American best-selling author, businessman, and investor chooses Propy’s onchain real estate platform to list Golden Beach, Florida, house.
MIAMI, July 2, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Propy, a technology company revolutionizing real estate via blockchain and AI, today announced that high-profile American entrepreneur Grant Cardone has listed a Golden Beach, Florida, private property for sale on Propy’s blockchain-based real estate platform with an asking price of $42,000,000 accepting cryptocurrency.

The home is listed on the Propy marketplace with the deed minted onchain.

Leveraging the immutability of the blockchain, Propy ensures that buyer and seller private information is secure throughout the transaction. Automating and bringing the entire process online and onchain enables closing on a property to be faster, easier, and more secure than the outdated, traditional real estate transaction model.
