The Real Estate Market Is Dead in Spain. Long Live Bitcoin.

Spain's real estate market faces severe distress due to a 2% rent ceiling against 4.9% inflation and compulsory lease renewals, while the Bank of Spain reports a deficit of 750,000 homes. Simultaneously, Logan Mohtashami of HousingWire notes that mortgage rates have reached three-year highs. This surge is driven by rising bond yields and Fed hawkishness, causing homebuyers to retreat and shifting investor focus toward Bitcoin as an alternative to traditional real estate and bond markets.
