Holding assets on another network? Some networks we don’t take deposits from still have a path: bridge or swap into a supported asset first, then fund normally. See how that works for Robinhood Chain, Coinbase tokenized stocks, and Kraken xStocks, or see tokenized stocks & RWAs for the general model.
Need a crypto-friendly real estate agent? Bring your own — any licensed agent can close a RealOpen-funded purchase — or browse the partner agent directory.
Bitcoin is the original crypto asset, and it's still one of the most liquid. With RealOpen, you can buy real estate using BTC without finding a seller who accepts it.
Your Bitcoin is converted to USD at the time of funding—fast, compliant, and price-locked for closing.

Ethereum isn't just a blockchain—it's the foundation of Web3. And yes, you can use it to buy a home.
RealOpen handles the ETH-to-USD conversion at the time of funding. You send ETH, escrow (and the seller) receives cash.
