Doubt it and I’ll give you instances; Matt Damon does TV ads for crypto, Jimmy Fallon and Paris Hilton have gabbed about their NFTs on The Tonight Show (and perhaps conveniently boosted the price of their investments), Gwyneth Paltrow and Reese Witherspoon are part of an all-women group chat about it, and Hilton named her dogs Crypto and Ether.
And now, there’s a new member of the crypto family, one of the stars of the Netflix reality show Selling Sunset is getting into the game. Yup, Christine Quinn, the breakout star and sassy villain of the show, is going all-in on crypto. But the company she’s founded isn’t an ugly NFT or shitcoin pump-and-dump scam.
Quinn’s company is Real Open. Quinn co-founded Real Open with her husband Christian Dumontet. Real Open makes it easier for crypto whales to buy a house with their dogecoin through a mix of old-fashioned real estate brokering and technology. The new company was launched this month and has exclusive listings across the country, including in LA, New York, and Miami.
Christine Quinn — On What Influenced Her To Startup Crypto
Quinn revealed to BuzzFeed News how she got the idea for Real Open. Quinn said she got the idea while she was still working at the Oppenheim Group, she said. “Buyers and sellers were coming to me and saying, ‘Hey, I have crypto, can you streamline this?’.”

Quinn recalled asking the co-owner of the brokerage Jason Oppenheim, about helping clients with crypto but Jason he wasn’t interested. But there was also plenty of drama going on in the background.
“I was surrounded by people who weren’t forward thinkers,” Quinn said about Jason’s reluctance to enter the crypto space. “I had to make a really tough decision. I had to go out on my own because I knew this was going to be really huge.”
Christine Quinn — Quinn Reveals She Has Left The Oppenheim Group
In an interview with BuzzFeed News, Quinn confirmed that she has left the O Group, but it’s to focus on bringing crypto to real estate, not because of the plentiful office drama.
Over a Zoom interview, Quinn joked about how the early bitcoin exchange Mt. Gox was from “the wizard game,” referring to Magic: the Gathering. She had gone through a phase of being interested in NFTs, but “you can’t live in an NFT,” Quinn said.

Quinn assured fans of “Selling Sunset” that although she quit the Oppenheim Group, she isn’t quitting the show, and will appear on Season 6 — she’s just no longer promoting her old boss. “It’ll be an interesting new season!” she told BuzzFeed News.
“It’s so nice to be in an environment where I’m in control of the people I’m working with, and there’s no noise in the background,” Quinn said. “Everyone who calls me, they’re enthused about crypto — it’s such a great thing to have people so excited.”
