Is there the same connection beetween total sales in those TLDs?

There is certainly a connection, because if there was no demand for these extensions, they wouldn't have been registered.

I mean in sales total. Maybe in number of sales, because of number of registered names, but domains in what TLDs now worth the most?

Domains with (.com & .Ai) extension are the most valuable domains, But for (.Ai), the highest sales are for one dictionary word names.

Yes, a clear indicator of the Investment level (and interest) in these extensions but I wouldn't go so far as to interpret it as reflective of resales. Perhaps more reflective of the number of those active in the registration arena.

One could easily interpret it as the "Money to burn" by geographic location indicator

Maybe I misunderstood your question, so I had to correct my answer.
The number of domain name registrations has no connection to the number of resales.
For example, there have been 1,461 reported aftermarket sales of (.cn) domains since 2005, so this small number doesn't reflect the huge registration volume for this extension.

I agree with you.

No, there's a connection in usage/development.

.nl is a fine example. Mature ccTLD , tiny population but beats most other ccTLDs.

I know of 3 websites that show these sorts of stats. But the numbers differ greatly. How can we know who is correct? And why the huge differences?

I think domaintools.com has statistics close to what I posted except for the .cn extension, taking into consideration that my statistics don't include the year 2024.

I don't know the mechanism that these platforms rely on, because it is a complex process, where thousands of domains are registered daily and at the same time thousands are deleted.

For me, I depends on DNIP.com reports, which have credibility in the domain name sector.
