.com is stable at a high price, .ai transactions surge, and the recent domain name market shows a bipolar trend

According to the latest domain name transaction data released by dnjournal, from March 3, 2025 to March 16, 2025, the global domain name transaction market showed a distinct bipolar trend: .com domain names still dominate at high prices, while .ai domain names have become the new favorite of the market due to the popularity of artificial intelligence and a sharp increase in transaction volume.

In this transaction list, GX.com took the lead with a price of US$1.2 million, becoming the domain name with the highest transaction amount in the past two weeks. Double.com, which followed closely, also sold at a high price of US$980,000, further consolidating the dominance of .com domain names in the high-end market. Although .com domain names continue to maintain strong premium capabilities, in addition to the top two, only a few .com domain names such as WWWW.com and IRU.com are in the top 20, indicating that high-priced .com transactions are still scarce.

It is worth noting that .ai domain names performed particularly well in this round of transactions. Among the top 20, 10 .ai domain names were on the list, accounting for half of the list, fully demonstrating the driving effect of the artificial intelligence craze on the domain name market. Among them, Ace.ai became the most expensive .ai domain name with a transaction price of US$205,000, followed by OS.ai and TP.ai, which were also sold for US$150,000 and US$90,000 respectively, reflecting the market's continued attention to brands and technologies related to artificial intelligence.

In addition, among other suffix domain names, Coches.es, which means "car" in Spanish, was sold for approximately US$130,800, showing the market value of domain names related to specific languages ​​and industries. Borderless.xyz was sold for US$35,888, reflecting that some emerging suffixes still have investment potential.

From the overall transaction trend, .com domain names are still the most valuable assets in the market, and high-end domain names can still attract large transactions. However, .ai domain names are rapidly expanding their market share with the booming development of the artificial intelligence industry, especially in the mid-to-high price range, becoming the focus of investors.

With the continuous advancement of artificial intelligence technology, the market demand for .ai domain names may continue to rise, and more high-quality .ai domain names may be sold at high prices in the future. As the core asset of the Internet, .com domain names still maintain an unshakable value position, especially short and clear-meaning high-quality domain names, which are expected to continue to dominate the top-level domain name market.
