The Downtown Miami market is on fire amidst a number of building launches and splashy sales. Now the City of Miami has seen its first crypto sale of the year as Unit 5306 in Marquis Residences has sold for $7.2 million in Ethereum that was transferred to USD Coin, a digital stablecoin that is pegged to the United States dollar, for the transaction. The sale is the second largest in Downtown Miami behind a $7.2 million sale at the nearby One Thousand Museum and the third highest in the Miami area ranking behind a $22.5 million deal at Arte in Surfside, both last year. Madison Roberts and Zach Oppenheim with Oppenheim Realty represented the buyer in the transaction, and Enzo Rosani of Barnes International Realty represented the seller, along with Ricardo Assaf with Unblock Capital, who helped mediate the crypto transfer. Coral Gables Title & Escrow handled the closing. Roberts and Oppenheim also represented the buyer in the One Thousand Museum deal last year.
