New initiative aims to revolutionize property investment using blockchain and digital currencies.
Dubai is once again taking a bold step into the future by teaming up with Crypto.com to build a next-generation platform for virtual real estate transactions. This groundbreaking collaboration, announced on July 6, 2025, is set to introduce a fully digital and secure environment for buying, selling, and investing in tokenised property assets.
Supporting Dubai’s Vision for 2033
The partnership supports the Dubai Real Estate Strategy 2033, which aims to generate AED 1 trillion in real estate transactions. By integrating blockchain and digital assets, the initiative will make real estate investment more accessible, transparent, and efficient for both local and international investors.
What’s Coming
Through this deal, the Dubai Land Department and Crypto.com will jointly explore how blockchain and digital currencies can streamline real estate processes. Key elements include secure investor identification, digital asset custody, seamless settlements, and property tokenisation — a model that transforms physical real estate into tradable digital tokens.
"This is a foundational move toward a smarter, tech-driven property market," said representatives at the event. It also reflects Dubai’s broader ambition to incorporate digital currencies into government systems — a shift already underway with recent policies allowing crypto payments for public services.
Roles and Responsibilities
Crypto.com will bring its technical expertise and digital infrastructure to the table, while the Dubai Land Department will oversee regulatory alignment and guide pilot programs under current legal standards.
Global Impact
This alliance positions Dubai as a global leader in digital real estate innovation. By lowering barriers to entry and leveraging the power of blockchain, the initiative could attract a new wave of global investors seeking smarter, more flexible ways to access the property market in one of the world’s fastest-growing urban hubs.
