The Cryptocurrency Domain Name Block-Chain.Com Has Been Acquired for $1,000,000
One of the largest ever cryptocurrency domain name acquisitions was announced during Consensus 2018, the 4th annual blockchain technology summit sponsored by CoinDesk. A group of investors has purchased the Block-chain.com domain for $1 million (111 BTC), which makes this the third most expensive cryptocurrency domain name acquisition ever.

Prior to this transaction, the most expensive blockchain domain names sold were btc.com (sold for $1.1 million as early as 2014) and eth.com (sold for $2 million in October 2017). The buyers of the Block-chain.com domain immediately launched one of the largest portals in the blockchain and cryptocurrency industry, bringing together the functionality of all the current major industry players.

I have seen many people from block chain crypto industry typing it as Block-Chain so it's a good sale & price.

When it comes to language, I'd be careful about declaring something "will always be" something. Usage transforms language.
Once upon a time a hyphen wasn't so reviled as it is now, it was just another way of acquiring highly sought-after keywords.

From the anonymous guest post announcement:

I can't find a record of this being announced at Consensus 2018. Can anyone else?

This guy was apparently trying to sell it on Twitter in February.

After the alleged sale, he has been retweeting and posting on Facebook articles from the now developed Block-Chain.com.

Thanks, good info.
If he is indeed who he says he is, he made a killing. The guy looks to be a crypto coach and has a couple of CEOs as his clients. Probably sold the name to one of them.
