Huobi Partners With UAE Real Estate Firm, Enabling Crypto Payments

The major crypto exchange Huobi partners with UAE real estate firm in the United Arab Emirates mainly to allow real estate investors to pay in cryptocurrencies. As the Huobi news now show, the Singapore-based exchange has entered the partnership with fam Properties, a tech-driven real estate agency that is based in Dubai.

As seen from the announcement shared by the UAE business publication AMEinfo.com, the main goal is to offer crypto payment options for its real estate investors. Specifically, the update will enable fam Properties to accept payment in cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin (BTC), Ether (ETH), XRP as well as other major cryptocurrencies including stablecoins.

While Huobi partners with the UAE real estate firm, the officials note that this partnership is mainly oriented in simplify investing in the country. Also, analysts in the cryptocurrency news say that the move will provide the market with more value, according to the CEO Feras Al Msaddi. He said:

“This partnership will provide our clients immense opportunity and the ease of investing in prime locations in the UAE. Cryptocurrencies are becoming an increasingly popular payment method all over the world, and this added choice will increase our property transactions and bring more value to the real estate market here.”

There is still an update expected by the firm and its plans when it comes to tackling the volatility linked to crypto markets. What’s certain is that Huobi is legally compliant and licensed by Dubai Multi Commodities Centre (DMCC), an infrastructure provider for expanding commodities trading in the country.

“If someone wants to buy property and use crypto as a payment currency, then we will help facilitate that transaction and sell their cryptocurrency and make the payment to fäm in fiat currency,” said Mohit Davar, the co-founder of Huobi’s over-the-counter (OTC) trading tesk at DMCC.

Davar continued, stating that the firm will provide fam Properties with liquidity and resources to facilitate virtual money payments for customers. According to reports, Huobi’s OTC desk supports fiat currencies such as UAE dirhams, United States dollars, British pounds and Euros.

Meanwhile, there has been a boom in the real estate market in UAE and more people are now embracing emerging technologies like blockchain and associated digital assets.
