"I see a world very soon where 50% of all real estate transactions are done with crypto, and where contracts are registered on the blockchain and 'signed' as NFTs (non-fungible tokens)," noted Serhant. "Our agents are currently working on many crypto wallet-to-wallet transactions now, both in NYC and Florida - a trend you will read a lot about in 2022 as wealthy crypto holders seek to diversify into real estate."
