apan's Open House Group, a major real estate company listed on the Tokyo Stock Exchange, has expanded its cryptocurrency payment options to include XRP, Solana (SOL), and Dogecoin (DOGE). This move brings the total number of supported cryptocurrencies to five, marking a significant step forward in real-world crypto adoption. As Japan's fifth-largest real estate firm by revenue, Open House is now enabling international buyers to purchase properties using crypto through its global portal, "Open House Global." The platform offers multilingual customer support and detailed information on how to make property purchases with cryptocurrencies.

    By including XRP, SOL, and DOGE in its payment options, Open House is setting a new precedent for the use of digital assets in high-value transactions. This bold move could push other large corporations in Japan and globally to explore cryptocurrency payments, further legitimizing digital assets as practical financial tools. As crypto use increases in everyday transactions, this trend may help bridge the gap between traditional finance and decentralized technologies.

    The update was shared by Emi Yoshikawa, a former Ripple executive, who emphasized the significance of this milestone on social platform X. Open House's decision to accept these three top-ten cryptocurrencies by market cap is expected to have a significant impact on the industry.
