Luxury brokerage Christie’s International Real Estate, affiliated with the renowned Christie’s auction house, has unveiled a dedicated crypto division.
The firm has created a specialized team of lawyers, analysts, and crypto experts to handle digital asset transactions.
Christie’s CEO Aaron Kirman said that the division was launched after closing several high-profile crypto transactions. One notable deal involved the purchase of a $65 million property in Beverly Hills using Bitcoin.
“The trend was obvious — crypto is here to stay. It’s only going to get bigger over the next few years,” Stated Kirman.” The crypto division will facilitate high-value real estate deals without banks or fiat.
Kirman said that he now has a portfolio of homes worth more than $1 billion, whose sellers are willing to accept crypto. Included in the portfolio is Invisible House in Joshua Tree, priced at about $18 million with a design featuring reflective walls.
According to Kirman, crypto could account for more than one-third of all residential property sales in the US within five years.
The crypto space is experiencing a trifecta of regulatory clarity, macro easing, and corporate adoption, driving institutional adoption.
