As reported by Tech Crunch, the project will soon start to operate under a different brand name after purchasing the famous domain crypto.com. The domain was first registered in 1993 by Matt Blaze, a professor of computer and information science at the University of Pennsylvania. The acquisition cost Monaco about $ 10 Million. crypto.com has been chosen in consideration of the high number of visitors the website recorded during the time.
Kris Marszalek, the CEO of Monaco (now Crypto.com) stated:
“This is a very powerful identity that we are taking on. It’s representative of the entire category so it comes with a huge responsibility on us to carry the torch. We don’t take it lightly and this is one of the things that I think we conveyed successfully, that, as a company, we do have a higher purpose.”
