.ai now holds 38 of 2026's top 105 domain sales, up from zero in 2019
· Summary of an article by DomainGang
A new price report from broker Arif Sengoren of Secret Brokerage looks at seven years of top aftermarket sales from DNJournal's annual Top 100 charts. In 2019 not a single .ai name made the list; in 2025 there were 23, and in 2026 up to 7 October .ai accounted for 38 of the 105 charted sales, or 36% of the year-to-date chart.
Those counts show how quickly .ai has moved from a niche country code to a core extension at the top of the market, now taking more than a third of the biggest publicly reported deals. For buyers it confirms that strong .ai names are traded, and priced, alongside premium .com domains.
