While it was true then (as it is today) that cryptos aren\u2019t quite positioned to achieve mainstream adoption in the real estate market, they have unquestionably gained more general influence.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p style=\"line-height: 1.5; font-size: 14px;\"><span style=\"color: #333333;\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/preprod.realtrends.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2021\/01\/cryptocurrency-3409724_1280.webp\" alt=\"cryptocurrency-3409724_1280\"><\/p>\n<p><\/span><span style=\"color: #333333;\">Leading cryptocurrencies are now well known, valuable, and \u2014 at least by comparison to how they used to be \u2014 somewhat stable. There have already been examples of cryptos being used in real estate transactions, and as they\u2019re increasingly normalized, we\u2019re likely to see more examples still. But aside from the straightforward use of cryptocurrencies in real estate transactions, there may be some additional effects and applications as well.<\/span><span style=\"color: #333333;\"><\/p>\n<p><\/span><span style=\"color: #333333; font-weight: bold;\">Real Estate ICOs<\/span><span style=\"color: #333333;\"><\/p>\n<p><\/span><span style=\"color: #333333;\">When we talk about cryptocurrency in real estate, it\u2019s primarily related to the idea of direct payment. We envision realtors and even sellers accepting funds from buyers in the form of cryptocurrency, as opposed to ordinary money. In some cases though, we\u2019re actually seeing the real estate industry essentially&nbsp;<em>creating<\/em><\/span><span style=\"color: #333333;\">&nbsp;<\/span><span style=\"color: #333333;\">cryptocurrency.<\/span><span style=\"color: #333333;\"><\/p>\n<p><\/span><span style=\"color: #333333;\">This is a reference to the emergence of&nbsp;<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/medium.com\/@AQWIREInno\/https-blog-qwikwire-com-top-7-real-estate-icos-here-s-what-you-need-to-know-5c0c676c708e\" style=\"font-weight: bold;\"><span style=\"color: #333333;\">real estate ICOs<\/span><\/a><span style=\"color: #333333;\">, which are essentially blockchain-based tokens that serve to crowdfund real estate projects and\/or facilitate purchases. The easiest way to think of the idea is that an ICO functions somewhat like a share in a project in cryptocurrency form. Numerous projects of this nature worth several million dollars each have already succeeded in selling ICOs for just a dollar or two, and it\u2019s likely to be an arrangement we continue to see more of. It\u2019s essentially a new kind of real estate investment grounded in original cryptocurrencies.<\/span><span style=\"color: #333333;\"><\/p>\n<p><\/span><span style=\"color: #333333; font-weight: bold;\">Alternatives to Real Estate Investment<\/span><span style=\"color: #333333;\"><\/p>\n<p><\/span><span style=\"color: #333333;\">Even as cryptocurrencies introduce new means of investing in real estate, they may also be providing some with an alternative to real estate investment. Buying and selling cryptocurrency is in itself an investment of sorts. But as these currencies have grown more popular and more valuable, methods more suitable to traders seeking to diversify their portfolios have emerged.<\/span><span style=\"color: #333333;\"><\/p>\n<p><\/span><span style=\"color: #333333;\">Primarily this is a reference to futures and CFD trading. Futures trading with cryptos now works much like any other futures arrangement: an investor makes a deal to buy an asset at a fixed price at a future date regardless of fluctuation in value in the interim. Meanwhile,&nbsp;<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.plus500.co.uk\/Trading\/CryptoCurrencies\" style=\"font-weight: bold;\"><span style=\"color: #333333;\">buying and selling crypto CFDs<\/span><\/a><span style=\"color: #333333;\">&nbsp;<\/span><span style=\"color: #333333;\">is somewhat more unusual, but similar in practice. In this sort of an arrangement, an investor can seek to profit off of predictions \u2014 not arranging futures trades, but instead setting up contracts that pay out for correct anticipation of a currency\u2019s upward or downward movement over time.<\/span><span style=\"color: #333333;\"><\/p>\n<p><\/span><span style=\"color: #333333;\">These somewhat new methods of crypto investment don\u2019t directly affect real estate. However, they\u2019ve emerged as popular options for those seeking investment activity outside of stock markets. It is such people who have often been drawn to real estate, and it\u2019s conceivable that the presence of new, mainstream options may actually draw some away from the real estate market moving forward.<\/span><span style=\"color: #333333;\"><\/p>\n<p><\/span><span style=\"color: #333333; font-weight: bold;\">Blockchain Use<\/span><span style=\"color: #333333;\"><\/p>\n<p><\/span><span style=\"color: #333333;\">The idea of&nbsp;<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.forbes.com\/sites\/forbesrealestatecouncil\/2018\/11\/15\/three-ways-blockchain-technology-will-revolutionize-real-estate-in-2019\/#22a854c86d20\" style=\"font-weight: bold;\"><span style=\"color: #333333;\">blockchain revolutionizing real estate<\/span><\/a><span style=\"color: #333333;\">&nbsp;<\/span><span style=\"color: #333333;\">is one that\u2019s been talked about for a number of years now. The main idea is that the blockchain\u2019s support for \u201csmart contracts\u201d \u2014 effectively, automated contracts that can be customized and carried out via the technology \u2014 can basically take over the industry. They can lower fees and make it simpler for all parties involved to do business on any given real estate deal. To date though, we haven\u2019t quite seen the mass movement toward blockchain-driven real estate transactions some expected.<\/span><span style=\"color: #333333;\"><\/p>\n<p><\/span><span style=\"color: #333333;\">That\u2019s where cryptocurrency comes in. Much is written these days about how blockchain tech has evolved beyond cryptocurrencies, and it is indeed proving to have numerous additional applications. But there\u2019s also something to be said for the idea that as cryptocurrencies continue to gain attention, influence, and value, the blockchain will be better understood as well. By this logic, it\u2019s fair to wonder if progress in cryptocurrencies will ultimately bring about more widespread use of blockchain technology in real estate.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A&nbsp; few years ago, the question of whether cryptocurrencies could change real estate&nbsp;truly became relevant.
