Housers, the Spanish real estate investment platform, surveyed the market and studied the possibility of financing some of its projects through virtual currency.
An option that will not be a reality in the short term, but that the company analyzes for the future to be prepared in the event that the opportunity to launch an ICO (Initial Coin Offering) is presented.
It is a financing format that fits very well with the philosophy of Housers. The ICOs are basically rounds of financing or crowdfunding. Those who participate in them receive 'tokens'. These 'tokens' give preferential benefits from the project in question, although they can also grant economic participations when it sees the light and starts to be profitable.
Other Spanish projects, such as the Spaniards Luis Cuende and Jorge Izquierdo, baptized as Aragon, have obtained a financing of 25 million dollars in cryptocurrency.
The company has merely stated that "we will not launch any cryptocurrency or carry out any ICO issue.”
However, sources close to Housers recognize the interest on the part of the company. "It's not something that they have in mind right now, but they're getting informed, they want to know how this market works, they want to have as much information as possible to use the format when the opportunity arises."
Housers has a cumulative total investment of more than 40 million euros and 75,000 registered users since its beginning of operations in February 2016. In total, it has distributed 4.5 million euros of benefits.
