Upcoming exchange listings
Cloudname is a platform to register, trade, rent, and tokenize both traditional and blockchain domain names.
There are at least 400 million domains registered worldwide, and the market capitalization of .com alone is $249 billion, which Cloudname aims to capture.
Before even the IDO of the project concluded, Cloudname acquired a listing for its CNAME token on centralized crypto exchange (CEX) Gate.io, which is among the top 10 exchanges with a 24-hour volume of $1.2 billion. CNAME will be listed on Gate.io on February 26th.
The token is also listed on one of the most popular decentralized crypto exchanges (DEX) PancakeSwap. In the past 24 hours, the DEX recorded half a billion dollars in trading volume, according to the data from CoinGecko.
Based on daily trading volume, PancakeSwap sits at 2nd spot, one rank below Uniswap. But when it comes to the number of times users visited these DEX websites, PancakeSwap has captured the top spot with nearly 20.8 million visits compared to Uniswap’s 6.69 million visits. Additionally, PancakeSwap boasts more than 4,000 coins and 5,450 trading pairs available for users to trade.
With its IDO launch and subsequent exchange listings, Cloudname is now much closer to leveraging the untapped domain trading market

Business owners will also benefit from Cloudname’s services through its renting feature, as anyone who cannot afford to buy a domain for thousands of dollars can instead rent it on Cloudname. Moreover, Cloudname integrates 20 different APIs with third-party providers to discover and display the pricing factor of domains and provides analytics and prediction tools so that users can spot market trends before they are saturated.
