Cryptocurrency Making Headway in Real Estate – Miami’s First Development Will Start Accepting Digital Currency
The real estate market is changing and it’s happening fast! We have seen sellers accepting cryptocurrency with offers as a bargaining chip and now we have our first Miami development accepting the digital platform currency for their development.
Arte Surfside Miami Beach is the first to join the cryptocurrency movement! Arte has officially partnered with SolidBlock, a securities trading platform, to provide safe and secure transactions for buying and selling needs.
SolidBlock’s is an end-to-end platform that helps real estate developers and fund managers raise funds offering digital securities. This platform assists with ‘tokening’ assets and selling shares in exchange for cryptocurrency. They believe that helping reduce overhead costs by moving quickly as well as structuring the safety for your business needs will achieve the highest level of cryptocurrency trading satisfaction. SolidBlock was founded in 2018 and has just recently expanded to the United States.
According to the Developer for Arte Surfside, Giovanni Fasciano, “Cryptocurrency is not only viable and sustainable new asset, it’s also the future of wealth. As more technology executives move to Miami and bring cryptocurrency along with them, it is crucial that buildings start to devise plans to make blockchain transactions easier and more secure for investors…”
Arte Surfside is setting the bar for real estate transactions in Miami and we are excited to see what is in store. The future of real estate is here. Are you ready?
