Dubai, UAE – In a significant step toward reshaping property investment, the Dubai Land Department (DLD) has launched a pilot programme enabling UAE residents to invest in fractional ownership of real estate assets through Prypco Mint – a blockchain-powered digital investment platform. The initiative marks a major development in the tokenization of real estate, offering a more accessible, tech-driven pathway for individuals to enter the property market.
This forward-thinking project is being rolled out in partnership with Prypco, with support from key regulatory stakeholders including the UAE Central Bank, Virtual Assets Regulatory Authority (VARA), and Dubai Future Foundation (DFF). Zand Digital Bank is serving as the official banking partner.
Key Features of the Pilot Programme:
Participants will be provided with comprehensive asset-level information, including pricing details, associated risks, and technical documentation to help them make informed investment decisions. The regulatory framework is being co-developed by Prypco and Ctrl Alt Solutions, ensuring the programme remains transparent, secure, and aligned with global standards.
This initiative is part of Dubai’s broader vision to lead the global shift toward real estate tokenization. Authorities estimate that tokenized real estate could account for up to 7% of the local property market—roughly AED 60 billion—by 2033. Future phases are expected to integrate additional platforms and eventually open up participation to international investors.
Dubai’s pilot programme offers a blueprint for countries like Pakistan, where traditional property investment is often limited to affluent individuals or large institutions. Real estate in Pakistan remains one of the most sought-after asset classes, yet it is largely inaccessible to average citizens due to high entry costs, lack of transparency, and limited liquidity.
Adopting a similar fractional ownership model in Pakistan could:
As Dubai leads the way in integrating PropTech with financial innovation, it sets a powerful precedent for emerging economies like Pakistan to consider legal and technological frameworks that allow for secure, regulated, and inclusive real estate investment.
