【Blockchain Rhythm】From USDC to EURC, crypto payments are quietly changing the way European real estate transactions are conducted.

According to reports, hundreds of high-net-worth investors used cryptocurrencies to buy property in Europe last year. Data shows that a certain crypto payment platform has facilitated over 100 such transactions, mainly concentrated in the UK, France, Malta, Cyprus, and Andorra. The transaction amounts typically range from $500,000 to $2.5 million.

Interestingly, clients’ preferences are subtly shifting. Previously, everyone was accustomed to using USDC for cross-border payments, but now the situation is different. To save on conversion fees, more and more people are turning to euro-pegged stablecoins (such as EURC). This change may seem small, but it reflects the market’s genuine demand for cost optimization and more efficient payment experiences.

Behind these numbers, it actually demonstrates the penetration of crypto payments in real-world scenarios—large transactions like real estate have always been the best testing ground for financial innovation.
