Real cases

Implemented Market Examples

Dubai Land Department × Prypco Mint
Dubai’s Land Department launched Prypco Mint, the first government-backed platform for tokenized real estate in the Middle East. From as little as AED 2,000, local investors could buy into properties, with full backing from regulators and banking partners. The pilot even issued the world’s first Property Token Ownership Certificate, proving how blockchain can integrate directly with Dubai’s land registry.
DAMAC × MANTRA
In 2025, real-estate giant DAMAC Group teamed up with MANTRA on a US$1 billion program to tokenize properties across the Middle East. Launching on MANTRA Chain, the initiative signals a major step from single pilots toward programmatic tokenization at scale.
MAG × MultiBank Group × Mavryk
Luxury developer MAG announced a US$3 billion partnership with MultiBank Group and Mavryk. The program covers flagship projects like The Ritz-Carlton Residences, Dubai Creekside and Keturah Reserve, bringing high-end real estate into a regulated digital marketplace. It’s one of the largest RWA tokenization initiatives announced to date in the region.
