Currently countries such as Brazil, Canada, Uk, Germany, south Korea, India have introduced Automated Teller Machines (ATM) for Digital currency so as facilitate banking technology. In Nigeria the patronage and acceptance of digital currencies is gaining wide popularity. The owners do not require the central bank; nor any physical bank.

Currently bitcoin is considered the best among all other crypto-currency, the bitcoin is adjudged the pacesetter. Mining is another type of cryptocurrency.
Therefore, in Benin, Nigeria where the research was carried out, the activities that was conducted is to appraise of Digital Currencies for Real Estate Development and Finance.
