These 19 firms bought aftermarket domain names the prior week

From bitcoin to car care to family entertainment, here are some of the end users that bought domain names the prior week.

Sedo handled 624 domain name transactions the prior week for a total of $1.7 million, a bit more than usual. While the list includes a number of four letter domains, it’s a lot fewer than two weeks ago.

Among the end users snapping up domain names: a city in Ontario buying the name of one of its landmarks, a Chinese astronomical group buying its acronym and an Australian bitcoin firm buying a domain name for a service.

Here’s a look at end user domain name sales from the past week on Sedo:
