Alibaba files multiple .ai domain complaints

This signals that major corporations are treating .ai domains as critical brand assets, not just novelty web addresses. The transfers show dispute resolution can favor trademark holders, but the rejected 1688.ai bid highlights limits to that protection. For the broader RWA and crypto space, it underscores that .ai namespace value is rising, and domain squatting risks are becoming a real operational concern for projects with AI-linked names. Whether more large firms pursue similar complaints is the pattern to watch.
