Twitter opens X Handle Market for pre-registration! The most expensive username could actually reach a million dollars?

Twitter (X) officially states that there are billions of users on X, and when new users sign up, the desired username may have already been claimed. The X Handle Market makes it easier to circulate inactive usernames like (Handle). This market is open only to Premium+ and Premium Business subscription holders, offering both free and paid options to request or obtain eligible usernames. Below is a summary of the differences between the two types of usernames, and currently, applications for a waitlist can be made on the official website.

Premium+ and Premium Business users can obtain a Priority username for free.

X Handke Marjet will categorize usernames into Priority ( and Rare ), where the former can be obtained for free upon approval, while the latter may require payment depending on the circumstances.

Priority (: Typically includes full names, multi-word phrases, or alphanumeric combinations. Such as: @GabrielJones, @PizzaEater, @ParadoxAI.

Qualified X subscribers can apply for the desired username, which will be transferred for free upon approval. Once the request is approved, the old username will be reserved and will not be provided to anyone else. If the subscription plan is canceled or downgraded, the old username will return to the account after a 30-day grace period. During the switch, followers, posts, and account settings remain unchanged.

The most expensive Twitter username is worth over seven figures in dollars.

Rare ): a short, generic, or culturally significant name. For example: @Pizza, @Tom, @One.

Users with this type of username may be able to obtain (Public Drops) for free depending on the situation. Twitter will evaluate factors such as the past contributions of the account applying for the username, the intended use of the account name, platform engagement, and influence, to determine who is more suitable for the username. Generally, usernames with commercial value have already been reserved at X Handle Market, and invited users can purchase them directly, with a permanent ownership. The specific price may range from $2,500 to seven figures or more.
