🏡 Christie’s Now Accepting Crypto for Real Estate—Because Why Not Buy a Mansion with Bitcoin?

[nihalsari]

You can now buy that multimillion-dollar Beverly Hills mansion without going through a bank—or leaving your blockchain wallet.

Legendary UK auction house Christie’s is stepping further into Web3 territory. They’ve just launched a dedicated crypto real estate division, letting buyers and sellers transact entirely in crypto for luxury properties.

Yes, seriously. Crypto meets castles. Ethereum meets estate agents. Bitcoin meets Beverly Hills.
️ From NFTs to Mansions

Christie’s isn’t new to the crypto party. They’ve auctioned NFTs, built their own Ethereum-based auction platform, and now they’re targeting real estate.

This new division includes:

Crypto-native legal and finance experts 🧑‍⚖️

Analysts who actually understand wallets and on-chain trails 🧠

A growing portfolio of $1 BILLION worth of real estate accepting crypto 💸

And we’re not talking fixer-uppers. We’re talking Beverly Hills palaces, ultra-modern Joshua Tree retreats, and everything in between.
️‍️ Anonymous... but Make It Legal

Christie’s CEO Aaron Kirman says crypto real estate is still rare—but rising among the ultra-rich who want to keep their purchases on the low-low.

Instead of traditional LLCs or trusts, high-net-worth buyers are now setting up crypto-native shell structures to hide identities behind wallet addresses. It’s legal, clever, and way harder to trace.

“We’ve been really successful at protecting buyer identity,” Kirman said.
“Sometimes even the seller doesn’t know who bought the house.”

Private, fast, and decentralized. Just the way Satoshi dreamed.
️ Banks Might Be Next

It doesn’t stop there. Christie’s is already in talks with banks to enable crypto-financed mortgages. That’s right—you might be able to stake ETH and get approved for a home loan soon.

And if you think this is fringe? The Federal Housing Finance Agency recently told Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac to start prepping proposals on how to treat crypto as reserves in mortgage assessments.

In other words: TradFi is warming up to the crypto-backed homebuying future. Fast.
🧠 Final Thoughts

Why does this matter?

Real-world utility for crypto? Check.

Decentralized finance in action? Absolutely.

Would you buy a house with Bitcoin?
Would you sell one? Or are you waiting for the "Mortgage-to-Earn" trend?
