Cryptocurrency Baron Bought  Canada’s Biggest Condo

A cryptocurrency baron Anthony Di Iorio said in an email that he purchased   the largest and one of the most expensive condos in Canada which is a three-story penthouse for $28 million (US$21 million) at the St. Regis Residences Toronto, the former Trump International Hotel & Tower in the center business district. The apartment is 16,178 square feet (1,502 square metres) and contains a wrap-around veranda staring the city’s horizon at the angle of Bay and Adelaide Streets.

The hotel belongs to InnVest Hotels LP and is managed by Marriott International Inc. as the Adelaide Hotel Toronto, and will be rebranded the St. Regis as soon as the reconstruction is finished. Accommodations in the building are possessed by JCF Capital ULC.

Di Iorio entered into the cryptocurrency mania  as a co-founder of Ethereum. He was dynamic in Toronto’s early blockchain society and was on the original group that joined Ethereum, currently the innovative option to the Bitcoin platform. Ether, the currency that runs on Ethereum, at present has a market value of around US$50 billion in comparison with Bitcoin’s US$115 billion. Di Iorio nowadays runs Decentral, an “innovation hub’ in Toronto fixed on blockchain programs. It’s the developer of the famous cryptocurrency wallet Jaxx.

The crypto creator has not lined out the installation yet but is planned to involve area for events that allocate Canadian tech and innovation.

Di Iorio could have purchased Canada’s largest condo, but it’s not the most expensive one. Persuant to Toronto Life periodical publication, Peter Gilgan, billionaire and chief executive officer of Mattamy Homes Ltd. lives in a Four Seasons penthouse in the city that was bought for $31 million. And a condo once sold for $40 million in Vancouver.
