Ctrl Alt and Dubai Land Department Go Live with Tokenized Real Estate, Forecasts $16B Market by 2033
DUBAI, UAE, May 25, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Leading tokenization infrastructure platform, Ctrl Alt has been announced as the tokenization partner for Dubai Land Department's (DLD) pioneering Real Estate Tokenization Project. Launched today, the initiative in collaboration with the Virtual Assets Regulatory Authority (VARA), the Dubai Future Foundation and PRYPCO, marks a monumental step for asset tokenization and the future of property investment in the Emirate.
As the designated tokenization provider for the project, Ctrl Alt brings deep expertise in financial engineering and digital asset infrastructure. The DLD and Ctrl Alt have worked closely together on the development of a secure and compliant tokenization framework, focusing on structuring, minting and placing real estate title deed tokens on-chain. The XRP Ledger (XRPL), a decentralized layer 1 blockchain renowned for its decade-long reliability and stability in tokenizing and exchanging digital and real-world assets, has been selected as the blockchain of choice for the project. Additionally, Ctrl Alt has integrated directly with the DLD to synchronize both digital and traditional real estate ledgers, ensuring coordination between the on-chain and the conventional property registration system. This enables a fully integrated and transparent tokenization process that aligns with local regulations and enhances investor confidence.
The project has been developed under the Real Estate Evolution Space Initiative (REES) and marks the first time in the Middle East that a government real estate registration authority has implemented a public blockchain-based tokenization of property title deeds. With this move, the DLD is leading the charge toward a more accessible, transparent and efficient real estate market, enabling fractional ownership, broadening investor participation and enhancing operational efficiency.
By leveraging native tokenization, ownership of real estate has been fractionalized, allowing multiple investors to co-own a single property. This is achieved through the PRYPCO Mint real estate platform, which is now live and allows investors to participate with a starting minimum investment of AED 2,000. EID holders are able to participate at mint.prypco.com.
The initiative is projected to contribute to the growth of an AED 60 billion ($16 billion) tokenized real estate market by 2033, equivalent to 7% of Dubai's total property transactions.
Matt Ong, CEO and Founder, Ctrl Alt said, 'We've been working closely with the DLD on this project for some time, and we're delighted to be taking this major step together to bring real estate investment to a wider audience. As experts in the space, we are proud to create the tokenization infrastructure that enables DLD's partners to offer fractional real estate to investors. Dubai's leadership in embracing next-generation financial technologies is truly world-class and this project is a powerful signal of what's to come. We're thrilled to launch this pilot and continue building with DLD in the months ahead.'
This strategic initiative aligns with the objectives of Dubai's Real Estate Sector Strategy 2033 and the broader Dubai Economic Agenda (D33), both of which prioritize the adoption of digital solutions to boost economic competitiveness, attract global investment and modernize key sectors.

Probing Alternative Solutions To Affordable Housing Crisis
Modular affordable housing project at 833 Bryant St. seen being built on Tuesday, June 30, 2020, in ... More San Francisco, Calif. (Photo By Liz Hafalia/The San Francisco Chronicle via Getty Images) The crisis impacting housing affordability stands among the most pervasive and complicated challenges facing the nation. In virtually every part of the country, housing costs have outstripped incomes. That's left huge swaths of the population either rent burdened or entirely removed from homeownership. The crisis is most acute in the nation's largest cities, but smaller cities, towns and rural areas are not immune. 'This isn't just a question of economics,' says Jonathan Curtis, founder and CEO of Chicago, Ill.-based real estate development firm Cedar Street Partners. 'When people can't afford stable housing, everything else becomes more difficult: Finding and keeping a job, accessing healthcare, caring for children and building generational wealth. Housing underpins opportunity, and right now, the foundation is cracking.' Without coordinated action, more thoughtful policy and fresh ways of thinking about planning, financing and developing housing options, the yawning gulf between Americans with access to housing affordability and those without will widen, he says. The frameworks created years ago for developing housing were designed to preserve neighborhood character or keep growth in check and no longer work, Curtis says. They didn't account for the economic realities of climate change and population pressure. To really address the challenges, Curtis believes state governments will need to take the lead in enacting laws with teeth to tackle urban policies that throw up obstacles in the form of 'inconsistent standards, exclusionary zoning, inflated impact fees and a planning process that drags through layer after layer of political review,' he says. What he calls 'clear fixes' exist: Mandating certitude of fees and timetables, forcing cities to shoulder the burden of proof when turning thumbs down on compliant projects and dictating cities losing in court cases post large appeal bonds. Modular construction can also play a role, trimming the time required to deliver affordable housing, making the process more predictable and reining in supply chain volatility. Curtis knows the challenges and possible solutions first hand. 'We spent years trying to advance a modest mixed-use housing project in La Canada Flintridge, one that meets local needs, respects the community and complies with state law,' he says. 'Even so, we faced resistance rooted in outdated land-use patterns and reluctance to accept change. Ultimately, we, the California Attorney General and two housing organizations took legal action to move the project forward. The ruling was watched closely through California. It underscored the need to modernize how cities think about growth, especially in high-opportunity areas where exclusionary practices still hold sway.' The solutions to the affordability challenge must evolve, because the crisis itself continues to evolve. So says Matt Forssman, managing partner with GMF Group, a Palm Beach, Fla. firm with a strategic emphasis on manufactured housing communities. 'Strategies like public housing and rent control have played important roles, but come with limitations,' he says. 'Rent control may provide short-term relief, but it can also discourage new development and worsen supply shortages. Public housing developments are expensive to build and maintain and require significant government funding.' Manufactured housing communities (MHCs), which Forssman calls 'naturally occurring affordable housing' has offered housing for millions for much of the last century. MHCs represent the most significant source of non-subsidized affordable housing in the U.S. 'Unlike subsidized housing, MHCs are privately financed and operated . . . a market-driven solution that doesn't depend on public programs,' he says. Without innovative solutions, the affordability gap Curtis referred to will claim some of many municipalities' most important contributors. 'We're watching the backbone of our communities get pushed out,' he says. 'People who hold our cities together – teachers, nurses, sanitation workers, first responders – can no longer afford to live near their work . . . We continue to lose trust in the systems that are supposed to protect us. And the longer we wait to act, the harder it will be to repair what's already breaking.'

What To Expect From Lennar's Earnings?
CANADA - 2025/02/25: In this photo illustration, the Lennar Corporation logo is seen displayed on a ... More smartphone screen. (Photo Illustration by Thomas Fuller/SOPA Images/LightRocket via Getty Images) Lennar (NYSE:LEN), one of the largest home construction firms in the U.S., plans to release its earnings around June 16, 2025, for a quarter that is expected to have experienced a slowdown in business due to ongoing difficulties in the U.S. housing market caused by high home prices and elevated mortgage rates. The consensus anticipates earnings of approximately $1.96 per share, a decrease from $3.38 per share in the same quarter last year, while revenues are expected to be around $8.2 billion, reflecting a 6% decline from the previous year. Lennar currently has a market capitalization of $29 billion. Revenue over the past twelve months was $36 billion, with an operational profit of $4.6 billion and net income of $3.7 billion. Therefore, for those seeking potential gains with less volatility than individual stocks, the Trefis High Quality Portfolio offers an alternative, having outperformed the S&P 500 and generated returns exceeding 91% since its inception. See earnings reaction history of all stocks Here are some insights regarding one-day (1D) post-earnings returns: Further information on observed 5-Day (5D) and 21-Day (21D) returns after earnings is compiled along with the statistics in the table below. LEN 1D, 5D, and 21D Post Earnings Return A comparatively less risky strategy (though not helpful if the correlation is weak) involves understanding the correlation between short-term and medium-term returns following earnings. By identifying pairs with the highest correlation, traders can execute suitable trades. For instance, if 1D and 5D show the greatest correlation, a trader can take a "long" position for the next five days should the 1D post-earnings return be positive. Below is some correlation data based on five-year and three-year (more recent) history. Note that the correlation 1D_5D indicates the correlation between 1D post-earnings returns and subsequent 5D returns. LEN Correlation Between 1D, 5D, and 21D Historical Returns Occasionally, the performance of peers can influence post-earnings stock reactions. Indeed, pricing could start prior to the earnings announcement. Below is historical data comparing Lennar's post-earnings performance with peers that reported earnings right before Lennar. For a fair comparison, peer stock returns also indicate post-earnings one-day (1D) returns.

Singapore Swaps Prime Land With Malaysia Billionaire King's Son
Singapore's government is transferring a plot of land in one of its priciest residential enclaves to the eldest son of Malaysia's billionaire king, in exchange for a larger vacant parcel that his family has owned for more than a century. Ismail Ibrahim, the Regent of Johor state, is the registered owner of a 21.1 hectare (52 acres) parcel of land along Holland Road that is worth billions of dollars. It is close to Singapore's Botanic Gardens, a colonial-era attraction which has become a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
