What Can You Actually Buy With Crypto in 2025?

Published by

In 2025, Crypto isn’t just for traders anymore. 

Bitcoin, Ether, and other digital assets are now being used to pay for everything from coffee and groceries to luxury cars, real estate, and even cryonic preservation. What was once a niche experiment is now part of daily transactions. Mass adoption is here.

Here are some interesting use cases you might not have known!

Buying the Basics: Tap, Swipe, Spend

Thanks to platforms like Flexa and crypto cards from Coinbase, OKX, and WhiteBIT Nova, paying with Bitcoin or Ether is now as simple as tapping a debit card. And it doesn’t require complicated wallet setups. You can get groceries at Whole Foods, a latte at Starbucks, or game gear at GameStop without touching fiat.

Major retail names like Petco, Lowe’s, Chipotle, and Home Depot are also in the mix. Crypto is now recognized as a legitimate payment method. 

Cars, Watches, and Pure Luxury

On the luxury side, crypto is being welcomed in showrooms and high-end stores. Tesla may only accept Dogecoin for now, but Ferrari, Lamborghini, Bentley, and Bugatti dealers are already taking crypto payments.

Luxury retailers like BitDials let buyers shop for Rolex, Cartier, and Patek Philippe with Bitcoin. Franck Muller even launched a diamond-studded watch carrying a QR code from Bitcoin’s first block.

Strange and Futuristic Buys

Here’s where things get truly unusual.

DNA time capsules: Pay in BTC or ETH to store your genetic data or digital memories in secure blockchain vaults, designed to last for generations.

Cryonic preservation: Companies like Alcor accept Bitcoin for freezing bodies or brains until science finds a way to bring them back. 

AI agents: A new trend called agentic payments lets AI systems handle wallets, compare prices, and make crypto payments on their own.

Even cosmetic surgery and biohacking treatments, from botox to stem cell therapy, are starting to take digital assets in crypto-friendly cities like Dubai and Miami.

Property, Tuition, and Even Taxes

Real estate has fully entered the crypto world. Christie’s International Real Estate now has a division dedicated to digital asset purchases, and platforms like Propy handle property deals directly on-chain. Private islands, luxury homes, and thousands of listings are available through crypto-friendly platforms worldwide.

Education and insurance are not far behind. Bentley University accepts Bitcoin, Ether, and USDC for tuition, while Swiss insurer AXA and US-based Universal Fire and Casualty Insurance Co. process payments in digital assets. 

In Utah, even taxes can be paid in Bitcoin. UNICEF, meanwhile, runs a dedicated crypto fund to support global initiatives.

Crypto Spending Is Here

Crypto has gone from speculative asset to spendable money. Groceries, cars, tuition fees, luxury watches, DNA vaults, and even cryonics…the list is long. 

Do you want to buy a pizza or a new island? It’s possible with crypto!
