Invest in Dubai Properties Starting at $500

From Just 2,000 Dirhams – New Tokenized Real Estate Opportunities Coming

Dubai's real estate market has entered a new era with the launch of the Prypco Mint platform, allowing anyone to own premium properties for as little as 2,000 dirhams. This is the first real estate tokenization platform in the MENA region, launched in collaboration with the Dubai Land Department (DLD) and the Virtual Assets Regulatory Authority (Vara), with Zand Bank as the strategic banking partner.

What Does Real Estate Tokenization Mean in Dubai?

Tokenization allows property ownership to be converted into blockchain-based tokens, enabling investors to participate with fractional ownership, without needing to purchase entire properties. The first project was a two-bedroom apartment in Damac Prive Tower at Business Bay, fully funded within just a day. 224 investors from over 40 countries took part, with an average investment of 10,714 dirhams.

Why Is It So Popular?

The first listed property was tokenized below market value at 2.4 million dirhams, while its actual worth is approximately 3 million dirhams. This instant value increase and the high rental yield of 5-7% were strong attractions for investors. Tokenization also opens up opportunities for those with smaller capital interested in benefiting from the growth of Dubai's real estate market without taking loans.

Who Are the Most Active Investors?

In the pilot phase, currently open only to UAE residents, Indian citizens led the investment rankings, followed by UAE nationals. Upon platform launch, the interest was enormous: the website registered over 3.6 million visits in a single day, with more than 6,000 waiting for the next property listing.

What Returns Can Be Expected?

The promised returns are on par with traditional real estate investments: depending on location and potential for growth, an annual rental yield of 5-7% is expected. Investors co-own the property with others and receive proportional profits.

What Can Be Expected in the Future?

Currently, tokenization of off-plan projects is still awaiting government approvals, with the platform currently open only to UAE residents. However, plans are in place for international investors to join soon, opening up even greater growth opportunities. Prypco Mint is open to collaborations with developers beyond just Damac projects.

Summary

The real estate tokenization launched by Prypco Mint represents a breakthrough in Dubai's property market, democratizing access to premium properties. Even with a smaller investment, individuals can benefit from the city's rental yields and property appreciation without the hassle of traditional property purchases. This model may transform how we think about real estate investments in one of the world's most dynamic markets in the future.
