The international high-end real estate market is accelerating its embrace of digital assets. According to the latest "Luxury Outlook 2026" report released by Sotheby's International Realty, cryptocurrencies are playing an increasingly important role in global top-tier property transactions.

The report highlights that in international financial centers such as Dubai, New York, and California, the frequency of using crypto assets in the high-end residential market has significantly increased. More notably, regulatory frameworks in some regions are being adjusted—some policy changes are expected to allow crypto assets to be included in mortgage qualification assessments, which means the legal boundaries for using digital assets as home purchase funds are expanding.

This shift reflects the gradual integration of traditional finance and the crypto ecosystem and also indicates that high-net-worth individuals are increasingly recognizing digital assets as a store of value. For the entire Web3 ecosystem, this is undoubtedly another important signal of institutional adoption.
