Propy and Milo are partnering to create what they describe as the first fully integrated crypto-native home-buying system in the United States, giving digital asset holders a new way to purchase real estate without selling their crypto.
The partnership brings together Milo’s crypto mortgage services and Propy’s blockchain-based title and closing platform. The companies want to make the whole property buying process smoother, from financing approval to settlement, using a mostly digital workflow.
With this model, buyers can use their bitcoin and ethereum as collateral instead of selling them for cash. This lets investors keep their crypto exposure while still getting property financing.
The companies said financing of up to $25 million will be available through the platform, targeting high-net-worth crypto investors and globally mobile buyers seeking alternatives to traditional banking systems.
The partnership arrives at a time when crypto wealth continues expanding rapidly. According to figures cited by the companies, the global number of crypto millionaires increased roughly 40% over the past year, while digital asset ownership among younger generations continues climbing.
Usually, mortgage providers make borrowers turn crypto into cash before approving a loan, which can cause tax issues and remove future gains. Propy and Milo say their system solves this by letting users stay in the digital asset ecosystem during the whole transaction.
Property deeds processed through the platform will also be recorded on-chain using Propy’s blockchain infrastructure, adding another layer of digital integration to the real estate process.
Milo said its lending framework is designed to withstand sharp market swings, claiming its mortgage structure can tolerate bitcoin declines of up to 65% before intervention measures are triggered. The company also noted it has not issued margin calls across its crypto mortgage portfolio so far.
This project is part of a bigger effort to link decentralized finance with real-world assets, especially in areas like real estate where traditional systems are often slow and require a lot of paperwork.
Supporters see crypto-backed mortgages as a natural step forward for digital finance. Critics, however, still question how these loans would hold up during long crypto downturns or under stricter regulations.
