I asked in a Namecheap support chat about why they are not allowing .XYZ registrations anymore. Here is what I was told;

Dmitriy O.: Yes, regretfully, Namecheap does not provide the registration of .XYZ anymore.

So if you currently have .XYZ domains at Namecheap they will continue to support the extension and allow renewals. You will not have to move or transfer your .XYZ domains to another domain registrar. They just won’t be allowing new registrations.

According to NtldStats, a website that tracks new domains, Namecheap has over 1 million .XYZ domains managed by them currently. This means they are the third largest .XYZ domain registrar trailing Uniregistrar and Chinese domain registrar Chengdu West Dimension Digital Technology Co., Ltd. Aka West.cn.
