Asia's leading digital asset platform, Zipmex, hits a new milestone with its latest partnership with One.Six Development Company Limited for the purchase of real estate via crypto.
Through ZipSpend, Zipmex's latest program, home buyers can now purchase properties using BTC, ETH, USDT and ZMT as it continues to merge businesses towards a cashless society as the world continues to embrace cryptocurrency as preferred option in payment.
One.Six Development was co-founded in 2017 by a next-generation of real-estate developers, Tanyatip Chearavanont and Chawin Athakravisunthorn. The company's flagship project, a joint venture with the world-class Magnolia Quality Development Corporation Limited (MQDC) features a mixed-use residential experience in the Thonglor area, targeting urbanites with the need for luxury, convenience, and a sense of community at the front of Thonglor road.
"I started the company with Tanya with the aim of setting a new benchmark in Thailand's property industry. Our flagship, The Strand Thonglor, is the epitome of world-class development standards coupled with a strong lifestyle element for our discerning customers, who appreciate understated luxury and functional design. My prior career overseeing all aspects of JP Morgan's investment banking business made me realize that we need to capture the rising tides of cryptocurrency adoption. We are excited to enter this partnership with Zipmex -- accepting cryptocurrency is just the start. We are already making plans to launch NFTs on their new platform as well as exploring a real-estate backed token (ICO) for our future projects targeting investors throughout Asia Pacific." stated Chawin Athakravisunthorn, Managing Director of One.Six Development.
"At Zipmex, we believe that everyday is a new day, a new way of thinking, and a new start. Not only are we the preferred platform for newcomers to the digital assets industry, but it is our priority to help people invest and trade wisely with the goal to increase their wealth and pursue their dreams. This announcement is more than just about the ability to buy a condominium or a car with crypto -- it's allowing people to actually be able to afford those things. With our ZipUp and ZipLock products, we have people on our platform that are getting bonuses on a daily basis (up to 16% APY), which means they're able to pay off their mortgages to buy their dream homes/car. For a company that entered the Thai market less than 10 months ago, I think we've definitely brought in many innovative financial products and services to all our investors," adds Proud Limpongpan, Chief Strategy Officer of Zipmex Asia.
"We are a real estate development company that focuses on quality over quantity. We believe that every project we develop must become an appreciating asset- in line with our motto "Building Consciously". This is done with a focus on long-lasting quality of construction, timeless design, unbeatable locations, and exclusive number of units. Zipmex is a great partner for us as we both have similar visions and focus on high-quality customer service, and strategic partnerships with the arts. Additionally, our overlap of customer profiles is a major reason why we wanted to partner with them. At the end of the day, we want to provide the best services to our customers " states Tanyatip Chearavanont, CEO of One.Six Development
Akalarp Yimwilai, CEO and Co-Founder of Zipmex Thailand, added that "It is no doubt that digital assets have now become a lot more mainstream than they were a year ago. Currently, you can pay your deposits with crypto but you can't pay your closing costs with gold. It's going to have to be converted, it's going to have to be a while more before regulation changes and allows the final transfer of ownership without a traditional bank paper trial."
Zipmex has been at the forefront of integrating the realm of crypto payment into the everyday lifestyle, proving itself to be more than just another crypto-exchange. The company boasts 50x increase in assets under management and 250x revenue increase in the past six months. With 3800 M baht in all-time high daily transactions over the Songkran period, and a strong database of mass to premium customers, the incredible growth story has brought in numerous inbounds from partners all around the region. In addition, Zipmex and One.Six Development marches the beginning of their partnership activities with Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR). Both companies address the importance of giving back to the society, especially in such a difficult time during the COVID-19 situation, by donating essential items including COVID-19 test kits, face masks, alcohol gel and cooking ingredients to the Human Settlement Foundation (HSF).
