Dubai has made a significant stride in real estate innovation by introducing the world's first Property Token Ownership Certificate. This development follows the successful sale of the inaugural tokenised real estate project on the 'Prypco Mint' platform, licensed by the Virtual Assets Regulatory Authority (VARA), which sold out within a day of its launch .

The initial project attracted 224 investors from 44 nationalities, with 70% being first-time entrants into Dubai's real estate market. The average individual investment was AED 10,714 (approximately $2,917), highlighting the platform's appeal to a diverse and global investor base. The initiative has garnered substantial interest, with over 6,000 individuals currently on the waitlist .

Developed by the Dubai Land Department in collaboration with VARA, the Central Bank of the UAE, and the Dubai Future Foundation through the Real Estate Sandbox, this initiative aligns with the Dubai Real Estate Strategy 2033 and the Dubai Economic Agenda D33. It aims to broaden the real estate investor base, enhance transparency, and accelerate transaction processes.

The introduction of tokenised property ownership is set to revolutionise the real estate sector by simplifying investment processes and making property ownership more accessible to a wider audience. This move reinforces Dubai's position as a global leader in embracing innovative technologies within the real estate industry.
