Dubai Launches Real Estate Tokenization Pilot Program
Dubai is starting a new way to buy and sell houses using technology called tokenization.
Instead of buying a whole property, people can buy small pieces, like shares, using a platform called Prypco Mint.
The government is helping to oversee this new system, which allows people to invest with a minimum of AED 2,000.
It's only for people with an Emirates ID right now, but will open to international investors later.
This system is expected to grow a lot, potentially making up a large part of the Dubai real estate market, and it will use the UAE currency only, at first.
Dubai initiated a real estate tokenization pilot program on the Prypco Mint platform.
The project is overseen by the Dubai Land Department and the Central Bank of the UAE.
Minimum investment is AED 2,000 to attract more investors.
Transactions will be conducted in UAE Dirhams during the pilot phase.
Tokenized assets could represent up to 7% of Dubai's real estate market by 2033.
