What is this Rubbish??

I searched TMs for my domain and for cryptominer with the "E " there is NO TM for either......Though if you just search "crypto" there are several new trademarks using the word crypto+ keywords.....

How and why is this effecting mine? Should I just resubmit it ? Has this happen to anyone else on their crypto names?

I've had the same for one of my "coin" domains. AFAIK, there wasn't any related business or TM that I could locate. Planning to email them and ask for more details

So, ethereum is definitely trademarked. But words like Crypto and coin are not. So your situation might be a little different to OP and what I posted in my previous comment

I don't doubt that. They review/approval process is fairly inconsistent and all over the place. That said, the keyword ethereum in a domain is risky. IIRC, the eth foundation does go after domains with that word in the domain name and related to crypto currencies via UDRPs.
