Some domain experts' opinions on the performance of .xyz last year:
Mark Daniel (Managing Director, Domain Holdings Group):
"In my opinion, one of the most unexpected trends for 2022 was the .xyz extension’s increase in popularity. Previously, most thought of the .xyz as just another one of the many “fun” extensions that came to market, but in 2022 it seemed to be taken more seriously by brands. We had several past clients come back to us in 2022 wanting to acquire their brand in .xyz."
Deepak Daftari (President, TiE Kolkata):
"Some of the most significant ones worth mentioning being: Emergence of .XYZ extension as a preferred extension for web3 companies / start-ups"
Jeff Garbutt (Founder & CEO of Prime Loyalty):
"On the positive side, we witnessed unprecedented sales in some gTLDs such as .xyz and 2 record breaking sales in .com domains (NFTs.com & Connect.com) at the 8 figure level."
Ryan McKegney (CEO, DomainAgents.com):
"The surprise strength of XYZ domains was one and it will be interesting to see how resilient the XYZ aftermarket is now that the shine has come off NFTs and crypto."
Some domain experts' predictions on the performance of .xyz in 2023:
Michael Robrock (CEO, Sedo.com):
"Extensions like .xyz, .io and ccTLDs in general will realize rising prices."
Matt Overman (Chief Revenue Officer, Digital - Identity Digital):
"I also expect registrations related to web3 businesses to re-emerge. This will benefit TLDs like .ai, .io, tech, .xyz and others popular within the tech industry."
Deepak Daftari (
President, TiE Kolkata):
"Looking ahead to 2023 I expect to see: More 6 figure sales for .CO .IO .AI & .XYZ extensions"
