Open House Group, a major real estate company listed on the Tokyo Stock Exchange, has expanded its crypto payment options by accepting XRP, Solana (SOL), and Dogecoin (DOGE). Previously, the company only accepted Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH). With this move, the total number of supported cryptocurrencies rises to five, marking a major step forward in real-world crypto adoption.
Open House is Japan’s fifth-largest real estate firm by revenue and is now enabling international buyers to purchase properties using crypto via its global portal, "Open House Global." The platform also offers multilingual customer support and detailed information on how to make property purchases with cryptocurrencies, further easing the buying process for overseas clients.
The update was shared by Emi Yoshikawa, former Ripple executive, who emphasized the significance of this milestone on social platform X. By including XRP, SOL, and DOGE—three of the top ten cryptocurrencies by market cap—Open House is setting a new precedent for the use of digital assets in high-value transactions.
XRP currently ranks as the fourth-largest cryptocurrency with a market cap of $138.42 billion and trades at $2.38. Solana follows at sixth with $66.1 billion and a price of $130, while Dogecoin ranks eighth, with a $24.9 billion market cap and trades at $0.168.
This bold move by Open House could push other large corporations in Japan and globally to explore cryptocurrency payments, further legitimizing digital assets as practical, real-world financial tools. As crypto use in everyday transactions increases, this trend could help bridge the gap between traditional finance and decentralized technologies.
