A major Japanese company begins to accept DOGE, XRP, and SOL as payment methods
Open House Group, one of Japan's leading real estate companies, has announced the acceptance of Dogecoin (DOGE), Solana (SOL), and XRP as payment methods for property purchases.
This move expands their previous offering, which already included Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH), bringing the total number of cryptocurrencies accepted by the company to five.
Open House Group, the fifth largest real estate company in Japan by revenue, seeks to facilitate international transactions through its global portal "Open House Global." This site not only provides detailed information on how to make payments with cryptocurrencies but also offers multilingual support to cater to foreign clients.
According to Masaaki Arai, president and CEO of the group, this initiative is designed to enhance the real estate purchasing experience in Japan for international clients.
Open House Group's decision could set a precedent for the use of cryptocurrencies in high-value transactions. By accepting DOGE, SOL, and XRP, the company not only expands options for its clients but also contributes to the legitimization of digital assets as practical financial tools. Industry analysts predict that this move could encourage other large companies to adopt cryptocurrency payments, fostering broader integration into conventional commerce.
