Key Features of the New Initiative

• Tokenization of Real Estate: Properties will be represented as digital tokens on a blockchain, enabling fractional ownership and making real estate investment more accessible to a broader audience.
• Use of Digital Currencies: Investors will be able to conduct property transactions using cryptocurrencies, streamlining cross-border payments and reducing reliance on traditional banking systems.
• Enhanced Security and Transparency: Blockchain technology ensures that all transactions are securely recorded and easily auditable, minimizing fraud and increasing trust among buyers and sellers.
• Regulatory Compliance: The Dubai Land Department will oversee the regulatory framework, ensuring that all digital transactions comply with existing legal standards.

How Crypto Transactions Work in Real Estate

Crypto transactions in real estate typically involve the following steps:

1. Wallet Setup: Investors create a digital wallet to hold and transfer cryptocurrencies.
2. Verification: Identity verification (KYC) is conducted to comply with regulations and prevent illicit activities.
3. Smart Contracts: Purchase agreements are executed via smart contracts—self-executing programs that automatically transfer ownership once payment is confirmed.
4. Settlement: Funds are transferred instantly, and property tokens are delivered to the buyer’s wallet.
5. Custody and Storage: Digital assets are securely stored, with options for digital custody solutions provided by platforms like Crypto.com.

This process eliminates intermediaries, reduces transaction times, and can lower costs compared to traditional methods.

The partnership supports Dubai’s Real Estate Strategy 2033, which aims for a Dh1 trillion transaction volume by creating a fully digital, investor-friendly property market. The initiative also aligns with the government’s recent move to accept digital currencies for government fee payments, further integrating crypto into everyday transactions1.
