BTCCSquare news:

Two major U.S. real estate firms, Newrez LLC and Megatel Homes LLC, are integrating cryptocurrencies into their core operations. Newrez, a top-five mortgage lender, will begin considering cryptocurrency holdings in mortgage risk assessments starting February 2026. This MOVE signals growing institutional acceptance of digital assets as legitimate financial instruments.

Megatel Homes received regulatory clearance from the SEC to launch its MegPrime token (MP token), a digital asset designed to facilitate housing payments and reward consumer spending. The token builds upon Megatel's 2019 equity program, now offering "RentForward" rewards that can cover up to 100% of a tenant's previous 12 months of rent when using MP tokens for payments.

Risk warning: Digital asset trading is an emerging industry with bright prospects, but it also comes with huge risks as it is a new market. The risk is especially high in leveraged trading since leverage magnifies profits and amplifies risks at the same time. Please make sure you have a thorough understanding of the industry, the leveraged trading models, and the rules of trading before opening a position. Additionally, we strongly recommend that you identify your risk tolerance and only accept the risks you are willing to take. All trading involves risks, so you must be cautious when entering the market.
