Mine.com was sold for $680,000

On April 28, the premium English domain name Mine.com was auctioned on the DropCatch platform and sold for $680,000. The buyer's account is "17excom".

This auction attracted fierce competition, and finally three bidders continued to bid after the price exceeded $500,000, namely first1, bookname and 17excom.

According to DropCatch's policy, bidders who bid more than $500,000 must pass fund verification to ensure that they have the ability to pay. This mechanism is an important management measure added by DropCatch this year for high-priced auctions, aimed at reducing transaction failures caused by abandonment of bids.

Mine.com was once owned by the German intellectual property company MINE Holding GmbH.

According to historical information, the domain name was first registered in 1997 and held for more than 20 years. In 2023, the domain name was transferred from the registrar Cronon AG to Spaceship (a sub-brand of Namecheap). However, Mine.com seems to have expired during Spaceship's management and eventually entered DropCatch's deletion auction process.

Usually, Spaceship's expired domains should be handled through Namecheap's market, so this direct entry into the deletion auction is relatively rare, and the specific reason is not clear at present.

Mine, as a common English word, has a wide range of application potential. It not only means "mine" and "mining", but also means "mine, belonging to me". In brand building, it has a strong sense of belonging and resource symbolism.

Therefore, Mine.com has extremely high commercial development value in the fields of blockchain, mining, data storage, and personalized applications. Especially in the cryptocurrency industry, "mining" has always been a core concept, and Mine.com can serve as an attractive brand asset.
