.finance is a generic top-level domain (gTLD) that was successfully delegated to the Root Zone of the Domain Name System (DNS) on April 29, 2014, by the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN). The registry operator for this domain is Donuts (Cotton Cypress, LLC), which passed all the necessary processes to become a Registry Operator for the string. The domain falls under the commerce category and was one of the new gTLDs applied for in ICANN's New gTLD Program. At the time of delegation, there were already 41,031 registrations with over 5,500 parked domains, representing approximately 13.54% of total registrations.
The acquisition of a .finance domain may be subject to certain restrictions due to its association with the financial industry and regulatory bodies' concerns regarding consumer protection. One significant obstacle arose before the delegation when the European Commission issued a letter to all applicants within the New gTLD Program, including .finance, expressing potential issues of compatibility with existing legislation and policy objectives of the European Union. This objection was not part of ICANN's GAC Early Warning process, and the Commission emphasized that it did not consider itself legally bound to ICANN processes. However, there are currently no known restrictions preventing individuals or organizations from registering a .finance domain, provided they comply with standard registration requirements and applicable laws and regulations.
