What Happened: Ethereum domain name sales on the world's top non-fungible token (NFT) marketplace OpenSea increased by nearly 2,840% as a result of increased speculation, the market's statistics show.

Ethereum Name Service names are domains not unlike any CompanyName.com but instead ending in .eth with ownership of each domain being represented by an NFT that can be sold alongside control over the name; those names are also alternative to the hexadecimal crypto wallet addresses. The system is controlled by a decentralized autonomous organization (DAO) that lets Ethereum Name Service holders decide how the ecosystem evolves.
