Here’s a plot twist for the real estate world, Opendoor , the $6.22 billion real estate behemoth, just announced they’re ready to let you buy a home with bitcoin .

The future of house-hunting might involve trading satoshis instead of sweaty cash.

Crypto payments for housing

Opendoor’s CEO Kaz Nejatian dropped this bombshell during a chat on X, basically saying, yep, bitcoin and maybe other cryptos are coming soon as payment options for your next crib.

We will. Just need to prioritize it.

The market didn’t take it lightly, Opendoor’s shares jumped from $8.11 to $9.29 faster than you can say blockchain.

Headquartered in San Francisco but playing nationwide in 44 U.S. markets, Opendoor is no slouch.

They pulled in $1.57 billion revenue in Q2 2025 and employ around 1,470 people hustling through their slick mobile app.

Financing’s baked right into their system, and their current setup looks perfectly primed to handle crypto payments without breaking a sweat.

Global trend

And the funny fact is that his move isn’t an isolated stunt. Real estate players worldwide are dancing with crypto assets.

It’s almost like a global trend. Take RAK Properties in the UAE , for example.

Last September, they teamed up with fintech wizard Hubpay to accept bitcoin, ether, and USDT for buying property, instantly swapping those cryptos into dirhams through fully regulated means.

It’s part of Ras Al Khaimah’s grand plan to lure younger, tech-savvy investors as they chase their Vision 2030 goals of economic diversification and fattened foreign investment.

Real estate’s fast lane

For the moment, Opendoor hasn’t handed out a launch date or confirmed a stablecoin cameo alongside bitcoin.

But the message is clear, digital currency is staking its claim in real estate’s fast lane.

So, if you were wondering when your crypto stash might finally snag you that dream home, the answer just got a lot closer.

Opendoor’s step could be the spark that turns “Paying in Bitcoin?” from a rare question into your next buying option.

After the US October CPI exceeded expectations, Goldman Sachs and Nomura added a forecast for an interest rate hike in March next year, while Deutsche Bank included a forecast for a rate hike in January next year. Currently, the market has fully priced in a 25 basis point rate hike in December, with a 13% probability for a 50 basis point hike. On Wednesday, the US Treasury spot market was closed, but Treasury futures continued to fall, with corresponding yields rising by about 2 to 4 basis points, and spot gold came under pressure, dropping by 1.1%.

No Need to Worry About the Cooling Down of AI Data Center Construction? The US Import Boom Is Unlikely to Subside in the Short Term, Real Impact May Come in 2029

It takes an average of 4.8 years from finalizing investment to starting construction of a data center project, and an additional 2.6 years from construction start to becoming operational. Servers usually cannot be installed until after the building structure and racks are completed. For trade partners such as Taiwan (China), South Korea, and Mexico who rely on US data center supply chain demand, the inertia in construction timelines provides at least a one- to two-year buffer for future exports.

Federal Reserve Major Debate: When Should the Tenure of “Number Three” Williams End?

The main point of contention is whether Williams should step down in June 2028, upon completing a full 10-year term, or in June 2027, when he reaches the mandatory retirement age of 65. Analysts point out that the Federal Reserve Board holds ultimate discretion; if he leaves early, Fed Chair Waller would be able to assert greater control over the appointment to this critical position. However, forcing Williams to shorten his term could easily be interpreted as political manipulation. Williams himself is expected to serve until June 2028.
