TLDR

  • The Dubai government has officially launched a tokenized real estate platform.
  • It will use XRP’s blockchain tech.
  • Investors can buy in for as little as $550-ish. However, right now the platform is limited.

Dubai Land Department (DLD) has launched the region’s first tokenized real estate investment platform, Prypco Mint. This new initiative enables fractional ownership of properties in Dubai, allowing investors to purchase shares starting from just AED 2,000 (approximately $540). 

The platform is part of a broader government-backed strategy expected to digitize $16 billion worth of real estate assets by 2033. 

The move, backed by blockchain tech, marks another step forward in Dubai’s vision to position itself as a leader in real estate innovation, offering investors globally an accessible and transparent window into Dubai’s booming property market. 

What is Prypco Mint? The Details.

Prypco Mint is a real estate fintech platform designed to tokenize property ownership in Dubai. Dividing property ownership into digital tokens stored on the XRP Ledger blockchain will allow Prypco Mint investors to own small fractions of premium Dubai properties. 

The platform currently supports AED transactions only and restricts initial access to United Arab Emirates (UAE) ID holders. However, expansion plans include opening the platform to international markets and integrating additional functionality in future phases. 

The platform also provides a high degree of transparency. Through integration with DLD’s existing systems, it will perfectly align blockchain data with traditional government property ledgers. Investors can access proof of ownership via the platform or the Dubai REST app. 

The Role of Blockchain in Real Estate 

Believe it or not, RWAs aren’t a new idea. In fact, stablecoins are the OG RWA. But the ability to tokenize tangible assets has been around for several years. But with all of the regulatory hype in the media and constant lawsuits from regulatory bodies, most investors were too scared to touch it. And for good reason. But now, things are changing.

The infrastructure supporting tokenized real estate in Dubai is powered by Ctrl Alt Solutions, which utilizes the XRP Ledger blockchain. The setup secures property title deeds on the blockchain, keeping them synchronized with government records. 

The system offers multiple benefits for the real estate market, including: 

  • Fractional ownership – Lowering the entry cost for investors.
  • Enhanced transaction speed and efficiency – Especially compared to traditional methods.
  • Transparency – Public ledgers mean secure blockchain records are viewable by all stakeholders.
  • Reduced barriers to entry – Anyone can get in on the action.

Addressing these traditional real estate challenges head-on, Prypco Mint paves the way for a more inclusive investment ecosystem while maintaining Dubai’s rigorous regulatory standards. 

Key Features of the Initiative 

The platform, developed in collaboration with Dubai Land Department, offers several standout features designed to drive its adoption. These include: 

  • Low entry cost for investors, starting at AED 2,000.
  • Regulatory oversight provided by the UAE Central Bank, Dubai’s Virtual Assets Regulatory Authority (VARA), and the Dubai Future Foundation.
  • Projected 8–12% net annual returns based on rental incomes and property appreciation forecasts.
  • A simplified marketplace for buying and selling tokens, enabling investors to easily enter and exit positions as desired.
  • Full integration of blockchain-backed transparency, reducing risks related to property mismanagement or fraud.

Projected Impact on the Real Estate Market 

According to projections, tokenized real estate is expected to account for 7% of Dubai’s property market by 2033, translating to AED 60 billion (approximately USD 16 billion). Prypco Mint opens Dubai’s real estate market to diverse investors by offering fractional ownership, catering to both first-timers and seasoned professionals. 

Additionally, the platform’s integration with Dubai’s regulatory frameworks, such as VARA and DLD’s Real Estate Sandbox, provides further assurance to investors. The initial pilot phase has already begun, exclusively targeting UAE-based investors, with broader global access expected in future stages. 

Dubai’s move aligns with its broader ambitions to integrate advanced technologies, such as blockchain, into traditional sectors, ultimately solidifying its position as a global innovation hub. 

Early Access Highlights 

During the pilot phase, there are a few restrictions:

  • Only individuals with valid Emirates IDs can participate.
  • Transactions are limited to AED, with no use of cryptocurrencies yet.

Investments start as low as AED 2,000, making real estate more accessible while providing a secure, blockchain-backed investment mechanism. Future versions of the platform may add cryptocurrency support and welcome global investors. 

We Expect to See More RWA Releases in the Near Future

The tokenized real estate initiative in Dubai represents a major leap forward in democratizing property investment. Leveraging blockchain technology and creating accessible investment opportunities will disrupt traditional real estate models, establishing a more inclusive market. 

For globally minded investors, this pilot phase could be a preview of how blockchain might shape the future of property investment — not just in Dubai, but everywhere. 

We’ll be keeping a close eye on this one to see how it pans out.
