Dubai Launches Tokenised Real Estate with Investment from Dh2,000
The Dubai Land Department (DLD) has launched the pilot phase of its new Real Estate Tokenisation Project. This platform allows people to invest in premium Dubai properties for as little as Dh2,000.
This project is the first of its kind in the Middle East. It uses blockchain technology to create digital tokens for real estate assets. These tokens represent shared ownership in properties. That means investors can now co-own real estate without buying an entire unit.
The project is part of the Real Estate Evolution Space (REES) initiative. It is a joint effort between DLD, the Dubai Virtual Assets Regulatory Authority (VARA), and the Dubai Future Foundation (DFF).
The goal is to make real estate investment more accessible, affordable, and transparent. By turning properties into digital tokens, the buying and selling process becomes easier and more secure. It also supports better governance and innovation in Dubai’s property market.
DLD expects this new sector to grow quickly. By 2033, the tokenised real estate market could reach AED 60 billion, which would make up 7% of all property deals in Dubai.
To support this project, DLD recently hosted a workshop with experts from top proptech and tokenisation companies. These discussions will help shape the final version of the platform before its full launch.
This initiative supports Dubai’s long-term digital goals. It aligns with the Dubai Economic Agenda D33 and the Real Estate Strategy 2033, both of which promote smart technologies and future-ready solutions.
Dubai continues to lead in innovation. With real estate tokenisation, it is setting a new standard for property investment in the digital age.
