I posted in October the last remaining 131 2-character .io domains. I checked them again last night and they are now all gone.
Mario Ellebrecht registered g2.io on July 15th, which was the last available 2-character .io domain:
Domain Handle : DOM-309097

Expiry : 2015-11-25When will the last of the 3-character .io domains be registered? There are still a lot left, but if the huge recent spike in interest in .io domains continues, it won’t be as long as we think.
