In Beverly Hills, a mansion for $65M was put up for sale, which can also be paid for with bitcoin.
At the exchange rate at the time of writing, the price in the first crypto is around 1930 BTC. In the case of a purchase with Bitcoin, the transaction will be the largest in the real estate sector using digital assets.
“We are seeing a trend of sellers who are open to payments in digital currencies,” said real estate agent Aaron Kirman.
According to Michael Chen, founder of the Luxford Development Group, digital assets are gaining popularity in such transactions because they are “easier, faster and cheaper.”
