GGRG partnering with Escrow.com, which provides services for security deposits, NameBio.com, Intelium and ShortNames.com published a Q4 2024 report on the state of the liquid domains market focusing on the 614,928 .com domain names in TLD .COM that are called “liquid” and have two to five symbols (different combinations of letters and numbers). This market rebounded in the fourth quarter, after suffering a disappointing third-quarter setback.
The volume of transactions, handled by the Escrow.com service, soared by over 126 percent and reached $17,383,030. However, the total volume of publicly disclosed transactions fell by 43 percent and totaled 2,365,883. Nevertheless, the entire volume of transactions involving liquid domain names reached almost $20 million in the fourth quarter, a marked increase on the third quarter’s $12 million mark, according to the Online Domain resource.
As before, two-, three- and four-letter domain names in the .COM zone remain the most stable and profitable domain assets. For their part, five-letter domain names are not faring very well, to put it mildly. Their value dropped by 30 percent on the third quarter and by 81 percent on the same period of 2023. The authors of the report are advising domain investors to note this asset and to revise their attitude toward it.
