Reading the Tape
1. Clear strength in brandables
Names like Trently, ShopLamb, Boxle, Zenila, SavvyTreats show founders are still paying for “Instagram-ready” brands in the USD 2.5K–5K range.
2. Local-business and upgrade names continue to sell
Examples:
- thethompsonhouseeatery.com
- vagamundocoffee.com
- dogdaysatlanta.com
Consistent with SMB buyers shifting from social-only to proper domain + website footprints.
3. Mixed-venue distribution
- GoDaddy dominated transaction count
- Afternic showed steady mid-tier movement
- Atom.com had multiple sub-USD 3K sales
- Spaceship landed the day’s second-largest sale
4. .io narrative remains alive
Two .io names in the top tier today — both high-utility verbs or abstract tech words.
TIGM Takeaway
Founders are still buying brandables even in the upper-mid market, favoring versatility (Trently, Zenila), product fit (ShopLamb), and “premium-sounding” constructs (Boxle, ForgeProtection).
The USD 100K Velocity.io sale is notable not just for the price but for the valuation signal:
strong verbs + .io remain premium real estate in the AI + developer ecosystem.
Expect more six-figure .io trades to surface before year-end.
