The sale of Star.org<\/strong> for $225,000 dollars through the Sedo MLS system, was announced yesterday.<\/p>\n

Sedo<\/strong> shared the news on social media:<\/p>\n

We’re excited to announce the sale of\u00a0Star.org\u00a0for $225K through our SedoMLS partner\u00a0Alibaba Cloud! <\/em><\/p>\n

This is the highest publicly reported sale to date through the SedoMLS network! <\/em><\/p>\n

In partnership with Alibaba, we are pleased to be able to support our Chinese clients in finding the perfect names for their online efforts. Also a big congratulations to\u00a0Public Interest Registry\u00a0on this high-value .ORG sale!<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Speculation on the use of Star.org varied, particularly since the new owners registered Star.Vin as well. That gTLD is for “wine” in French.<\/p>\n

My guess was that due to the TLD and price paid, the project would be related to the cryptocurrency market.<\/p>\n

As of today, the domain Star.org<\/strong><\/a> resolves to a website indicating the project is related to blockchain technology<\/strong>, with the following message:<\/p>\n

Think Different Cross-Site Identity Authentication & UGC Values Transfer The Star BlockChain Network<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I’ve pointed out the importance of generic, .ORG domains in general, and for the blockchain, ICO and cryptocurrency<\/strong><\/a> markets in particular.<\/p>\n

The large sale of Star.org and its upcoming use are re-enforcing my position on .ORG domains being a desirable upgrade from lesser TLDs and ccTLDs, and a more affordable alternative to expensive .COM domains.<\/p>\n
