TechCrunch founder Michael Arrington’s Kiev apartment that made history in 2017 as a blockchain sale, now to be sold as an NFT
Propy, the real estate transaction platform, will auction a real estate-backed NFT a modern apartment in Kiev, Ukraine that previously made history as the first-ever blockchain-based real estate sale.
Arrington’s Kiev apartment will be put on the block for public auction to be won by one lucky bidder, who will make history once again. The NFT, which transfers real ownership of the property, will be auctioned over a 24-hour period, with the initial listing starting at an affordable $20,000. Details of the NFT sale are available here and will be routinely updated to include previews of the property, FAQ, an auction countdown clock and terms.
In 2017, this real estate property was sold entirely using blockchain technology to Michael Arrington, founder of tech news site TechCrunch and Arrington XRP Capital. The international transaction took place entirely via smart contract on the Ethereum blockchain using cryptocurrency, becoming the first-ever to be sold and transferred on blockchain.
Propy, backed by famed blockchain investor Tim Draper, has since helped thousands of American agents and homebuyers to make offers and complete over $1 billion worth of transactions via an easy-to-use and secure online platform.
Natalia Karayaneva, CEO of Propy, said,
“This NFT will go down in history. For Propy, it is a major milestone in leveraging the promise of blockchain technology and non-fungible tokens (NFT) to achieve self-driving real estate transactions. Real estate as an asset class will become a part of the decentralized finance economy.”
