Ananda Partners with Bitkub: The First in Thailand's Real Estate Sector

Now You Can Buy and Sell Homes and Condominiums Near BTS Using Cryptocurrency! !! A Solution for Urban Living in the Digital Age

 

Ananda Development Public Company Limited, or ANAN, a leader in urban residential development, holds a dominant position in the condominium market near BTS. Committed to developing housing that perfectly meets the needs of urban dwellers, the company has announced a partnership with Bitkub, a leading digital asset company and provider of blockchain and cryptocurrency technology, which is currently the most liquid digital asset trading business in the country. This collaboration enables Ananda to offer cryptocurrency payment options for all its housing and condominium projects, making it the first in Thailand's real estate sector to do so, allowing customers to pay easily, confidently, and securely at every step. 

 

Mr. Chanont Ruangkritya, CEO and Managing Director of Ananda Development Public Company Limited, stated that the company recognizes the global shift towards a technology-driven society and has partnered with Bitkub to develop a payment channel that utilizes digital assets (Cryptocurrency) for purchasing homes and condominiums near BTS. Customers can use cryptocurrency to pay instead of cash for all Ananda projects through Bitkub Wallet, enhancing convenience for customers in terms of payment. This initiative provides special privileges to Ananda's customer base and allows access to clients interested in cryptocurrency transactions, marking another step for Thailand's real estate sector towards adapting to a society driven by innovation and technology.

The projects participating in this initiative include all homes and condominiums near BTS developed by Ananda under quality brands such as Ashton, Ideo Q, Ideo Mobi, Ideo, Elio, Unio, Artel, Ari, Aetole, Unio Town, and Urbanio.

Currently, the cryptocurrency market is gaining increasing attention due to its rapidly growing market value, especially this year, with the value of Bitcoin (BTC) reaching over 2,000,000 THB per coin. This indicates a shift in investment strategies for the digital age, as the acceptance of digital currencies promotes a cashless lifestyle, allowing people to pay for homes and condominiums from Ananda using cryptocurrency. Ananda accepts three globally recognized cryptocurrencies: Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), and Tether USD (USDT). This collaboration enhances opportunities for buying and selling homes and condominiums through digital asset payments, with four simple steps:

1. Prepare your Bitkub Wallet or sign up for a Bitkub Wallet and verify your identity (KYC). If you do not have a Bitkub Wallet, you can register here: https://www.bitkub.com/signup

2. Ensure you have the cryptocurrency ready in your Wallet for payment.

3. Transfer the cryptocurrency for payment using the QR CODE provided by the staff to the Ananda Wallet.

4. Wait to receive the payment confirmation document.

Mr. Jirayus Sapsrisopa, CEO of Bitkub Capital Group Holdings Co., Ltd., stated that this collaboration represents a significant step in the digital asset and real estate sectors in Thailand. As cryptocurrency has gained popularity and attention since Bitcoin reached a peak price of 1 million THB earlier this year, many have shown interest in trading in the market. Reports indicate that there are now over 1 million users on the Bitkub platform, with daily trading volumes exceeding 10 billion THB, demonstrating that the general public is increasingly recognizing the importance of cryptocurrency as both an investment option and a means of daily transactions, such as paying for various goods. The convenience and speed of cryptocurrency transfers, which can be done simply by scanning a QR Code with a mobile phone, represent another advancement in financial innovation that enhances convenience for people.

Mr. Attakrit Chimphalapiboon, CEO of Bitkub Online Co., Ltd., added that in addition to the convenience of transferring cryptocurrency, which allows for large value transfers quickly and at low fees, there are still concerns from sellers or service providers regarding price volatility and accounting. The company has continuously discussed with partners like Ananda to develop solutions that maximize efficiency and satisfaction for both buyers and sellers. Additionally, Bitkub has sent teams to train and demonstrate the application usage, as well as provide basic knowledge about digital currencies to help Ananda communicate and educate customers more effectively.

This collaboration aligns with Ananda's vision of adapting by integrating innovation and technology to drive business operations alongside strengthening marketing strategies. By expanding payment options through digital asset exchanges via the Bitkub platform and increasing payment flexibility to accommodate diverse lifestyles for buying and selling homes and condominiums near BTS with Ananda, it aims to facilitate current customers while also expanding the customer base.

 

“Today, new technologies play an increasingly significant role in people's lives. Ananda is committed to continuously selecting the best technologies to provide customers with the most suitable solutions for urban living. We are confident that accepting cryptocurrency payments through Bitkub as the payment platform will ensure confidence, convenience, and maximum satisfaction for our customers both now and in the future,” Mr. Chanont concluded.
