hristie's International Real Estate Southern California has launched a cryptocurrency real estate division, marking a significant shift in the luxury market. The new division boasts over $1 billion in listings that accept digital currency, including what is claimed to be the most expensive home ever offered for cryptocurrency.

    "This is the intersection of crypto wealth and tangible luxury," said Aaron Kirman, CEO of Christie's International Real Estate Southern California. "We're not just accepting cryptocurrency; we're creating a new marketplace for digital asset holders seeking to diversify into premier real estate."

    The division launches with three high-profile listings: LA FIN, a $118 million estate developed by Joe Englehoff; The Invisible House, a $17.95 million property in Joshua Tree; and Nightingale, a $63 million Beverly Hills estate designed by Woods Dangaran.

    Kirman, who has overseen over $22 billion in career sales, notes that traditional real estate has been slow to adapt to the crypto revolution. "We're changing this narrative by creating a sophisticated platform that bridges the gap between digital wealth and physical assets."

    The launch comes as interest in digital assets surges, with bitcoin rising 159% in 2024 and the federal government taking steps to normalize crypto in real estate. Deloitte projects the tokenized real estate market will reach $4 trillion by 2035.

    "This isn't just a new service – it's a fundamental shift in how ultra-high-net-worth individuals approach real estate investment," Kirman said. "We've always created the market, not followed it."

    Christie's International Real Estate Southern California employs over 200 agents and specializes in luxury properties throughout the region. The Aaron Kirman Group earned top rankings among small teams in both California and the United States according to RealTrends Verified's 2025 rankings.
