Veteran investors remember when a summer sales slump was as predictable as the sunrise — not in 2026. DNJournal's latest chart popped a six-pack of six-figure sales totaling over $1.7 million, and more than 50 sales this year have already ranged from six figures up to eight. On the end-user side, Domain Name Wire's June report reads like an AI shopping spree: AI businesses, an AI-powered car finder, and an African AI company all bought names, while NameBio logged 124 sales from newcomer marketplace Atom alone. Demand is broad, not just deep.
