Christie’s Unveils Crypto Division for Home Sales

Christie’s International Real Estate has launched a dedicated division to handle luxury property transactions using cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin, expanding digital asset services in real estate. Led by Aaron Kirman, the division consists of legal, financial, and crypto experts who facilitate secure, bank-free deals. The move follows several notable sales, including a $65 million Beverly Hills mansion, and Christie’s now lists more than $1 billion in properties available for crypto payment. The new service aims to appeal to crypto investors and high-net-worth individuals by offering enhanced privacy protections for buyers. This initiative aligns with a broader shift in federal regulatory attitudes, making digital assets more viable for real estate transactions. Kirman projects that crypto transactions could represent over one-third of U.S. residential sales within five years.
