MAG to tokenise $3bln real estate assets

Zawya05-05-2025
MAG, a leading real estate developer in the UAE, has signed an historic $3 billion tokenization agreement with MultiBank Group, the world's largest financial derivatives institution based in Dubai, and Mavryk, a leading blockchain innovator.
This marks the largest real-world asset (RWA) tokenization initiative globally to date, MAG said.
The initiative highlights the imminent launch of $MBG, the utility token at the core of MultiBank's next-generation digital finance ecosystem.
The partnership will bring MAG's high-value real estate developments — The Ritz-Carlton Residences, Dubai, Creekside, which is part of the Keturah Resort, and Keturah Reserve — onto the blockchain, making them available to global investors via MultiBank.io's fully regulated RWA marketplace. Once launched, holders of the RWA assets will be able to earn yield distributed daily on the MultiBank.io platform.
The $MBG token will power access, staking, fee payments, and platform engagement, positioning it as the infrastructure layer behind institutional-grade digital asset offerings.
As part of the agreement, MAG will provide its premium real estate inventory for tokenization, while Mavryk will deliver the blockchain infrastructure to support on-chain asset issuance and DeFi integrations. MultiBank Group will oversee regulatory compliance, secondary market liquidity, and platform governance — all reinforced by the $MBG token's multi-layered utility.
Talal Moafaq Al Gaddah, Senior Executive Vice Chairman of MAG, said: "At MAG, we have always been driven by excellence and a passion for shaping the property landscape of tomorrow. Partnering with MultiBank Group marks a milestone in broadening access to high-value developments and unlocking liquidity via blockchain, while preserving uncompromising standards of transparency and stakeholder protection."
'This isn't just a real estate deal — it is a flagship use case for the $MBG token. By enabling seamless access to $3B in tokenized property, MultiBank becomes the bridge between regulated finance and next-generation investment infrastructure. This is how we make Web3 real.' said Zak Taher, Founder and CEO of MultiBank.io.
Alex Davis, Founder and CEO of Mavryk, commented: 'This collaboration represents a paradigm shift in how real-world assets are accessed and traded. By leveraging our advanced tokenization and DeFi infrastructure, we are transforming landmark developments into borderless, liquid investment opportunities. Together with MAG and MultiBank Group, we are laying the technological foundation for a transparent, scalable future where institutional-grade assets are available at the click of a button.'
With a buyback-and-burn model tied to platform revenues, and staking rewards designed to incentivise long-term engagement, MultiBank Group provides tangible value for both retail and institutional users. From discounted fees and VIP tiers to launchpad access and real-world asset exposure, the $MBG token is engineered to reward participation and drive ecosystem demand, a statement said.
The initial tokenization of $3 billion is just the beginning and the platform is built to scale up to $10 billion in assets, setting the stage for a new era of programmable ownership and compliant digital investing — with $MBG at its foundation, it added. - TradeArabia News Service

Decentralized data economy to start from the driver's seat

Web3-powered automotive AI ecosystem DTEC is integrating its voice assistant into vehicles, aiming to create a personalized driving experience where users are rewarded with tokens for their data contributions. Modern vehicles are packed with sophisticated technology, yet the way people interact with them often remains impersonal. Voice assistants follow rigid commands, and the connection between driver and machine feels distant. Over a decade ago, this disconnect inspired a simple question within the automotive engineering firm Dizayn VIP: 'Why can't we talk to cars?' That question fueled years of development, evolving into a full-fledged artificial intelligence and Web3 ecosystem called DTEC, which has been in development for 8 years. It's an answer built on a deep understanding of the in-vehicle experience, aiming to create a truly intelligent partner for the driver. A car that knows its driver At it's core, DTEC is an advanced AI assistant, integrated into vehicles on a business-to-business (B2B) basis, that learns and adapts to the driver. The system is designed to understand more than just commands. It performs emotion analysis and recognizes habits to provide a deeply personalized experience that can anticipate the user's needs. This vision of the vehicle as a responsive partner is central to the project's philosophy. 'We've never seen vehicles as just machines — we design them as living entities,' says Erbakan Malkoç, founder of Dizayn VIP and a famous automotive designer and converter. 'DTEC brings that vision to the digital world.' Where all minds meet! 🧠🤝 We turn your voice into the universal language of your devices, uniting your car, your phone, and your world into one intelligent ecosystem. This is more than innovation. This is DTEC. — Dtec Technology Inc. (@Dtec_Technology) June 18, 2025 The assistant supports 22 languages and allows hands-free control of vehicle hardware and connected smart home devices, creating a single voice-operated hub for the user's digital life. Where data contribution holds value To solve the challenge of handling user data, DTEC employs a decentralized physical infrastructure network (DePIN). This model uses blockchain technology to create a transparent and scalable economy around real-world data, allowing drivers and travelers' contributions to be securely verified and rewarded. Instead of user data being harvested without compensation, it becomes a valuable asset that helps prove the AI for the entire network. The DTEC token rewards user contributions with the DePIN infrastructure and can be used for in-app purchases and at affiliated charging stations. The DTEC token also has contracts to ensure its sustainability. A certain percentage of tokens spent on in-app transactions and tokens that are not distributed as incentives are automatically burned. This keeps the total supply balanced over time and aims to maintain its economic value. 🎧 Your DTEC assistant listens. 🧠 It analyzes your driving. 🎁 And yes, it rewards you. 🚗💨 Welcome to the tokenized driving experience. — Dtec Token ($DTEC) (@DtecToken) June 21, 2025 'The automotive industry is becoming more collaborative, decentralized and data-driven thanks to blockchain,' explained Emre İşlek, executive director at DTEC. 'DTEC is building the foundation for that shift.' Building trust on the road DTEC's combination of advanced AI and a Web3 economy is already being integrated into global systems. DTEC, which combines AI and blockchain in the automotive industry, is in talks with global automakers for integration into prototype projects. The platform's versatility is further demonstrated by its integration into the Genesys AppFoundry, a marketplace for customer service solutions that extends DTEC's AI capabilities into the aviation and call center industries. In addition, DTEC has expanded into e-commerce with its AI shopping assistant, which can be used for voice-powered commerce on the Shopify platform after being downloaded. This real-world application is built on a secure foundation, with the entire system having been audited and ranked among the world's top 50 most secure projects by CertiK. Following its token generation event, the DTEC token was listed on exchanges including Bitget, and MEXC. 🔒 DTEC is now ranked #32 on Certik. 🚀 Out of thousands of projects, we've risen. 🤖 Because trust isn't just about code, ⚡ it's powered by AI and secured by blockchain. 🔥 And we're just getting started. — Dtec Token ($DTEC) (@DtecToken) June 7, 2025 The roadmap for the second half of 2025 includes launching pilot projects in logistics, e-commerce and customer service, as well as rolling out a Web3 dashboard for users. The team is also in strategic discussions with major automotive and aviation companies such as Hyundai, Ford Otosan, Togg and Renault Turkiye. Looking further ahead, the company plans a global showcase at CES 2026, where it will debut a new vehicle. By weaving together adaptive voice AI, verifiable contribution tracking and a token economy that rewards the very data traditional platforms quietly harvest, DTEC offers a new template for how humans, machines and blockchains can share value.

VC Roundup: Bitcoin DeFi surges, but tokenization and stablecoins gain steam

The crypto venture capital landscape has made a decisive pivot back to Bitcoin, driven largely by its growing success as an institutional asset. As Cointelegraph reported, the emerging Bitcoin DeFi sector attracted $175 million across 32 VC deals in the first half of the year. At the same time, Bitcoin treasury companies are injecting billions into the market by acquiring BTC for long-term strategic reserves. Beyond Bitcoin, several recurring VC themes remained prominent in July. Investors continued to back startups in tokenization, stablecoin infrastructure and settlement technology. This edition of VC Roundup looks beyond Bitcoin to explore the broader trends shaping crypto venture capital in July. Inveniam partners with Mantra to drive institutional RWA adoption in the UAE and US Decentralized data infrastructure provider Inveniam Capital has invested $20 million in layer-1 blockchain Mantra to bring institutional-grade real-world assets (RWAs) to the blockchain, complete with asset reporting and surveillance. The companies say the partnership could significantly boost total value locked (TVL) on Mantra Chain and promote compliant tokenization at a time when RWA adoption is expanding rapidly. As part of the deal, Inveniam will integrate data sovereignty and asset surveillance capabilities into the Mantra blockchain, enabling more advanced DeFi applications and regulatory-grade transparency. The partnership aims to expand institutional access to RWA ecosystems in both the United States and the United Arab Emirates. Inveniam cited industry research projecting the RWA market could reach a $18.9 trillion valuation within a decade, according to Boston Consulting Group. Other estimates suggest the opportunity could be as high as $30 trillion as more traditional financial institutions enter the space. Tether-focused Stable blockchain raises $28 million to drive USDt adoption Stable, a layer-1 blockchain network built around Tether's USDt, has raised $28 million in a seed funding round to expand its infrastructure and accelerate global USDt adoption. The raise comes amid growing regulatory clarity for dollar-backed stablecoins. The round attracted backing from a range of prominent investors, including Bitfinex, Hack VC, Franklin Templeton, Castle Island Ventures, Susquehanna Crypto, KuCoin Ventures and several angel investors. Billed as a 'stablechain,' Stable is designed to prioritize payment simplicity and instant transactions. The project cited the recent passage of the US GENIUS Act as a key regulatory milestone supporting stablecoin growth, particularly in payments infrastructure. Spiko raises $22 million to expand access to tokenized assets French fintech Spiko, known for offering tokenized US and EU T-Bill Money Market Funds to European investors, has raised $22 million in a Series A funding round led by Index Ventures, with participation from White Star Capital, Blockwall and others. The fresh capital will support Spiko's mission to broaden access to tokenized money markets and help close the gap between Europe and the US in digital asset adoption. To date, Spiko has processed over $900 million in working capital, with assets under management expected to surpass $1 billion by year-end. Stablecoin banking startup closes $12.5 million Series A Dakota, a business banking platform built on stablecoin infrastructure, has raised $12.5 million in a Series A round led by CoinFund, with additional backing from 6th Man Ventures and Triton Ventures. Founded by former Coinbase Custody CEO Ryan Bozarth, Dakota aims to deliver global banking services powered by digital dollars, promising faster payments and more efficient cross-border transactions. The platform has already onboarded over 500 businesses leveraging stablecoin technology behind the scenes. The raise comes as global stablecoin market capitalization hits $268 billion, with expectations for accelerated growth driven by the recently passed GENIUS bill. Breyer Capital leads $5 million Jarsy raise Digital investment platform Jarsy has raised $5 million in a pre-seed funding round led by Breyer Capital, with participation from Mysten Labs, Eigenlayer, MoonPay, Anchorage Digital and other venture capital backers. Jarsy offers retail investors access to pre-IPO private equity markets through tokenized shares, with a low minimum investment starting at just $10. These tokenized equity opportunities are fully backed by real shares held in custody. Users can fund their investments using stablecoins such as USDC. The funding will be used to scale Jarsy's product offering, focusing on enhancing global compliance and expanding its curated selection of private equity opportunities. BridgePort secures $3.2 million in funding to expand settlement network Off-exchange settlement layer BridgePort has raised $3.2 million in seed funding led by Further Ventures, with participation from Virtu, XBTO, Blockchain Founders, Humla Ventures and Fun Fair Ventures. BridgePort provides middleware that connects crypto exchanges, trading firms, and custodians to improve capital allocation and settlement efficiency. The platform is now live on Amazon Web Services and is actively onboarding exchanges and custodians to expand its settlement network. Source:

Tokenized stocks rise 220% in July, reminiscent of ‘early DeFi boom'

Tokenized stocks may be approaching a tipping point as investor demand for blockchain-based financial products surges, potentially accelerating the adoption of traditional assets onchain. Tokenized stocks, which are part of the growing real-world asset (RWA) tokenization sector, reached a $370 million market capitalization by the end of July, according to a Wednesday Binance Research report shared with Cointelegraph. The lion's share, $260 million, was attributed to Exodus Movement (EXOD) shares issued through Securitize. Excluding this figure, the market capitalization of tokenized stocks rose to $53.6 million, marking a 220% monthly increase since June. Tokenized stocks are seeing the same pace of growth reminiscent of the early decentralized finance (DeFi) boom when TVL rose from $1 billion to $100 billion in under two years from 2020 to 2021, the report said, adding: 'Though still small relative to the global equity market (valued at over US$100T), July's explosive growth suggests tokenized equities may be nearing a major inflection point in the broader transition to hybrid finance.' Blockchain addresses holding tokenized stocks surged to over 90,000 in July from 1,600 in June, signaling growing investor demand for tokenized equities. Tokenized stocks may surpass $1.3 trillion by absorbing 1% of global equity market Tokenized equities may present a trillion-dollar market opportunity due to growing investor demand. Tokenized stocks may surpass a $1.3 trillion market cap if just 1% of global equities get tokenized on the blockchain. This would make tokenized stocks worth eight times more than the DeFi market at its peak, according to Binance Research. More tokenized financial products will, in turn, drive demand for more 'sophisticated' DeFi infrastructure, as the two segments are poised to 'reinforce each other and propel blockchain adoption into the mainstream. Over 60 tokenized stocks went live for trading on major exchanges, including Kraken and Bybit and Solana's DeFi ecosystem via Backed Finance's xStocks, focused on popular blue-chip stocks like Amazon, Nvidia, Apple, Tesla and Microsoft, among others, Cointelegraph reported on June 30. Tokenized xStocks promise significant differences compared to their traditional counterparts, including 24/7 trading, freely transferable assets and a lack of commissions on the Kraken exchange. However, the end goal of tokenization is not to simply bring traditional products on the blockchain, but to go beyond Wall Street systems onchain, to unlock new levels of accessibility for investors, Mark Greenberg, the global head of Kraken's Consumer Business Unit, told Cointelegraph. 'Tokenized equities can't just be 'Wall Street on a blockchain.' That misses the point,' Greenberg said. He added that equities must 'feel like the internet,' which is always on, self-directed and globally accessible. Source:
