In a world where traditional banks drag their feet, the affluent are opting for crypto-fueled shortcuts to secure their European dream homes.
With Lithuania-based Brighty leading the charge, over 100 deals have been swiftly sealed in the past year alone, signaling a bold shift as stablecoins like EURC become the currency of choice for the jet-set crowd. As the rigidity of conventional banking wanes, high-net-worth investors are exploiting the fluidity of digital assets in property markets from Cyprus to Malta. Big banks might be skittish, but with crypto's increasing legitimacy, it's clear: your next mansion could be just a blockchain away.
Not just relevant to the wealthy, the very nature of real estate transactions bypassing traditional banking represents a major step in a new direction. Liquidity, access, reduced friction, and greater independence mean new opportunities for consumers up and down the socioeconomic ladder.
