Invest in Dubai Property for Dh2,000 via New Tokenised Platform Launch

  • May 26, 2025 - 4 min read

Dubai-based investors now have the opportunity to purchase tokenised shares in real estate projects starting at just Dh2,000, following the official pilot launch by the Dubai Land Department (DLD).

According to DLD, all transactions during this trial phase must be conducted in UAE dirhams, and cryptocurrencies will not be accepted at this stage. The platform currently caters exclusively to individuals holding a valid Emirates ID, with future phases set to welcome international participants.

Strategic Rollout with Future Expansion Plans

“The platform has global aspirations and will be gradually rolled out to wider audiences through additional integrations,” the DLD confirmed.

The initiative is being rolled out under the Real Estate Sandbox framework and is a joint effort involving Prypco Mint platform, the Virtual Assets Regulatory Authority (Vara), the UAE Central Bank, and the Dubai Future Foundation (DFF). Zand Digital Bank has been selected as the official banking partner for this initial stage.

A collaboration agreement between DLD, Prypco, and Ctrl Alt Solutions is focused on attracting niche asset tokenisation firms, while also ensuring that investor protections are firmly in place. Currently, Prypco and Ctrl Alt are the two authorised firms involved, though plans are in motion to bring additional qualified players into the ecosystem.

Digital Asset Conversion to Streamline Property Investment

Launched earlier this year, the initiative is centered on converting physical real estate assets into digital tokens registered on blockchain. This innovative approach is designed to simplify property transactions, whether for buying, selling, or investing.

Through fractional ownership, investors can acquire shares in a property according to their financial strategy and available budget. This removes the traditional barrier of full property ownership and opens the market to a broader investor base.

Projections suggest that Dubai’s tokenised property segment could reach a market value of Dh60 billion ($16.33 billion) by 2033, representing 7% of all real estate transactions in the emirate.

Access to Property Information and Investment Transparency

Interested investors can access detailed property data, including pricing, associated risks, and investment thresholds, via the mint.prypco.com digital platform.

The initiative is regulated jointly by DLD, responsible for the physical real estate market, and Vara, overseeing digital assets. This dual governance ensures the implementation of a secure and transparent framework.

During the pilot phase, the UAE Central Bank (CBUAE) will oversee the operation of Client Money Accounts (CMAs), which act as custodial accounts where investor funds are held until the property purchase is finalized. This safeguard mechanism ensures funds are only transferred after successful completion of the transaction.

Ensuring Fairness and Legal Ownership

The pilot program is restricted to completed properties, and only tokenisation firms licensed by Vara are authorised to operate. Before any property is listed, DLD performs a comprehensive review to ensure fair market pricing.

“In addition to potential returns from rental income, investors will also benefit from any capital appreciation linked to the property. Ownership shares will be legally registered through DLD, offering a secure and transparent investment alternative that eliminates traditional real estate management burdens,” the department stated.

Dubai’s Real Estate Sector Shows Robust Performance

This new development comes amid strong performance in Dubai’s property market, driven by government-led initiatives such as long-term residency options, including the golden visa program, and a thriving, diversified economy.

In 2024, real estate transactions in Dubai hit Dh761 billion, reflecting a 20% year-on-year increase, while the total number of deals rose by 36% to 226,000, according to the Dubai Media Office.

Additionally, the emirate set a new record in the ultra-luxury housing market, with 435 residential properties sold at over $10 million each, totaling $7 billion in high-end transactions, as reported by consultancy Knight Frank.
