Bitcoin payments for real estate have become increasingly accepted in cities across the US, as well as in the United Arab Emirates, Indonesia, Ireland, and other parts of the world. Acceptance of this new channel reflects a willingness by many real estate owners and developers to respond to the market. Of course, Bitcoin payment has its challenges due to the current volatility in the crypto markets (with Bitcoin’s price going from $20,000 to $7,000 in the span of just a few months), but buyers and sellers are finding creative ways to deal with these challenges. Blockchain technologies have also seen a rising use in real estate, with the City of South Burlington, Vermont implementing a new pilot Blockchain program to record real estate transactions.
