WHY CRYPTO AND REAL ESTATE?
For crypto holders:
Convenience:It is much easier for crypto holders to transfer their funds directly. The alternative would involve sending their funds to an exchange, selling, and moving them into a bank account as a taxable asset, to only then start the buying process.
Simplicity: Digital wallets and account addresses ensure safe transactions with public and private keys. Private keys can be used to sign and verify transactions on the blockchain. This means transactions only ever involve the buyer and the seller, or agency.
Diversification: Crypto holders can use blockchain technology and tokenization to access fractionalized real estate investments and diversify their assets.
For sellers:
No banking intermediaries: Traditional currencies and banking can stand in the way of buying a property. Cryptocurrencies eliminate third-party complications and facilitate payments directly to the seller.
Speed: Cryptocurrencies enable quicker transactions than traditional payment processors, meaning sellers save time and secure their funds sooner.
Increased customer base: Crypto is the fastest-growing consumer segment in the world. Approximately 40% of U.S. consumers own at least one cryptocurrency, and according to one study, 24% would spend their funds on a new home. Sellers can increase their customer base by tapping into this affluent market.

ForumPay’s payment gateway technology enables the seller to invoice their client in FIAT currency, so the buyer can simply choose which of the supported cryptocurrencies they would like to use to make the purchase. ForumPay then instantly converts crypto into FIAT at the moment of the transaction and settles the FIAT funds to the seller or the title/escrow company.
Yes, ForumPay can be harnessed to perform all of the necessary checks on the transaction to facilitate crypto payments for a mortgage down payment.
Some buyers purchase real estate internationally, and in these circumstances, crypto offers a much more efficient form of payment. Others simply use their accumulated wealth to invest or purchase real estate. Paying directly in crypto is a lot more convenient, direct, faster and more cost effective than converting crypto into FIAT manually in order to purchase real estate.
For the seller nothing changes. It can even be compared to using a card payment. In this case, the buyer would use cryptocurrency directly from the wallet of their choice, while the seller receives the asking price in FIAT currency directly into their bank account, as if the buyer had made the purchase through traditional means.
ForumPay supports both options. The buyer can either pay the entire real estate asking price with cryptocurrency, or make additional payments via traditional payment railways to reach the full asking price.
ForumPay can facilitate cryptocurrency real estate transactions globally with the only exception being OFAC sanctioned countries.
