News on June 26: According to industry sources, Bitcoin veteran wallet startup Blockchain recently announced on its blog that it has officially changed its official website domain name to Blockchain.com, and the original Blockchain.info domain name will still be used as the wallet website.
Blockchain is located in Luxembourg and was founded in August 2011. It is an online wallet service provider. In addition, it also provides Bitcoin blockchain data query services, and its official website domain name is Blockchain.info. It is understood that in 2014, Blockchain's website user base had already reached more than 2 million, making it arguably the oldest and most influential wallet startup in the industry. In October of the same year, Blockchain.com announced it had completed a $30.5 million Series A funding round. In June 2017, Blockchain announced it had received $40 million in Series B funding.
The rapid development of an enterprise requires a domain name that can better highlight its corporate brand. With 24 million wallets already opened on the Blockchain platform, Blockchain's announcement of fully launching the domain Blockchain.com undoubtedly demonstrates its grand future development ambitions.
At present, visiting the domain Blockchain.com, one can see that the domain has already been used as an official website of Blockchain, and all previous pages have been integrated under the Blockchain.com domain name (Blockchain.com was previously used to build the official blog, and this time it is fully launched). At present, the website mainly introduces some features of the wallet, the company's main business, and team members, etc.
Officially launching Blockchain.com as the official website domain name is not only an upgrade of Blockchain's corporate image, but also more conducive to brand promotion and publicity, and also has outstanding advantages in traffic generation. It is understood that the domain Blockchain.com was acquired by Blockchain as early as February 2014. In July of the same year, the company also protected the related domain Blockchain.net in one move, which shows its strong awareness of brand domain name protection.
As for the value of the domain Blockchain.com, as is well known, the domain directly corresponds to the word “blockchain”, so it can be regarded as a top-tier industry domain name in the blockchain field, and its value naturally should not be underestimated. By referring to the hyphenated domain name—block-chain.com—which was traded not long ago for $1 million (over RMB 6.37 million), everyone can get an idea of the value of Blockchain.com.
