Enhanced flexibility for global investors
Open House’s decision to expand its crypto payment options aims to provide greater flexibility for international clients.
“This expansion ensures our global clients with greater flexibility in their investment process, subject to compliance with their country’s regulations,” Open House Group said in a statement on Friday.
The development, according to the company, will cater to the growing demand for cryptocurrency transactions like XRP, SOL, and DOGE, which offer faster and more efficient payment processing compared to traditional banking methods.
The firm, which boasts annual sales exceeding ¥1 trillion ($6.7 billion), has been a pioneer in adopting blockchain technology and digital assets.
Since 2022, Open House has explored the potential of crypto and blockchain in real estate, even sponsoring research initiatives like the Bitcoin Lightning Network. Yokiko Nishimura, who leads the company’s crypto initiatives, has been instrumental in driving these efforts since 2015.
In addition to expanding its crypto payment options, Open House has launched a Traditional Chinese version of its website to serve Chinese-speaking clients better.
The integration of cryptocurrencies as a payment option is seen as a strategic step toward future growth. “Utilizing cryptocurrency can simplify numerous aspects of real estate transactions,” Open House noted. “It allows for quicker fund transfers and opens the door for a wider audience of investors.”
Open House emphasised that while it is committed to innovation, clients must ensure compliance with their respective country’s regulations. “Customers must comply with their respective country laws and tax regulations when engaging in these financial activities,” the company stated.
