“Forsyth Real Estate, a Sydney-based property broker, will accept property deposits and payments from sellers in virtual currency Bitcoin to lure business from Chinese home buyers. The broker is Australia’s first property agency to accept Bitcoin, the most popular digital currency, to respond to an influx of foreign investors and expatriates seeking property in the nation’s most populous city, according to its website. Chinese buyers overtook their U.S. counterparts to become the biggest real estate investors in Australia in the year ended June 30, plowing A$5.9 billion ($5.5 billion) into residential and commercial property, according to the nation’s Foreign Investment Review Board.”
