Texas Homebuilder Megatel Wins SEC Approval for Crypto Rewards Token

Published at 2026-01-15 23:30:08

Megatel Homes LLC announced on January 15, 2026 that the SEC has cleared its proposal to issue a cryptocurrency-based payments and rewards token for use in customer incentives and transactions. The privately held Texas homebuilder said the token will be deployed to support payments, loyalty rewards and promotional offers, though specifics on tokenomics, launch timing and distribution have not been released.

The approval is notable because it signals a mainstream real-estate company moving forward with a regulated digital-asset program, potentially setting a template for other builders and property firms. Observers say the development underscores growing demand for on-chain customer engagement while highlighting the importance of compliance, disclosures and custody arrangements as companies integrate token-based rewards into traditional businesses.
