Earlier today, Elliot Silver reported that Coins.com sold for 7 figures.
Adam would not share the purchase price or terms of the deal with me, although he did confirm that it was a seven figure deal.


Since acquiring the domain name, the buyer has already received offers of almost $10 million.
Adam mentioned that since acquiring Coins.com, he has been contacted by quite a few of the larger crypto-companies and exchanges who have either tried to buy Coins.com or have proposed other types of deals. I was told that the domain name is not for sale, and is only bring positioned with a major joint venture in mind, despite receiving offers of “almost $10 mm from existing crypto players.”

By the way, Which is a better name - Crypto.com or Coins.com? Even though I love Coins.com, my vote goes to Crypto.com

Nice sale! It goes to show you that a words meaning today might change drastically tomorrow, not that coins in 1999 was not a killer name, but... :)

Coins a very valuable name but in 2018 Crypto is the more valuable domain name.

Coins isn’t all that great imo. It’s very low 6 figs, where crypto could be $50 million plus...

In my opinion Coins.com is a seven figure domain, but I do agree that Crypto.com has the potential to be a $50 million plus domain.

I think coins.com is superior from the standpoint that it is more mainstream and represent digital currency as a whole - I'm not even talking about cryptocurrency but all online digital coins (rewards, points, coins).

average joe won't touch "Crypto"

coins.com is the mainstream play and more valuable.

coins.com > coin.com

josh, no offense, but you speak with a biased perspective and limited view of the world.

Have you ever heard of hotels.com, cars.com, apartments.com, vacationrentals.com, rewards.com, (the list goes on...)

these company's aren't hotel.com, car.com, apartment.com, vacationrental.com, reward.com

a brand might be better without a plural...but a mega platform and marketplace is plural...almost always.

Sorry to say there are many biases here

If you compare it to crypto I think that the term Coin has a much higher potential to stay relevant in the future. What is your opinion?

A lot of interesting views in this thread! I prefer crypto over coins.

While I do see the argument that if cryptocurrencies falter, the coins domain will retain value for other uses, I think the same is true for crypto. When Matt Blaze registered it, the intention was an abbreviation of cryptography, and I think there is no doubt that cryptography has a strong future, independent of cryptocurrencies. In fact his resistance to selling was partly related to the fact that he never liked entwining cyrptography with cryptocurrencies.

Coin.com is at least 10X more valuable than Coins.com IMO.
2 completely different domains. Imo coin.com is worth far less than coins...

Coin.com isn’t worth more than $75k

That's inaccurate. Coin.com is worth many 7 figures and a great domain....but, I agree and IMO Coins.com is worth more than Coin.

Coin.com is actually just not a good domain. What are you coining? A phrase maybe.

I'm not going to argue with you. I can assure you that there are many groups who could figure out how to leverage coin.com into a massive opportunity. You just happen not to be now of those people, and that's fine. That said - objectively, coin.com is a huge name.

more often than not, plurals will sell for less than singular names.
but its always case by case situations. in the end it'll just depend on what buyer needs, and what he can pay.

so even if coins.com sells to one buyer for 5million
and coin.com sells to another for 100k
really, this is not conclusive evidence of value of either.
the next sales could be the opposite etc..

we can all give our opinions etc.. but its pretty much an endless and pointless discussion.

in my OPINION

Respectfully, this is also inaccurate. while what you say is true (that to person it can worth x and to another y), the fact is even if someone doesn't know how to use a domain to its maximum potential (in this case we are talking about coin.com), then this doesn't mean the domain is worth 100k to the person...actually its worth whatever the market will pay for it. So, in fact, even tho Keith is not a fan of coin.com and prefers coins.com, it still is worth far more than 75k to him (even if he dislikes it). it is worth whatever the market will pay

I think the plural is better in this case, but 'coin' is a fantastic domain. Put it this way if i owned it I'd ask for 6/7 figures for it and would justify that price tag by what 'coins' sold for - I'm sure you and anyone else here would would too.

You can’t base an ask for a domain on the sale of another domain. One letter changes everything in this case. Normally singular domains are superior but in this instance it’s not even close.

tbh coins is the informal term for crypto. Like, no one calls tokens coins, because they're a subset of another crypto (eth, waves, etc.)

But this domain is so versatile because it also applies to collectors' coins and money
