Have you ever wished you could invest in Dubai’s real estate without needing to buy an entire property or deal with complex paperwork? What if you could own a share of a luxury apartment in Dubai as simply as you buy a stock or cryptocurrency?
Welcome to real estate tokenisation — a revolutionary way to invest in property that’s gaining huge momentum around the world, especially in innovation-led cities like Dubai.
What is real estate tokenisation?
Real estate tokenisation is the process of converting real world assets into virtual assets, or in other words, converting the value of a property into digital tokens on a blockchain. These tokens represent ownership shares of the property and, just like any other tokenised asset, they can be bought or sold.
Think of it as fractional ownership powered by blockchain technology.
Key benefits of real estate tokenisation:
- Accessibility – invest in premium real estate without the need for large capital.
- السيولة – unlike traditional real estate, tokenised assets can be bought and sold on secondary markets instantly and with a few taps.
- Transparency and security – blockchain records every transaction, reducing fraud and increasing trust.
How is Dubai embracing tokenised real estate?
Dubai has long been known for its cutting-edge infrastructure and pro-innovation governance, and it’s now positioning itself as a global leader in real estate tokenisation.
In 2023, Dubai’s Land Department (DLD) and the Virtual Assets Regulatory Authority (VARA) began exploring regulatory frameworks to support digital assets and tokenised property investments.
With over 1,000 blockchain companies now operating in the UAE and the city’s strong emphasis on fintech and digital transformation, Dubai is on its way to becoming a global hub for tokenised real estate.
PRYPCO Mint: MENA’s first real estate tokenisation platform
In a landmark move, PRYPCO introduced PRYPCO Mint — the Middle East and North Africa’s first real estate tokenisation platform — in a strategic partnership with the Dubai Land Department (DLD) and under a licence issued by VARA.
PRYPCO Mint enables investors to buy digital shares of premium Dubai properties, starting from just AED 2,000. It’s designed to simplify real estate investing by combining regulated access, fractional ownership, and blockchain-backed security.
Direct ownership backed by DLD
What sets PRYPCO Mint apart is that investors don’t just get digital tokens — they get real ownership.
With PRYPCO Mint, you actually receive a certificate of ownership in your name, issued by the Dubai Land Department, for your direct ownership of the tokens of a property. This gives you legally recognised ownership, just as if you had purchased a traditional property — but with far more flexibility, lower capital requirements, and no paperwork. You can access your tokens and certificates of ownership through PRYPCO Mint and the Dubai REST App.
With PRYPCO Mint:
- Every property is verified and approved by the DLD.
- Investors receive official DLD certificates of ownership representing their share.
- Investors can earn rental income and benefit from capital appreciation.
- All transactions are transparent, secure and compliant with local regulations.
Please note: PRYPCO Mint is currently only available to Emirates ID holders.
