China's inaugural domain name festival and digital asset summit has just been held in Shenzhen, which included a domain name auction. The main topic of the event was "domain names as digital assets."
Some of China's most respected Internet leaders were present at the event, which by all accounts had a very good attendance. A few of the talks at the event were about domain name auctions, new opportunities for Bitcoin investments, and the value of domain name investments. There was also a roundtable event in which many people gave their opinions on the state of domain name investment in China.
