XYZ Registry Domains Report – March 2023

The tech industry is experiencing a surge in interest and excitement with the rapid rise of Artificial Intelligence (AI) as a top trend. As a result, there has been an increase in registration trends, particularly in the GPT keyword, which is driving growth in legacy TLD aftermarket sales. It’s fascinating to see the popularity of both “GPT” and “AI” keywords reflected in XYZ domains registrations, such as PioneerAI.xyz, AI-Assistant.xyz, BriefGPT.xyz, ChatAI.Monster, AI.Tickets, AI.Game, and AI.Storage. Companies may be interested to leverage cutting-edge technology to gain a competitive edge and stay ahead of the curve. As the tech landscape continues to evolve, we look forward to registration trends continuing to follow suit and align with the latest technological advancements in the future.
