224 Investors Purchase Stakes in Dubai's Tokenized Real Estate Ownership Platform ‘Prypto Mint’

The Dubai Land Department (DLD) witnessed a monumental rise in real estate investing upon the introduction of its tokenized real estate investment platform ‘Prypto Mint’. More than 6,000 individuals signed up to join the waitlist, and the sale of the platform’s debut project sold out in under a day; further promoting digital property investment in Dubai.

To highlight, a total of 224 investors across 44 nationalities bought stakes in the project. The promise of fractional property ownership with only a minimum requirement of AED 2,000 ushered in an impressive wave of investor interest in Dubai real estate investment following the platform’s launch.

The pilot platform’s first Dubai tokenized real estate property sale, allowing small investors to invest in Dubai real estate with Dh2000; saw an average individual investment of AED 10,714. Among the 224 investors, 70% were first-time Dubai property investors, affirming that the venture’s successful mission to draw fresh capital has succeeded.

Dubai Issues World’s First Property Token Ownership Certificate

To celebrate the historic milestone of property tokenization in Dubai, the DLD revealed the issuance of the world’s first Property Token Ownership Certificate. This digital certificate is a blockchain-based official document functioning as a Non-Fungible Token (NFT). By issuing this digital document, the DLD confirms the authenticity of the certificate holders’ ownership of the fractional real estate property in Dubai. In other words, it formalizes fractional property ownership in Dubai and acts as a genuine document confirming proof of sale.

With this move, Dubai sparked new innovative real estate opportunities, pushing the boundaries of investing in real estate with the help of the latest technological advancements. According to a DLD spokesperson, they aim to do more than sell digital assets; rather, they aim to open the Dubai property market to the world. Presently, the pilot Dubai Land Department token platform is only open for investors with a valid Emirates ID. Eventually, the Emirate plans to have participation open for the global masses.

Licensed by the Virtual Assets Regulatory Authority (VARA), the Prypco Mint platform is a pioneering innovation run in collaboration with the DLD, Dubai Future Foundation (DFF), the UAE Central Bank, and VARA. The platform’s mission aligns with the vision of the Dubai Economic Agenda D33 and the Dubai Real Estate Strategy 2033.

With the success of the first Prypto Mint sale, Dubai is already on its way to meet the goals of these strategies, to make faster, more transparent real estate transactions and increase accessibility to a global audience.
