Privately held Dallas-based homebuilder Megatel Homes LLC said on Thursday it will start issuing a crypto payments and rewards token.<\/p>\n
The announcement came after the Securities and Exchange Commission sent Dallas-based Megatel a \u201cno-action\u201d letter late Thursday, effectively allowing the company to go ahead.<\/p>\n
The \u201cMegPrime\u201d token is Megatel\u2019s first foray into digital assets, said Megatel Chief Executive Officer Zach Ipour.<\/p>\n
Traditional companies are increasingly integrating blockchain technology into mainstream consumer programs. President Donald Trump\u2019s crypto-friendly SEC has also made companies more comfortable venturing into the sector.<\/p>\n
The MegPrime tokens, which the company will start issuing in coming weeks, will be marketed solely as a means of making payments and earning rewards \u2013 and not as investments, the company said. <\/p>\n
Consumers will be able to spend the token with regular merchants via a digital wallet and payment card. In return, they can earn rebates, paid in additional MegPrime tokens, discounted gift cards and points that can be redeemed for housing-related benefits, the company said. <\/p>\n
The token is an extension of the company\u2019s 2019 program that gave renters an amount equal to their past year\u2019s rent for use as equity for a home purchase, Ipour said. <\/p>\n
\u201cSince we have a multi-billion dollar operation building homes and we are involved in financing the homes, we believe we can perfect this model and take it to the next level, merging real estate activity with the benefit of digital currencies,\u201d Ipour told Reuters in a phone interview.<\/p>\n
Token holders have no rights associated with security ownership, such as voting rights or the right to receive profit distributions.<\/p>\n
