Buy U.S. Real Estate with Crypto — From Anywhere in the World
Live in London? Dubai? São Paulo? You can still buy a home in Miami, Los Angeles, or anywhere in the United States. And you can fund the purchase with crypto assets.
RealOpen converts your crypto to U.S. dollars and wires directly to escrow, so you avoid lossy foreign exchange, wire delays, and banking friction — here's how buying without a US bank account works.
No U.S. residency needed. No exchange accounts. Just your wallet and a property you love.

How to Buy U.S. Real Estate from Abroad — With Crypto
1. Verify Your Wallet
Submit your crypto wallet — BTC, ETH, USDT, or other supported assets. RealOpen verifies your balance instantly and issues a Proof of Funds letter accepted by U.S. sellers.
- No screenshots or PDF exports — fully on-chain
- Works with hardware wallets and multisig
- Letter accepted by agents, brokers, and title companies
2. Lock a Real-Time OTC Quote
When you're ready to fund, we lock in a real-time OTC conversion quote. You get 10 minutes to send crypto while your rate is fixed — no slippage, no games.
- Institutional pricing with minimal spreads
- Real-time rate based on full cash-to-close
- Rate lock gives you time to fund with confidence
3. Send Your Crypto
You receive secure on-chain instructions. Send from anywhere in the world — your wallet, your custody provider, even multisig. We confirm receipt and handle the fiat side.
- No exchange required
- Send from any supported wallet or custody solution
- Conversion and compliance handled by RealOpen
4. Escrow Gets the USD
Once your crypto is received and converted, we wire U.S. dollars directly to the title or escrow company. To the seller, it looks and feels like a traditional cash deal.
- Same-day fiat wire to escrow
- Seller never sees or touches crypto
- Works with any licensed title/escrow provider in the U.S.
Traditional Cross-Border Real Estate vs. RealOpen
Buying U.S. property from abroad the old way means dealing with slow banks, lossy currency exchange, and wire fees — all while hoping it clears before your closing date.
RealOpen skips all that. We turn your crypto into U.S. dollars and send funds directly to escrow — same day, fully compliant, and seller-ready.
No exchange accounts. No waiting. No international wire chaos.
| Feature | Traditional Cross-Border | RealOpen |
|---|---|---|
| Currency Conversion | Bank or money service, high FX spreads | Institutional crypto-to-USD OTC |
| Funding Time | 3-10 days (wires, approvals) | Same day |
| Bank Account Required | Yes, U.S. or international | No — wallet only |
| FX Losses | Common, often 2-5% | Minimized with locked OTC quote |
| Seller Requirements | International money transfer info | Seller sees USD only — no crypto needed |
| Proof of Funds | Hard to verify or accept across borders | Formal letter accepted by sellers and agents |
| Real Estate Readiness | Manual, slow, unfamiliar process | Purpose-built for crypto closings |
Requirements for International Crypto Buyers
- A crypto wallet with sufficient BTC, ETH, USDC, USDT, or supported assets
- A quick KYC/KYB identity check — usually takes under 10 minutes
- A U.S. property you're under contract on — or one you're ready to make an offer on
- No need for a U.S. bank account, residency, or LLC setup

Don't Tokenize the House. Tokenize the Buyer.
