One-word domain name “Cortex” Cortex.com suspected to be sold for $500,000

Telepathy, Inc. has certainly taken the spotlight in the domain trading arena. September can be considered a busy month of sales for the company that owns a large portfolio of domain names.

The latest news shows that the domain asset, Cortex.com, appears to have been successfully sold. The domain name was registered back in 2000 and as of yesterday, Cortex.com has been transferred to GoDaddy under WHOIS privacy protection.

The exact details of this transaction are not yet known, but what is certain is that the sale of this domain name was most likely done privately.

It's worth noting that Cortex.com was previously listed on Afternic with a minimum offer as high as $500,000 (roughly Rs. 3.5 million), which is a good indication of its value. The word “Cortex” means “cerebral cortex” in Chinese.

Meanwhile, there has been much speculation about the identity of the new owners. Among them, Cortex.io, the top-ranked tech company in Google for “Cortex,” is attracting attention because of its strong financial backing.

Regardless of who the new owner is, Telepathy.com's successful sale of Cortex.com for a significant amount of money is certainly one of the highlights of the domain name market. It also proves once again the immense value and appeal of premium domain names in today's digital age.
