“#Crypto interest remains on the rise, according to this industry CEO<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

                The CEO of Unstoppable Domains notes data showing increased crypto interest despite the recent crypto market price drops. \n                <p>Crypto asset prices fell drastically this past week. The CEO and co-founder of Unstoppable Domains, Matthew Gould, said interest in the industry, however, still remains positive.\u00a0\n<\/code><\/pre>\n
“Over the past week, crypto markets have experienced significant volatility sparking concern among the blockchain community and investors at large,\u201d Gould said in a comment sent to Cointelegraph. On Wednesday, Bitcoin plunged down near the $30,000 price point \u2014 a dramatic move considering the asset traded near $60,000 earlier in May, based<\/a> on TradingView data.<\/p>\n
\u201cHowever, blockchain domain names are being registered at unprecedented speeds with no signs of slowing down,\u201d Gould said, adding:<\/p>\n
“Domain names registered on the Ethereum blockchain have grown by nearly 25,000 over the past week to 817,000 on Unstoppable Domains. The current registration rate is on pace for >500% YoY growth, even during this past week\u2019s selloff. Growth of usage of blockchain app<\/a>s continues even in the face of declines in crypto speculation, showing that when you look at the space as a whole, optimism is ever-present.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Unstoppable Domains gives folks the opportunity to acquire and control a given domain name with the .crypto extension, storable via a nonfungible token, or NFT. This differs from current standard centralized methods of website ownership, which domain providers control.<\/p>\n
Last week yielded headlines around Bitcoin mining energy consumption, stemming from Tesla\u2019s decision to stop<\/a> taking Bitcoin as a form of payment, based on related energy concerns. The move, seemingly temporary, has seen pushback from folks\u00a0in the days since. <\/p>\n
