Rebranding of Monaco in crypto.com

in crypto-com •  6 years ago 


Monaco - the Visa crypto card dispenser - has announced a name and image change by buying the domain name crypto.com. This domain name was the object of all desires for some time, and now it is attached to the company and its token the MCO.
 

Domain names are sometimes subject to bidding beyond comprehension. Some time ago, the address "ethereum.com" was sold for $ 10 million .

Among the most coveted addresses, is very logically crypto.com . The domain name was originally owned by security researcher Matt Blaze, who specializes in cryptography, and is also a professor of computer science and information science at the University of Pennsylvania . The latter had already been approached several times in the hope of concluding an agreement for the resale of crypto.com rights, but he had systematically refused, going so far as to do this publicly a little earlier in the year.

"To anyone who would try to contact me about it: not worth it. Not to sell. "

The man apparently has changed his mind recently, and the media speculate on a sum approaching $ 10 million . Nothing proved however, as noted by the CEO of Monaco .

"If it was just a question of money, he would have sold" the domain name "a long time ago. " Kris Marszalek, CEO of Monaco, interviewed by TechCrunch

Monaco is preparing for a big rebranding . The parent company will now be named Crypto.com , when the card service will be renamed MCO - which is the name of their associated token . This decision comes shortly after the start of their test phase for their Monaco Visa cards . For the moment, only a few members of the team use it, apparently without a hitch .

The company had announced that these cards would be available in the coming months for the European continent as well as Singapore , and that the fourth quarter of 2018 would no doubt see US customers enter the game. It is probably all this news that has boosted the price of the MCO, which is almost 50% above its price of last week (which was then between $ 4.8 and $ 6)
