Now, they will be offering Domain Names and Intellectual Property, and for good reason; domain names are digital assets that offer global opportunities. I love their descriptions of the asset.

Domain names are purely digital, they have virtually zero carrying costs and they offer the ability to generate passive revenue while you hold them.
