The registration volume of .xyz is unusual.

[789.xyz]

I’ve noticed that the number of .xyz registrations has been rising sharply recently.

Can anyone explain why?

Before last year, .xyz consistently ranked around 10th, but it has now risen to 7th place.

because xyz is number 1 for sales and popularity vs reg price.

nothing else comes even close to this stat

which is probably most important for domainers

if it was 10 to reg the regs would be 100 times less
