Dubai Launches Dh2K Real Estate Investment via Tokenisation
Dubai has taken a major leap forward in property innovation with the launch of Prypco Mint—a new platform that allows individuals to invest in real estate starting from just Dh2,000. Backed by the Dubai Land Department (DLD) and licensed by the Virtual Assets Regulatory Authority (VARA), this initiative introduces fractional, blockchain-based property ownership to the region.
First Tokenised Property Fully Funded in 24 Hours
The debut listing—a two-bedroom apartment in Damac Prive Tower, Business Bay—was valued at Dh2.4 million and fully funded within a single day. A total of 224 investors from over 40 countries participated, contributing an average of Dh10,714 each.
Following this success, over 6,000 people have joined the waitlist for upcoming listings, confirming the overwhelming demand for fractional property ownership.
How Tokenisation Works in Dubai
Tokenisation divides a physical property into multiple digital tokens, each representing fractional ownership. Recorded on a secure blockchain, these tokens can be bought, sold, or transferred easily. Investors receive rental income and capital appreciation in proportion to their holdings, without needing to buy an entire unit.
Prypco Mint, supported by Zand Bank, is the first platform of its kind in the MENA region.
Strategic Support Boosts Legitimacy
The collaboration with DLD and licensing by VARA enhances the platform’s regulatory credibility. DLD also issued the world’s first Property Token Ownership Certificate, formalising shared ownership and fostering investor trust.
Affordable Entry Attracts New Investors
By lowering the entry point to just Dh2,000, Prypco Mint opens up Dubai’s property market to first-time and younger investors.
“Tokenised real estate lets people invest without needing large sums or taking on debt,” said Amira Sajwani, CEO of Prypco and Managing Director at Damac Properties. “You can start small and grow your position over time.”
Currently, the platform is open only to UAE residents, but expansion to international investors is on the horizon.
High Demand Driven by Indian Investors
Prypco Mint’s website attracted 3.6 million visits on launch day. Contributions ranged from Dh2,000 to Dh250,000, showcasing strong interest across income levels. Indian investors led the participation, followed by UAE nationals and other global residents.
Smart Pricing Strategy Encourages Adoption
To generate early traction, the Damac Prive unit was offered at Dh2.4 million, below its market value of Dh3 million. This strategic discount gave investors instant equity and an attractive rental yield.
“We wanted to show real value from day one,” said Sajwani. “Our focus is on building long-term trust, not hype.”
Competitive Returns With Low Commitment
Dubai real estate typically offers rental yields of 5–7%. Token holders will earn income proportionally, making it possible for even Dh2,000 investors to enjoy passive income, just like full property owners.
Plans to Onboard Multiple Developers
Although the first listing featured a Damac unit, Prypco Mint welcomes properties from other developers, provided they offer strong investment potential.
“We’re still in the pilot phase and want to ensure everything functions smoothly before scaling,” Sajwani added.
Off-Plan Listings May Be Introduced
Sajwani hinted at the possibility of tokenising off-plan (under-construction) units in the future, pending government approvals. This could significantly expand investment opportunities on the platform.
Investor Education and Security Are Priorities
Prypco is rolling out investor guides, webinars, and FAQs to educate users on tokenisation. Each token is tied to a smart contract, automating ownership and income distribution while minimizing fraud and human error.
Under VARA’s regulation and with DLD’s endorsement, Prypco Mint ensures legal compliance and investor safety.
A Tech-Driven Boost to Dubai’s Property Sector
Dubai’s property market already offers attractive returns and global appeal. With tokenisation, the city is making real estate more accessible, aligning with its vision to become a leading global tech and finance hub.
The Future of Property Investment Starts Here
Prypco Mint has redefined how people invest in real estate. Its accessible pricing, full regulatory backing, and strong initial response signal a shift toward more inclusive, tech-powered property ownership.
UAE residents can now own a share of Dubai real estate from just Dh2,000—a revolutionary change that could set a global precedent.
