The Open House Group, a leading real estate company listed on the Tokyo Stock Exchange, has announced that it now accepts XRP, Solana, and Dogecoin for payments.
Open House, which added cryptocurrency payments to its accepted payment options in January this year, said it is expanding the offering to include three more crypto tokens.
As well as XRP (XRP), Open House customers can now use Solana (SOL) and Dogecoin (DOGE) to handle real estate payments with the firm.
With crypto adoption on the rise across the world amid regulatory clarity, Open House says demand for crypto transactions is huge. Given its integrated approach across the real estate space, the publicly-listed company sees crypto as a pillar of future growth.
XRP, SOL and DOGE now join Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH) as accepted payment options for services and goods covering Open House Group’s suite of products — from property acquisition to design, construction and sales to management.
“This expansion ensures our global clients with greater flexibility in their investment process, subject to compliance with their country’s regulations,” Open House wrote.

Open House ranks among top real estate firms in Japan, and boasts over ¥1 trillion, about $6.7 billion, in annual sales. While it only began accepting BTC and ETH in January 2025, it has championed crypto and blockchain integration for a few years now.
The company started to explore the potential application of crypto and blockchain technology in business in 2022. Open House’s involvement within the industry includes its sponsorship of a research initiative on Bitcoin’s Lightning Network.
Notably, Yokiko Nishimura, who heads the firm’s crypto initiative, has helped bring crypto solutions to local financial institutions and crypto exchanges since 2015.
Earlier this year, Japan’s Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba weighed in on the issue of crypto adoption, noting that digital assets and web3 are important to the country’s development and innovation.
A positive approach to crypto has seen the Japanese Cabinet approve the Payment Services Act, which is set to provide regulatory guidelines for stablecoins and crypto brokerages in Japan.
