The four-digit domain name 9699.com sold for $46,001.

Recently, the four-digit domain name 9699.com was sold on the GoDaddy platform for $46,001 (approximately RMB 330,000). This price is considered mid-to-high level in the current market environment, reflecting the continued stable appeal of high-quality numeric domain names to global investors.

According to Whois records, 9699.com was registered in 2003 and has a history of over twenty years. The domain name has a simple structure, is easy to read and write, and is a typical "four-digit double-repeating" combination. The number "9" in Chinese culture symbolizes "longevity and eternity," while "6" is often seen as a symbol of "success." The overall number combination has a smooth reading experience and possesses good commercial connotations and brand recognition.

In the numeric domain name market, four-digit .com domains have always been a popular segment for investors. Compared to randomly combined numeric domain names, these repeated or regular numeric combinations are often more memorable and have greater collectible value, making them easier for end-user businesses or individual buyers to use as brand portals, short URLs, or investment assets. Although 9699.com is not yet in use, its transaction price demonstrates investors' long-term optimism about scarce digital resources. With the increasing awareness of digital asset investment in recent years, and the continued preference of Chinese buyers for numeric domain names, the activity of four-digit domain names in the secondary market remains strong.

Overall, the sale of 9699.com not only reflects the stable market for numeric domain names but also demonstrates the market's continued high recognition of short, positively meaningful .com domains. If it can be branded and used in the future, its value still has room for further appreciation.
