Finance

Six of these are Radix’s own Finance category, published by the company as part of its 46-application portfolio: .coin, .crypto, .fintech, .invest, .wallet and .wealth. Three of them, .coin, .crypto and .wallet, are also recorded under crypto and Web3. A string can sit in two groups here, and this is the case the feature was built for: the words are financial and they are also Web3, and picking one reading would mean discarding a company’s description of its own application.

Three more joined when ICANN published its list. The .accounting application defines the string as recording and reporting financial information, and .euro was applied for by the European Central Bank as the name of the common currency. .borrow is named only as a replacement string, so no application defines it.

An applicant’s own reading decides the rest. .lend is not a member, because its application defines lending as letting someone use a tool, a book or a space. .stock has two applicants and two meanings, ownership interests and inventory. .asset is defined as anything that has value.

The banks and insurers in ICANN’s list applied for their own names, and a string that is a company’s own name is left out of every group on this tracker. That is why .arabbank, .bankofamerica and .swedbank are in excluded: they contain “bank”, and they are names.

.advisory, .firm, .portfolio and .profile are not members. Radix groups them under Business and Creator, not Finance, and its grouping decides its own strings.

.find, .finder, .infinite and .roofing contain “fin” and are not finance strings. .fundraise contains “fund” and is a word from charity. All five are in excluded, which is the record that somebody checked.
