Andrew Rosener, a well-known domainer (and broker) at MediaOptions.com, sold MetaVerse.io for 175K USD. The news just came out yesterday.

Namebio shows metaverse.io was last acquired for 2,232 USD in October 2020 at Park.io, so this is an epic flip to say the least.

It's not only the largest reported .io domain sale to date (by far), but it's also the the first 6-figure .io sale. The biggest reported sale prior to this was trade.io at 88K, and that sale occurred just last month on Feb 15th, 2021.

The sale was announced around 22:50 in the latest DomainSherpa show, where Rosener shares all the details and circumstances leading to the sale:

I don't own a single .io but I think this is another sign that domain sales will boom this year, and I dare bet we haven't even seen the tip of the iceberg yet.
 
Three of the top ten .io sales occurred in 2021 even though we're just ~2 months into the year, and 6/10 sold since the pandemic started:

So what am I missing? Why would anyone pay this amount for metaverse?
