Amid Dubai's tokenization push, Serenity and MTA Real Estate partner
Dubai, UAE: Serenity, a blockchain technology company specializing in secure digital finance solutions, has signed a partnership with MTA Real Estate to develop a secure, blockchain-powered real estate investment portal targeting global crypto holders. The move follows the Dubai Land Department's approval of a pilot program for tokenized property transactions, positioning the initiative within the city's broader strategy to attract regulated digital asset flows.
The initiative arrives amid growing momentum for real estate tokenization in the UAE. With growing institutional interest and clear regulatory support for blockchain-based asset infrastructure, the Dubai Land Department expects the market value for tokenized real estate to exceed $16 billion by 2033.
The portal, to be rolled out in phases, will allow qualified crypto users to explore select Dubai real estate listings, complete biometric-based KYC, and execute regulated crypto-to-property purchases through smart contracts. Also crypto buyers who purchase properties using this portal will be eligible for exclusive discounts, which brings in a valid commercial value proposition. Serenity and MTA's expertise hand-in-hand brings to market a full-technology stack serving as a blockchain window into property sourcing, transaction facilitation, and compliance with local real-estate regulations.
'This partnership allows us to extend blockchain's utility into tangible 'real-world services',' said Robert Boris Mofrad, Co-founder and Chief Product Officer of Serenity. 'Dubai is already setting the pace on real estate tokenization - our goal is to operationalize that vision with compliant infrastructure that bridges Web3 and real-world ownership.'
Venket Naga, CEO of Serenity commented: 'This agreement brings our 'real-world services' vision closer to reality,' said Venket Naga, Co-Founder and CEO of Serenity. 'It's about turning blockchain infrastructure into sustained, revenue-generating use cases - not just for Serenity, but for the entire Web3 ecosystem engaging with real-world assets.'
The platform's KYC layer, built on Serenity's decentralized identity protocol, will be integrated with the company's sAxess biometric card, the world's first fingerprint-authenticated blockchain multi function cold wallet card. Payments will be conducted through licensed intermediaries or accepted directly by developers that support crypto transactions. Off-plan purchases will be protected under the Dubai Land Department's escrow framework, ensuring milestone-based fund releases and buyer safeguards.
At MTA Real Estate, we specialize in unlocking high-growth opportunities in Dubai's real estate market - one of the most secure and lucrative in the world,' said Mohamed Taher Ali, Founder & CEO of MTA Real Estate. 'This collaboration empowers crypto investors to diversify their portfolios with stable, income-generating assets backed by full regulatory transparency. Our goal is simple: bridge the gap between digital wealth and real-world property ownership through innovation, speed, and trust.
Serenity's roadmap for the portal includes smart contracts for automated rent distribution, on-chain storage of ownership records with survivability and inheritance mechanisms, and future integration of DeFi-based mortgage tools.
The partnership represents the first in a series of planned deployments under Serenity's Real World Services (RWS) strategy, aimed at enabling compliant, real-economy use cases for crypto users.

Big Tech Eyes Stablecoins to Streamline Global Payments
Major technology companies are exploring stablecoin integration to reduce transaction fees and enhance global payment efficiency, signaling a potential shift in the digital payments landscape. Apple is reportedly in discussions with Circle, the issuer of the USDC stablecoin, to explore potential integration of stablecoin payments into its ecosystem. This move could enable seamless, tap-to-pay transactions using USDC on Apple devices, leveraging the company's recent decision to open its NFC technology to third-party developers. Such integration would allow users to conduct transactions without relying on traditional banking intermediaries, potentially reducing costs and increasing transaction speed. Airbnb is collaborating with Worldpay to explore stablecoin payouts, aiming to mitigate the high fees associated with Visa and Mastercard transactions. By integrating stablecoin payments, Airbnb seeks to offer a more cost-effective and efficient payment solution for its global user base. Worldpay's partnership with stablecoin infrastructure startup BVNK further supports this initiative, enabling businesses to make payouts using stablecoins without the need to handle digital assets directly. ADVERTISEMENT X, formerly known as Twitter, is developing its payments platform, X Money, which is set to launch later this year. The platform will feature Visa as its first partner, enabling secure and instant funding to users' X Wallets via Visa Direct. X Money has obtained money transmitter licenses in 41 US states and is banking with Citibank, with agreements with Stripe and Adyen. The integration of stablecoin payments into X Money could offer users a seamless and efficient payment experience, aligning with Elon Musk's vision of transforming X into an 'everything app.' Google Cloud has already taken steps toward stablecoin integration by supporting PayPal's PYUSD on its Web3 Faucet. This initiative allows developers to access testnet PYUSD on Ethereum and Solana, facilitating the development and testing of applications that utilize stablecoin payments. By providing these tools, Google Cloud aims to support the growth of Web3 applications and the broader adoption of stablecoins in digital commerce.

Dubai virtual asset watchdog VARA grants licence to tokenisation platform Ctrl Alt
Ctrl Alt, a tokenisation infrastructure platform, as of today, has secured its licence from Dubai's Virtual Assets Regulatory Authority (VARA) to function as a Virtual Assets Service Provider (VASP). Ctrl Alt is the first VASP allowed to conduct issuer-related services, marking a significant step in Ctrl Alt's global expansion and underlines its dedication to wielding robust regulatory frameworks. Ctrl Alt was given a VARA licence that permits the company to administer licensed activities that include Broker-Dealer services and Issuer services.

This license allows Ctrl Alt to conduct a full-stack, regulatory-compliant platform for the design, control and distribution of tokenised real-world assets and ARVA tokens. The latest example of this is Ctrl Alt's partnership with the Dubai Land Department (DLD) on their Real Estate Tokenisation Project, where Ctrl Alt formed the structure to mint and place real estate tokens on-chain. Dubai has established itself as a global leader in innovation and digital assets, particularly in the field of tokenisation. Backed by progressive regulatory frameworks and a forward-thinking strategic vision, the emirate has solidified its reputation as a hub for digital and financial innovation. Since its launch in 2022, the Virtual Assets Regulatory Authority (VARA) has played a crucial role in driving the growth of Dubai's digital economy. This supportive environment was a major factor in Ctrl Alt's decision to set up operations in the region in 2024. 'We are proud to receive our VARA licence and establish fully regulated operations in the UAE. This achievement reflects our commitment to long-term regulatory alignment as we power the infrastructure for the next generation of financial products,' Matt Ong, Founder and CEO at Ctrl Alt said in a statement. 'Securing our VARA licence marks a pivotal moment not just for Ctrl Alt, but for the broader digital asset ecosystem in the region. Dubai's progressive regulatory environment provides a strong foundation for innovation in tokenisation and we're proud to contribute to that vision by delivering secure, compliant tokenisation infrastructure for real-world asset issuance,' Robert Farquhar, Head of MENA at Ctrl Alt, added. This approval means Ctrl Alt becomes part of a developing ecosystem of licensed VASPs in one of the world's most innovative and ambitious regulatory environments for Web3 and digital asset innovation.
