Recently we brought you the news that cryptocurrency firm Monkey Capital acquired the Monkey.com domain for a deal worth $500,000 in cash and cryptocurrency. Today, we're able to bring you the news that leading cryptocurrency exchange ShapeShift has acquired the ShapeShift.com domain name.
Ever since Erik Vorhees founded the company in 2014, ShapeShift has used the ShapeShift.io domain name, with the ShapeShift.com domain name being used by a pilates studio in California.
After three years using the ShapeShift.io domain, the company has managed to upgrade the name, with ShapeShift.com moving from Network Solutions to GoDaddy under privacy protection recently.
The news of ShapeShift's acquisition was confirmed to us by CEO Erik Vorhees, who also revealed that the company paid around $25,000 to buy the .COM domain.
ShapeShift is one of the largest digital asset exchanges with over thirteen thousand transactions being processed within the past twenty-four hours. The company has raised a total of $12.79 million in funding, with a series A funding round in March 2017 bringing in $10.4 million.
As of writing, ShapeShift.com doesn't resolve to a web page, but it is likely that the company will either forward ShapeShift.com to ShapeShift.io or switch entirely to ShapeShift.com in the future.
Congratulations to ShapeShift on acquiring ShapeShift.com.
