According to BlockBeats, U.S. real estate company Propy has launched a cryptocurrency mortgage service, allowing buyers to purchase properties using digital currencies. The service is set to debut with the sale of a tokenized apartment in Hawaii on January 29, with a starting price of $250,000. Buyers can use Bitcoin and Ethereum as collateral.
Propy's CEO, Natalia, highlighted the benefits for Bitcoin holders, noting that they can acquire real estate through loans without selling their Bitcoin and incurring taxes. She described this initiative as a milestone that demonstrates the future of real estate, showcasing how blockchain technology can streamline the home-buying process by replacing traditional, lengthy loan approval procedures with instant and efficient solutions.
