Dubai has entered a new era of real estate investment with the launch of its “Real Estate Tokenisation Project” pilot phase. The first tokenised property saw overwhelming demand, proving the market’s appetite for affordable, blockchain-based property ownership.
Now, UAE residents can invest in Dubai’s booming real estate market with just AED 2,000 through Prypco Mint, a platform backed by the Dubai Land Department (DLD), Virtual Assets Regulatory Authority (VARA), and Zand Bank.
If you’re considering this innovative investment opportunity, here’s everything you need to know—answered in 20 key questions.
1. What is Property Tokenisation?
Tokenisation converts real estate assets into digital tokens on blockchain technology, enabling fractional ownership of high-value properties.
2. Which Platform Can I Use to Invest?
Prypco Mint is the official platform for tokenised property investments, launched in partnership with DLD, VARA, and Zand Bank.
3. What’s the Minimum Investment?
You can start investing with just AED 2,000.
4. Who Can Invest? Are Foreign Investors Eligible?
Only UAE residents (with a valid Emirates ID) aged 18+ can invest. Foreign investors outside the UAE are not currently eligible.
5. How Is Token Value Calculated?
Each square meter of a property is divided into 10,000 tokens. For example:
- A 130 sqm property = 1.3 million tokens
- If the property costs AED 2.6 million, each token is worth AED 2.
6. How Many Tokens Can I Buy?
A single investor can own up to 20% of the total tokens in a property.
7. How Do I Buy Tokens?
Invest via bank transfer or debit/credit card. Cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin are not accepted.
8. Is There a Lock-In Period?
No—investors can sell tokens anytime (no lock-in).
9. What Are the Benefits?
- Low entry cost (from AED 2,000)
- Lower fees vs. traditional real estate
- Monthly rental income + capital appreciation
- Portfolio diversification with fractional ownership
10. Do I Need to Register on Prypco Mint?
Yes—UAE residents must submit documents to register. Currently, Prypco Mint is the only approved platform, but more may launch soon.
11. What Fees Apply?

14. What ROI Can I Expect?
Estimated 8–12% annual return, including rental income and appreciation.
15. Will I Receive Monthly Rental Income?
Yes—if the property is rented. However, if you sell before distribution, you forfeit that month’s income.
16. Who Pays for Major Repairs?
Investors vote (51% majority required) on major expenses like repairs.
17. Is Tokenised Property Investment Safe?
