, The Verge reports that, according to experts, the domain - first registered in 1993 - could have attracted as much as USD 10 million. Still, Monaco’s CEO Kris Marszalek did not disclose any specifics. In an interview with TechCrunch, he said, “If it was only about money he’d have sold it a long time ago.”
