UAE Regulator Cautions on Misrepresentation of Dubai’s Real Estate Tokenization Initiative
The Dubai Land Department (DLD) and Dubai Virtual Assets Regulatory Authority (VARA) have issued warnings against false claims surrounding their joint real estate tokenization project. Launched in April 2025, the initiative links the emirate’s property registry to blockchain-based fractional ownership, targeting broader market access for small investors.
The pilot phase, focused on tokenizing property title deeds, represents Dubai’s latest push to merge traditional assets with digital infrastructure. No specific cryptocurrencies or exchanges are directly involved in the government-led project, despite the sector’s growing interest in asset tokenization.
