What domain extension (ICANN, not web3) do you see most *NEW* crypto projects using?

.XYZ seems to be on the way out for new crypto projects. What are some of the most common extensions now? I'm asking about legacy domain extensions, not web3 stuff

If we are talking crypto projects, then we are also talking cryptocurrency and finance.

With that in mind, I think the following ICANN backed gTLD's are in the line of fire for crypto related project development (Sourced from the IANA Root Zone Database and ICANN’s delegated TLD list):

TLD	Category	Intended Use
.bank	Sponsored gTLD	Licensed banks and financial institutions (eligibility-restricted)
.insurance	Sponsored gTLD	Insurance carriers and authorized brokers
.finance	Unrestricted gTLD	Broad financial services, advisors, fintech platforms
.money	Unrestricted gTLD	Personal finance, payments, money-management services
.credit	Unrestricted gTLD	Credit-related offerings (cards, scoring, lending)
.loan	Unrestricted gTLD	Loan providers, peer-to-peer lending platforms
.investments	Unrestricted gTLD	Investment firms, wealth management, asset allocation
.capital	Unrestricted gTLD	Venture capital, private equity, funding vehicles
.broker	Unrestricted gTLD	Brokerage services (stocks, forex, commodities)
.exchange	Unrestricted gTLD	Trading and exchange platforms (stocks, crypto, commodities)
.mortgage	Unrestricted gTLD	Mortgage lenders and refinancing services
.tax	Unrestricted gTLD	Tax preparation, advisory, and filing services
.fund	Unrestricted gTLD	Mutual funds, hedge funds, investment funds

Of course, that's just my opinion.

Or did you mean more blockchain tech type projects on ICANN-Backed TLD's and not so much crypto-finance related projects?

.Org is becoming very popular because it conveys a level of trust and goodwill that no other extension does.

Trust and goodwill are very important to the adoption of Web3.

Where are you seeing ORG being used in crypto? How many live crypto sites are out there using ORG?

Startups and recent funding filings.

The latter is the most important:
