.wealth
Is .wealth a real TLD? Who’s applying to run it?
.wealth is contested: 6 applications for it are on ICANN’s Reveal Day list, as of 7 October 2026. They are XYZ Registry, Identity Digital, Intercap, GoDaddy Registry, Agamotto and Radix.
A clear finance-flavored name some fintechs and advisors will use, but money brands are conservative and mostly stay on .com.
Who is applying, and how much each already runs
Five of the 6 are tied to a registry that runs TLDs today. Identity Digital, XYZ Registry and GoDaddy Registry filed 432 applications between them across the round.
The nearest 2012 strings, and how many names each holds today
The closest 2012 string, .finance, held 36,535 names, May 2026. .investments held 7,759; .capital held 35,903. Chosen by AI from every string in the 2012 round, without being told what happened to any of them.
Same bet: an abstract mass-noun category label for the money-management vertical, sold to advisory and institutional firms who would hang their primary identity on the category itself rather than on a product or brand.
Same buyer and same premise — a plain-English financial-services category noun whose value rests on advisory/asset-management firms treating the descriptor as their name, with the same fight against the incumbent .com identity.
Also a generic finance noun aimed at money-management firms, but it works mainly as a firm-name suffix (X Capital) rather than a standalone category claim, so the identity job is narrower than .wealth's.

What a .wealth domain is
.wealth is not a TLD yet. It is a string on our record of the ICANN 2026 new gTLD round, in our Commerce category. 6 applications for it are on ICANN’s Reveal Day list.
Is the .wealth domain extension real yet?
.wealth is not yet a domain extension you can register: nothing resolves under it, and no registrar sells names in it. It is a string applicants have put forward in the ICANN 2026 new gTLD round, the process that decides whether it becomes one.
When can you buy a .wealth domain?
You can’t yet. A .wealth name can only be registered once the string is delegated (added to the DNS root) and its registry opens. Last round's closest parallel to .wealth was .finance, delegated on 29 April 2014.
Is .wealth a real TLD?
Not yet. .wealth is not in the DNS root, so nothing resolves under it. It’s here because .wealth is on ICANN’s Reveal Day list of applied-for strings. Every entry on this page links to its source.

- I place .wealth in the 30-49 band (usable but limited), near its top at 42. The string is a strong, aspirational dictionary word with an obvious vertical: wealth management, financial advice, fintech, and crypto wealth products. By analogy (flagged as analogy), finance-adjacent TLDs from the 2012 round such as .finance, .money, .capital and .fund found real but modest registration demand and only scattered primary-identity use, most visibly among crypto/DeFi projects rather than regulated incumbents; exact volumes and price points for those strings are unknown to this assessment. It is not in the 50-69 band because the buyer group that gives the string its meaning, regulated wealth managers and advisors, is among the most trust-sensitive and .com-conservative segments online, so sustained primary-identity adoption over the next 5 years is likely to stay thin and always needs explaining. It is not in the 10-29 band because demand is not event-driven or joke-shaped: the vertical is large, the word is premium-feeling, and the applicant, Radix, operates several high-volume 2012-round TLDs and states it builds and operates what it wins, which supports real distribution and marketing rather than a parked string. My main market uncertainty is whether crypto and fintech challengers, the least .com-loyal slice of finance, adopt .wealth as a primary identity at any meaningful rate, or whether they continue to prefer the already-established finance-adjacent strings.
