.CV has been doing more in 2025 to increase their visibility. They only have a couple reported domain sales at Namebio. Ai.Cv sold for $20,000 at the end of 2024. I interviewed Opeyemi Awoyemi and I was surprised to see that after being used for personal resume sites, another angle is CV being used for CryptoVerse.
1) Please let our readers know about the different pricing tiers when it comes to registering .cv domains.
We keep .cv domains simple and affordable. Standard .cv domains go from $9 per year, depending on the registrar. Then we have premium .cv domains like first names, blockchain and web3 related words, common words, very short dictionary words; those are priced higher, sometimes significantly, because they’re scarce and highly valuable for branding.
So in practice, you’ve got everyday affordable names for anyone who wants to own their digital CV, and premium names that appeal to professionals, communities, and businesses looking for exclusivity.
Q2) What industries are you seeing the greatest adoption rates for .cv?
Right now, it’s strongest in professional and career-related spaces: students, job seekers, freelancers, and consultants. We’re also seeing early traction from recruiters, HR tech platforms, and universities. Within that bucket, creative industries (designers, developers, content creators) have jumped on it more than others.
“.cv” immediately signals portfolio and career identity. Longer term, we expect adoption across sectors where personal brand and credentials matter globally. We have also started seeing some organic traction with web3 and crypto related domains for their startups since .cv is also synonymous to CryptoVerse
Q3) Are there any restrictions for registrants like gambling or adult related names?
We generally follow global best practices. There aren’t arbitrary restrictions, but like most responsible registries, we go aggressively to shut down harmful, illegal activity. We also proactively clamp brand misuse. Our main push is professional identity, so the ecosystem is naturally tilted toward safe and responsible use cases.
Q4) For some countries their country code makes up a significant portion of their GDP, Tuvalu, Anguilla, etc… How much of an impact does .cv make for Cabo Verde?
We’re still early, but the vision is big. .cv is growing into a meaningful digital export for Cabo Verde. As resumes get increasingly digital, .cv is becoming the de facto digital identity layer for professionals worldwide. That means ongoing revenue for Cabo Verde, global visibility for the country, and an asset that scales without being tied to physical geography.
It’s a strategic growth lever that, if done right, could become very significant for the beautiful nation of Cabo Verde.
Q5) I have seen some use .Cv for cryptoverse how did that get started and are you including that in your marketing of the extension?
That was organic, same as “China Ventures”. People in the crypto and web3 community picked up on “cv” as shorthand for “CryptoVerse.” We saw bitcoin.cv, solana.cv get purchased and we were like what? This opened our eyes to how versatile the extension is. While our main narrative is careers and digital identity, we welcome creative uses like CryptoVerse. We are now working with different blockchain players like Namefl to experiment with initiatives for crypto communities.
Q6) Why should a domain investor invest in .cv domain names?
The real opportunity for domain investors in .cv isn’t just only that people will own personal domains for their professional identity. The bigger play is in communities, categories, and careers and the CryptoVerse. We’ve already seen people build solutions and niche professional networks on .cv, and that’s where the future is heading. As AI pushes work toward being more niche, project-based, and flexible, specialized professional networks will gain more power. That creates opportunities around names like doctor.cv, professor.cv, or entire category domains that become hubs for profiles and communities.
We also see value for broader career-based identifiers, where groups of people can anchor their digital presence around shared domains. And then there’s the CryptoVerse, “.cv” is already being picked up as shorthand in that space, which opens the door for brands and projects to establish themselves on .cv.
This is a strategic play on CryptoVerse, digital identity, and category ownership – the levers that create outsized returns in emerging domain markets. The trajectory is clear: .xyz became the choice for crypto and Web3 startups, but the best names there are now either unavailable or prohibitively expensive. .cv is at the growth stage, with strong tailwinds, and offers a rare window where investors can still secure premium and highly relevant crypto/Web3 names at accessible prices.
