Dubai is preparing to conduct Dubai tokenised property transactions using digital currencies by the end of 2025 in a bold step toward the future of real estate. The Dubai Land Department (DLD) has collaborated with the UAE Central Bank and the Dubai Future Foundation to develop a regulatory framework to support this transformative initiative.
Expert Insight: Dubai tokenized property is A Game-Changer for Global Investors
As per Dr Mahmoud Al Burai, Director of Real Estate Policies and Innovation at DLD, “The response has been overwhelming”. Since the launch of the pilot tokenization program in March, six projects have been sold out within minutes as it attracts over 1400 investors from 50 countries. 70% of buyers were first-time. Moreover, the demand has been so high that 20000 investors are currently on a waitlist for the upcoming projects.
Accessible Investment with Low Entry Barrier
The tokenized real estate model is going to provide you with an investment opportunity starting as low as Dh2000. Moreover, anyone can own up to 20% of a property to ensure wider participation. Moreover, registration fees have also been reduced to 2 percent.
Initially, the transaction involved digital currency converted into stablecoins and dirhams. Now, a new stable dirham by the UAE Central Bank will allow you to directly purchase the property through the digital currency by the end of this year.
Early investors will now be able to resell their shares from September 2025. Moreover, non-resident investors will get access to tokenized property markets. PRYPCO Mint, with the other five trading platforms, will support these digital transactions securely.
Regulated, Secure & Inclusive Property Ecosystem
The initiative of the DLD is focused on strong governance, investor privacy, and security. Therefore, it aligns with the ambitions of the UAE to become a global hub for digital finance and blockchain innovation.
Dr Al Burai called this project “the investment model of the century.” Moreover, it is projected that tokenized property could reach $16 billion by the year of 2033. Therefore, it could be 7% of the Dh1 trillion real estate market of this emirate.
What’s Next?
- Phase 1: It is going to focus on ready-to-move and near-completion properties by September.
- Phase 2: This next phase will include off-plan developments. Therefore, this will further expand market accessibility.
Dubai is set to democratize real estate investment on a global scale. Moreover, anyone in the world could soon become a part of the real estate success story of this emirate because innovation and regulation are going to be more efficient.
