By 2025, cryptocurrencies can be used to purchase almost anything, including high-value and unconventional items.
Cryopreservation, DNA storage, and advanced biohacking treatments are now available globally for payment in cryptocurrency.
From real estate transactions to tuition bills, an increasing number of institutions are beginning to accept cryptocurrency payments.
Autonomous AI agents can make cryptocurrency payments, while tokenized horse racing and NFT-related animals combine digital and physical ownership.
Cryptocurrency is no longer limited to trading and investment. Its applications have expanded to cover nearly all categories of goods, including luxury items and unconventional products such as private islands, racehorses, luxury retreats, and even biohacking implants. In fact, as cryptocurrency becomes more widely accepted, more buyers are converting digital assets into rare and high-value physical properties. This guide will outline some of the most surprising and intriguing items that can be purchased with cryptocurrency by 2025.
Users can utilize cryptocurrency to preserve their DNA or digital legacy for future generations. Some services allow users to pay with Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), or other cryptocurrencies to securely store genomes or personal memories in biobanks or decentralized digital vaults.
Most of these platforms use blockchain technology to ensure ownership records are immutable and provide a timed release mechanism. Therefore, whether decades or centuries later, the data will only be accessed at designated time points.
Some services combine blockchain security with cryptocurrency payments to create cryptocurrency-funded time capsules, offering users a new way to connect with future generations through digital assets.
By the second half of 2025, the capabilities of autonomous AI agents will continue to improve. These agents can now autonomously complete cryptocurrency payments without human intervention—this is the concept of "agent payments."
Aeon's AI payment system is one example, where agents can learn user behavior, compare prices, place orders, and complete cryptocurrency transactions across various websites, QR codes, and even NFC retail scenarios.
These systems typically support blockchains such as BNB Chain and Solana (SOL). Meanwhile, infrastructure companies, including Mastercard, are building secure tokenization layers that allow AI agents to operate under user-defined permissions, transparency, and regulatory frameworks.
All these advancements contribute to an increasingly evident trend—AI, blockchain, and smart contracts collaboratively drive digital commerce to be faster, more automated, and more trustworthy.
For example, pizza chains in the U.S. and Europe accept cryptocurrency through platforms like BitPay. Users can pay for dinner with BTC, ETH, or stablecoins.
Cryonics refers to the preservation of a human body (or just the brain) at extremely low temperatures after legal death, with the goal of curing currently fatal diseases, injuries, or aging through future scientific advancements and achieving revival.
According to companies like the Alcor Life Extension Foundation, this service is available and accepts Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies as payment.
For such cutting-edge cryonics services, using cryptocurrency for payment is very fitting. Both attract those who trust technology over traditional systems. For users planning to utilize cryonics services, paying with cryptocurrency aligns better with their technological preferences.
Today, purchasing luxury cars with cryptocurrency has become a reality. Ferrari accepts cryptocurrency payments for its luxury models in the U.S. and the EU. Some Lamborghini dealers also support purchasing cars with digital currency.
According to Post Oak Motor Cars in Houston, the company accepts cryptocurrency for purchasing high-end models like Bentley and Bugatti through BitPay. Ferris Cars in South Africa also accepts cryptocurrency payments.
Other dealers supporting cryptocurrency payments include Exclusive Automotive Group (authorized Aston Martin and Bentley dealer) in Washington, D.C., Infiniti in San Jose, California, and Puente Hills Mitsubishi in Industry.
Most dealers collaborate with services like BitPay or CoinPayments, allowing them to instantly convert cryptocurrency into fiat currency, avoiding delays and price volatility risks. However, some dealers may also support wallet-to-wallet transfers.
Notably, Bentley University in Massachusetts, USA, now accepts Bitcoin, Ethereum, and USDC for tuition payments through a partnership with Coinbase.
Cryptocurrency is gradually entering stables and animal sanctuaries. Platforms like Hoofborn now allow users to purchase shares in real racehorses using cryptocurrency through blockchain technology. Users can become part owners of racehorses rather than just participating in betting.
At the same time, binding real animals to NFTs has become a new trend. The trend of animal NFTization is rising, linking real animals such as exotic pets, endangered species, or livestock with NFTs.
These tokens can not only fund conservation efforts but also raise public awareness or represent animal care rights. For example, NFT holders can support wildlife sanctuaries or gain behind-the-scenes animal interaction opportunities.
Some beauty clinics have begun accepting cryptocurrency payments for liposuction, Botox, and hair transplant surgeries. A facility in Beverly Hills, a surgeon in Miami, and a clinic in Atlanta have recently joined the ranks of cryptocurrency payment acceptance.
Additionally, biohacking is gradually becoming mainstream, including peptide therapy, NAD+ (Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide) injections, exosome, and stem cell therapies. Clinics in places like Dubai are leading in this field, and Dubai's cryptocurrency-friendly policies have created a favorable environment for cryptocurrency payments.
Globally, biohacking clinics are receiving increasing attention. In Dubai and other regions, advanced and non-invasive NAD+ injections, peptide therapies, stem cell, and exosome treatment centers are gradually becoming popular.
Benefiting from Dubai's friendly regulatory environment for cryptocurrencies, some of these institutions have begun accepting cryptocurrency payments.
By 2025, purchasing real estate with cryptocurrency has become more common. In Los Angeles, Christie's International Real Estate has established a cryptocurrency department responsible for purchasing properties with digital assets (such as BTC, ETH).
According to Christie's, the company has completed several luxury home transactions in Southern California. Platforms like Crypto Real Estate and RealOpen allow users to browse properties, including private islands, and purchase them directly with cryptocurrency. These platforms list thousands of properties worldwide that support cryptocurrency transactions.
If local laws prohibit direct cryptocurrency purchases for real estate, platforms can integrate with concierge services to convert cryptocurrency into fiat currency to complete transactions.
At the same time, platforms like Propy utilize blockchain and artificial intelligence to manage blockchain escrow services and property titles. Their goal is to simplify the cryptocurrency-based real estate transaction process.
Companies like Ledn and Salt Lending offer cryptocurrency mortgages for homebuyers using Bitcoin as collateral.
Notably, the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) accepts Bitcoin and Ethereum donations through its cryptocurrency fund, transparently funding global projects.
According to online retailers like CW Sellors in the UK, the company accepts various cryptocurrencies, including BTC, ETH, and USDC, for purchasing luxury watches and jewelry.
According to Ace Jewelers, the company also supports unlimited cryptocurrency payments for high-end watches and accessories in its European stores. Crypto Emporium offers a wide collection of renowned brands like Rolex, Patek Philippe, and Audemars Piguet for global collectors, all available for purchase with Bitcoin and other digital currencies.
Additionally, mainstream payment service providers like BitPay provide cryptocurrency payment services for numerous jewelry and watch dealers worldwide.
The use cases mentioned above are just the tip of the iceberg. For instance, countries like El Salvador and some U.S. states like Utah have already accepted Bitcoin for tax payments. Similarly, some universities in Switzerland and the U.S. are currently testing cryptocurrency tuition payments.
In summary, while cryptocurrency may never completely replace traditional currency, it is clearly becoming a part of how people consume, invest, and interact with services globally.
