Digital real estate platform Roofstock announced on Friday the successful sale of a rental property in Alabama through a non-fungible token (NFT) enabled by Roofstock onChain (ROC), its Web3 subsidiary.
What Happened: The transaction was settled via an NFT marketplace on the Ethereum ETH/USD blockchain built by Origin Protocol.
Teller Protocol, a Decentralized Finance (DeFi) lending platform, provided flexible asset-based lending options for the real estate transaction.
The company said it is the second sale of a rental property via NFT enabled by Roofstock onChain.

The entire transaction, from financing to title ownership, takes place peer-to-peer on the Ethereum blockchain.
Buyers can also seek financing for the NFT property purchase through USDC USDC/USD Homes, a DeFi lending marketplace built on the Teller Protocol.
