MAG to tokenise $3bn real estate assets
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.

Region joins push for safe tech
TDT | Manama As governments worldwide grapple with the governance of emerging technologies, Gulf countries including Bahrain are aligning themselves with a broader international push for responsible innovation, ethical artificial intelligence, and stronger tech regulation. The Governance of Emerging Technologies Summit (GETS 2025), which concluded yesterday in Abu Dhabi, brought together over 1,000 participants from more than 20 countries. Organised under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Mansour bin Zayed Al Nahyan, the summit saw ministers, regulators, academics, and industry leaders converge to outline a strategic global framework for governing AI, quantum computing, Web3, and synthetic realities. Shared Gulf Priorities For the GCC, the summit served as a critical platform to align national strategies on education, public health, industrial innovation, and cyber defence with global standards. Ministers and technologists stressed the importance of embedding AI into national curricula, establishing ethical guidelines, and building inclusive institutions that can keep pace with rapid technological change. From classroom reforms in the UAE to Bahrain's growing investments in digital public services and AI start-ups, the region is working to build resilient frameworks that balance progress with protection. Sector Focus Sessions ranged from AI in healthcare and smart manufacturing to digital content rights and quantum regulation. Speakers from the UAE Space Agency, ADIB, Honeywell, M-PESA, and global firms like PwC and Binance joined discussions on securing data, addressing cross-border cyber threats, and preparing for decentralised finance systems. The summit also spotlighted the role of youth councils from multiple emirates, signalling a GCC-wide effort to bring younger generations into policymaking on tech. Global Consensus Building GETS featured strong calls from INTERPOL, the UN Office on Drugs and Crime, and major consulting firms for international collaboration. A joint roadmap from TRENDS Research & Advisory and ASPIRE proposed accelerating global policy coordination and institutional readiness. For Bahrain and its Gulf neighbours, the summit underscored the need to collaborate on harmonised regulation, ethical standards, and public-private partnerships to govern emerging technologies. As the global tech landscape evolves, the GCC's active role in shaping cross-border governance frameworks could determine how innovation unfolds across the region in the decade ahead.
