La Haus, a startup that wants to bring U.S. tech-enabled real estate services to the Latin American real estate market, announced it would start accepting bitcoin as payment for homes through a collaboration with bitcoin payments processor OpenNode. La Haus is once again pioneering the use of technology to transform Latam housing markets, plugging into the open monetary network and accepting Bitcoin via a fully integrated digital process. OpenNode will enable the prop-tech market leader in Mexico and Colombia to accept BTC both on-chain and on the Lightning Network to facilitate real estate sales digitally.
Not only can Bitcoin help transacting parties in Latin America to exchange value restlessly and instantly without relying on the cumbersome and expensive traditional payment rails, but the immutable digital monetary network also serves as a preventer of fraud. Real estate purchases are another perfect use case for Bitcoin, a global payment network designed to optimize the transfer of value.
