The domain DePIN.com has sold for $57,600 according to newly surfaced marketplace sales data from November 25, 2025, marking one of the highest recent transactions tied to the fast-growing Decentralized Physical Infrastructure Network (DePIN) sector. The name is currently not resolving, and buyer details are not yet public.
A fresh lookup of public auction records shows DePIN.com closing at $57,600 on Namecheap’s marketplace on November 25. The deal appears alongside mid-five-figure and low-five-figure sales on the same day, including ILoveTsar.com ($15,000 on Afternic), NG.org ($11,111 via Atom), and EncoreConcerts.com ($10,000 via DomainMarket). The sale arrives as “DePIN”—shorthand for Decentralized Physical Infrastructure Networks—gains visibility across Web3 search trends, with Google displaying rich-info cards and multiple top-ranking explainer hubs. The keyword has become a core narrative in the blockchain-powered IoT, AI compute, and wireless networks space.
At the time of writing, DePIN.com does not resolve, indicating either a pending nameserver update or a stealth buyer preparing future deployment. For investors, the sale highlights rising competition for category-defining Web3 terms in .com, especially as DePIN projects pull attention and capital from the crypto community. The sector itself covers everything from decentralized wireless networks to distributed compute resources, making it a natural fit for venture-backed startups looking to anchor their brand on an exact-match domain.
Worth watching now is whether DePIN.com resurfaces as a Layer-1 or Layer-2 project, an analytics dashboard, or a marketplace aggregating DePIN protocols. The domain is clean enough to serve any of those roles, and the $57,600 price suggests the buyer sees real brand value in owning the category name outright. The other angle is whether this sale triggers follow-on buying of related DePIN keyword domains—if category leaders start paying mid-five figures for the core term, adjacent strings like DePINnetwork.com or DePINprotocol.com could see renewed interest.
The broader question is how Web3 infrastructure narratives—DePIN, RWAs (real-world assets), on-chain compute—shift domain demand heading into 2026. These terms are still relatively new in mainstream crypto discourse, but they’re gaining traction fast, and early movers who secure the exact-match .coms are positioning themselves to capture search traffic, brand authority, and market mindshare as the sector matures.
