Nikki Greenberg, the founder of consultancy Real Estate of the Future, has written in the report that Miami has seen a boom in millionaires from an explosion in cryptocurrency-related riches.
“Crypto-friendly Miami has attracted cryptocurrency businesses and has also seen a spate of technology and real estate headquarters opening,” Greenberg wrote in the report. “Miami is expected to rebound despite a slump in 2022 due to factors that have traditionally made it a preferred location for buyers, such as its relaxed lifestyle and warm climate.”
