What may be the most expensive property currently on the market in the United Kingdom is now being sold with an eye-watering price tag of £175 million (~$241 million)—and the seller is reportedly taking offers in Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH).
The property is a penthouse in the One Hyde Park development, located in London's prestigious Knightsbridge district. It features a whopping 18,000 square feet of living space, equivalent in size to around 23 regular London homes. It counts five sizeable bedrooms, a cocktail bar, a private gym and spa, and a wine room with capacity for 750 bottles, among its many lavish details. It also comes with four parking spaces and two wrap-around terraces to boot.
One Hyde Park is a massive residential and retail complex situated right next to the Royal Park of the same name. It's being sold by property tycoon Nick Candy, one of the figures behind some of the UK's largest property developments in recent years, including NoHo Square and Chelsea Barracks—also located in London. The sale is being brokered by estate agents Savills Plc and Knight Frank.
Should you wish to purchase it at the asking price with crypto, you'll need to cough up a staggering 3,865 BTC or 98,590 ETH at current rates. The property mogul told Bloomberg that the penthouse is "a world-class real estate asset in the heart of London that will continue to perform as a solid investment for years to come."
However, given that the average property price in London increased by 5.3% in the last year, while the price of Bitcoin appreciated by 112.8% in 2021 alone, it may turn out to be a less lucrative opportunity than it first appears.
If sold for cryptocurrency, the apartment will become one of the most expensive assets ever bought with crypto in recent years—easily eclipsing the $69 million that was paid for a Beeple NFT earlier this year.
Taiwan-listed public company WiseLink has stepped into Bitcoin treasury financing, leading a $10 million raise for Top Win International (Nasdaq: SORA), a Hong Kong-based luxury watch trader and retailer now expanding into digital assets. The parties say their move marks the first time a Taiwan-listed firm has backed a Bitcoin treasury company. “We believe now is the golden window to implement a Bitcoin capital strategy,” Tsai Kun Huang, CEO at WiseLink, told Decrypt. Citing “global monetary eas...
Jack Dorsey's fintech Block has released its latest Bitcoin product: a long-lasting mining rig with swappable parts, which will enable miners to cut costs on repairing and replacing the high-powered computing devices. Announcing the product Thursday, Block said the machine, dubbed Proto Rig, will last 10 years instead of the typical three-to-five-year lifespan. Proto Rig's design means that engineers can upgrade individual parts of the machine—like hashboards—without buying a new rig entirely....
The American Bankers Association, the Bank Policy Institute, and over 50 state banking groups are demanding that Congress close "several loopholes" in the recently enacted GENIUS Act, warning that the nation's first major stablecoin legislation contains gaps that could trigger a massive deposit flight and undermine the traditional banking system. In a letter addressed to Senate Banking Committee leaders on Tuesday, the coalition warned that even while the GENIUS Act prohibits stablecoin issuers...
