What is domain trading and how does tokenization improve the trading experience?

Domain trading refers to the buying and selling of domain names as investment assets, similar to trading stocks or real estate. Traditional domain trading involves lengthy transfer processes, escrow services, and limited liquidity. Tokenized domains transform trading by enabling instant transfers, transparent price history, and access to broader liquidity pools through NFT marketplaces. Traders can now use familiar Web3 tools to manage domain portfolios, execute trades 24/7, and access sophisticated trading features like automated market makers or fractional ownership. This creates a more efficient and accessible market for domain investors while providing better price discovery and reduced transaction costs.
