An unidentified Venezuelan National bought property in the country’s coastal state of Anzoategi last month with USDT, a stable coin issued by tether. The citizen bought the property with a stable coin because of how simple the transactions were, according to Carlos Grau, manager of Grau Real Estate, a company that helped sell it. Grau told Criptonoticias that the deal was completed immediately, greatly improving how these sales are usually carried out using traditional financial instruments.
Grau:
Such a transaction takes eight to ten days, because you need to send a letter informing you that the money will be received. The transaction was instant while using Cryptocurrency, only two phones were needed to close the transaction. There is no risk of fraud or fraud.
