According to records from the domain name transaction data analysis platform NameBio, the domain name transaction market on January 22nd, 2026, presented a stark contrast.
On the one hand, the transactions of high-priced domain names were particularly dazzling. GoDaddy, a globally renowned domain name registrar, dominated the transaction list, occupying eight of the top ten spots in terms of transaction volume that day. Among them, the gambling domain name Casino9.com sold for $20,000 (approximately RMB 144,000), firmly holding the top spot. Looking at transactions with a price exceeding $100, NameBio recorded 520 transactions, with a total transaction volume of $496,136, averaging $954 per transaction.
Top Ten Domain Name Transactions on January 22nd
However, beneath the impressive top figures, the overall market revealed a clear chill. Compared to the previous day (January 21st), while the number of these 520 transactions exceeding $100 decreased slightly by 4%, the total transaction value plummeted by 69%. This means that although market activity was barely maintained, the willingness to trade high-value domains and their price levels contracted significantly, resulting in a substantial drop in the average transaction price.
Another set of data reveals the broader market base. In the sub-$100 range, NameBio recorded as many as 2,018 transactions. Although the individual transaction amounts were small, the total volume was substantial, reaching $30,263, with an average price of less than $15. This reflects the active state of numerous small-scale, exploratory transactions at the bottom of the domain market, a stark contrast to the top-tier market.
Overall, the domain market on January 22nd exhibited a complex trend of contraction at the top and activity at the bottom. Domains in specific vertical sectors, such as Casino9.com, continued to fetch high prices, demonstrating their scarcity and resilience in commercial value. However, the overall market, especially in the mid-to-high value segment, is experiencing a significant cooling in trading momentum and confidence. This may be a cyclical market adjustment, or it may indicate a shift in investors’ expectations regarding the macroeconomic or industry outlook. The domain name market is quietly shifting amidst the clamor.
