UAE developer inks world's largest real estate tokenisation deal

Khaleej Times20-05-2025

In the world's largest real-world asset (RWA) tokenisation initiative to date, MAG, a leading real estate developer in the UAE, has signed a $3 billion tokenisation agreement with MultiBank Group, the world's largest financial derivatives institution based in Dubai, and Mavryk, a leading blockchain innovator.
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.
On March 19, the Dubai Land Department (DLD) launched the pilot phase of the Real Estate Tokenisation Project, which seeks to diversify property ownership by allowing multiple investors to co-own a single property through tokenised real estate assets.
Real estate tokenisation transforms real estate assets into digital tokens using blockchain technology. Each asset is divided into shares based on an investor's budget and financial strategy, enabling fractional property ownership.
The initiative highlights the imminent launch of $MBG, the utility token at the core of MultiBank's next-generation digital finance ecosystem. The $MBG token will power access, staking, fee payments, and platform engagement, positioning it as the infrastructure layer behind institutional-grade digital asset offerings.
The initial tokenisation of $3 billion is just the beginning. 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.
As part of the agreement, MAG will provide its premium real estate inventory for tokenisation, 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 tokenised 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, said: 'This collaboration represents a paradigm shift in how real-world assets are accessed and traded. By leveraging our advanced tokenisation 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.

UAE's MAG and MultiBank launch world's largest real estate tokenisation initiative

UAE-based real estate developer MAG recently partnered with digital finance platform (backed by the financial derivatives giant MultiBank Group) and blockchain innovator Mavryk to launch a landmark $3 billion real estate tokenisation initiative. The initiative, labelled the largest of its kind worldwide, will debut through the $MBG token, part of MultiBank's upcoming digital finance ecosystem. This three-way partnership between MAG, Multibank and Mavryk highlights how traditional real estate giants and fintech leaders are joining forces to democratise investment in real-world assets. Through real estate tokenisation, physical properties are turned into digital shares or tokens on the blockchain. Instead of buying a whole apartment or villa, an investor can acquire fractional ownership of the property, earn daily income, and buy/sell these tokens like stocks. In exclusive interviews with Zawya Projects, Talal Moafaq Al Gaddah, Senior Executive Vice Chairman of MAG, and Zak Taher, Founder and CEO of shared their insights into the vision, infrastructure, and investor safeguards behind the initiative. 'At MAG, we're very aware that this is new territory for many traditional investors,' said Al Gaddah. 'Real estate has always been about trust and real, lasting value. Just because the investment process is moving online doesn't mean those fundamentals should be lost.' Choosing the right properties MAG's first phase of tokenisation focuses on high-value, high-recognition developments. 'The Ritz-Carlton Residences, Dubai, Creekside, part of the Keturah Resort and Keturah Reserve are some of our most renowned projects,' said Al Gaddah. 'They also have a history of strong demand from both local and international buyers.' By tokenising properties that already hold strong market credibility, MAG aims to offer investors reassurance while expanding access. Al Gaddah believes tokenisation offers a new level of liquidity and accessibility. 'By introducing tokenisation, we're giving investors the flexibility to buy, sell, and trade their stake in prime assets much more freely, even in a fast-moving market.' MAG's strategy focuses on making the experience intuitive, partnering with MultiBank Group and Mavryk to deliver educational content and hands-on support via 'Whether it's a simple explainer video, a live webinar, or transparent documentation about how tokenisation works, we want investors to feel comfortable every step of the way,' he explained. Protecting investors The initiative will prioritize regulatory compliance and investor safeguards. 'Protecting our investors has always been non-negotiable for MAG, and it's especially important as we move into the digital space,' Al Gaddah said. 'That's why we chose to work with MultiBank Group. They're recognised for their regulatory strength across multiple markets.' Zak Taher, Founder and CEO of added: 'With 17 regulatory licenses from financial authorities spanning five continents, we've developed one of the most comprehensive compliance frameworks in the industry.' implements a robust set of governance protocols in partnership with MAG and Mavryk, including strict KYC/AML [Know Your Customer/Anti-Money Laundering] checks and investor accreditation measures. 'Ultimately, our role is to bridge traditional finance and digital assets in a way that's both forward-thinking and fully compliant,' said Taher. Managing market volatility and secondary trading The initiative includes mechanisms to support price stability and liquidity in the secondary market. 'The MultiBank Group will be actively involved in guiding the trading of these tokenised assets on our regulated platform,' said Taher. Strategies include active liquidity provisioning, listing filters, and DeFi [decentralised finance]- based programmable trading pools enabled through Mavryk. Al Gaddah added, 'Every asset on the platform is backed by real, high-value properties, and everything is governed by transparent rules and smart contracts. Investors will be able to see exactly how the process works—from issuance to yield distribution—right on the blockchain.' Return on investment Yield generation is tied directly to the real-world performance of MAG's assets. 'The daily yield comes directly from the real performance of the tokenised properties, including rental income and hospitality revenues,' said Al Gaddah. 'On top of that, the MultiBank Group platform has built-in mechanisms, such as their buyback-and-burn model and staking incentives linked to the $MBG token.' Transparency is ensured with all yield distributions published on-chain and backed by regular audits. 'We want people to know that their gains are grounded in the actual results of high-quality assets,' he said. Future expansion Al Gaddah confirmed that the $3 billion initiative represents the first phase, with the platform designed to support up to $10 billion in tokenised real estate assets. 'We're committed to expanding this approach to other premium developments in our pipeline, not just residential but also mixed-use projects,' he disclosed. Taher highlighted the broader goal of establishing $MBG as a leading utility token for real-world asset investment, supported by tangible benefits and regulatory compliance. He emphasised that the token offers access to staking, yield distribution, discounted fees, and VIP participation tiers, and is underpinned by institutional-grade real estate and a revenue-linked buyback-and-burn model. 'We expect strong take-up in the first year, particularly from investors seeking regulated access to real-world assets on the blockchain,' said Taher. 'As we add more offerings and grow the platform, our goal is for $MBG to become the standard for utility tokens in this space.' 'For us, this is about building a more open, flexible, and globally accessible real estate market—one that reflects how people want to invest today and in the future,' Al Gaddah concluded.

Nisus Finance signs MoU with Toyow to tokenise up to $500mln in real estate assets

Dubai, United Arab Emirates: Nisus Finance Investment Consultancy FZCO (NiFCO Dubai) has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Xchain Technologies FZCO (Toyow), a leading blockchain-based forensic and advisory firm, for the tokenisation of funds and assets worth up to US$500 million (Dh1.83 billion), as the market shifts towards Web3 technology. Nisus Finance plans to conduct a Security Token Offering (STO) of its real estate assets under management (AUM) through Toyow's marketplace. Toyow will provide end-to-end technical support, including smart contract development, blockchain integration, and regulatory alignment. This is in line with the UAE's futuristic national vision focusing on technology and innovation. The news comes a few days after the Dubai Land Department (DLD) launched the region's first tokenised real estate investment project in collaboration with the Virtual Assets Regulatory Authority (VARA), the Central Bank of the UAE, and the Dubai Future Foundation (DFF). With DLD projecting tokenised real estate transactions to reach Dh60 billion by 2033 — or 7 percent of the total market — Dubai is clearly positioning itself as a global hub for asset tokenisation. 'This MoU will help us develop real estate funds on the Web3 blockchain technology platform – that is set to revolutionise investment in real estate in the future,' Amit Goenka, Chairman and Managing Director of Nisus Finance Group (NiFCO), said. 'This would be our first such venture and depending on how the market responds, will usher in a new era in the UAE's high-growth real estate market. 'STO on a Web3 platform is secure, transparent and set to drive future real estate investment. Property developers are already introducing cryptocurrency and tokenisation as new channels of payment and raising funds. We are taking it a step forward by creating funds to accelerate the growth of the real estate market.' Tokenised private real estate funds are projected to grow to US$1 trillion by 2035, with a total market penetration rate of 8.5 percent. The tokenised ownership of loans and securitisations could grow to US$2.39 trillion by 2035, with a total market penetration rate of 0.55 percent, according to a report by the global business advisory firm Deloitte. As per the MoU, Xchain Technologies FZCO will tokenise Nisus Finance's Real Estate Assets Under Management (AUM) worth up to US$500 million (Dh1.83 billion) as security tokens on Toyow, a global multi-category tokenised Real World Assets (RWA) marketplace. Toyow will leverage its platform to provide technical and operational support, including regulatory compliance across the UAE, DIFC, and international jurisdictions. Investors holding the Toyow Token will be able to invest in this fund using Toyow Token ($TTN). Surajit Chanda, Co-founder, Toyow, says, 'Partnering with Nisus Finance on an STO of this scale underscores the growing maturity of real-world asset tokenization in the region. At Toyow, our mission is to unlock liquidity and access for high-quality assets by offering a secure, compliant, and scalable infrastructure. This collaboration reinforces our belief that institutional-grade tokenization is no longer a concept—it's here, it's accelerating, and it's changing how capital flows into real estate.' Toyow will also manage investor onboarding and KYC/AML compliance, provide secure wallet and custody infrastructure, and enable both primary issuance and secondary trading of the tokenised assets—all within a seamless, compliant ecosystem designed for institutional-grade scalability. Toyow is redefining access to real-world assets by enabling the tokenisation of categories like real estate, art, precious metals, alternative investments, and more, on-chain. Built for institutional-grade compliance and scalability, Toyow enables asset owners to digitise, fractionalise and monetise high-value assets, while offering investors secure, transparent access to global investment opportunities through a liquid, blockchain-powered marketplace. The partnership is part of Toyow's growing tokenisation pipeline valued at over US$38 billion across multiple asset classes and jurisdictions globally. As per the MoU, Toyow will list the tokenised real estate assets on its marketplace for primary and secondary trading, while managing liquidity mechanisms for the secondary trading of security tokens. In addition to these, Toyow will also oversee marketing, investor outreach, and awareness campaigns for the STO, in addition to providing a secure wallet infrastructure and custody solutions for tokenised assets. It will also handle all aspects of investor onboarding and operational execution for the STO, including customer support and transaction management. Disruptive technologies, such as asset tokenisation, are poised to transform real estate over the next few years. Built on blockchain technology, tokenisation converts physical or financial assets into fractional, digital representations that can be securely owned and traded online. 'Tokenised real estate could not only pave the way for new markets and products, but also give real estate organisations an opportunity to overcome challenges related to operational inefficiency, high administrative costs charged to investors, and limited retail participation,' according to a report by Deloitte. Tokenisation allows capital generation across the capital stack- including debt, equity, and hybrid funding on a single platform. Over the last eight years, since the first tokenised real estate deals were completed, tokenisation has helped open potential new avenues for real estate investment through fractional ownership, the report says. 'This technology could help build trillions of dollars of economic activity for the real estate sector over the next decade, in part, by allowing it to expand its investor base and product offerings. The Deloitte Center for Financial Services predicts that US$4 trillion of real estate will be tokenised by 2035, increasing from less than US$0.3 trillion in 2024, with a CAGR of 27 percent,' it said.

(NiFCO) is a leading, publicly listed real estate investment firm headquartered in India, with a proven track record of delivering high-yield, performance-driven assets across the country. In line with its global expansion strategy, NiFCO has extended its investor outreach across Southeast Asia, Europe, and the Middle East, bringing its deep sector expertise and innovative financial solutions to the UAE and broader GCC region.

Dogecoin holds support, XRP Faces correction signals, while BlockDAG's $0.0018 offer suggests the best time to buy crypto

Short-term momentum often grabs headlines, but deeper insights can reveal more about long-term potential. Dogecoin appears steady for now, supported by user activity and optimistic forecasts. Meanwhile, XRP is raising concerns following its rapid surge, as current data points to slowing network engagement. ContentsBlockDAG's Scalable Architecture & $276M Raise Highlight Long-Term UtilityDogecoin (DOGE) Price Forecast Shows Growth Potential with CautionXRP Trend Alert Points to a Potential Price CorrectionWrapping Up In comparison, BlockDAG is attracting a growing developer base by offering a scalable, utility-driven platform. While DOGE and XRP rely on momentum and market trends, BlockDAG aims to serve as a foundational Web3 layer. Its approach focuses on performance and flexibility, making it an appealing choice as demand grows for efficient blockchain infrastructure. BlockDAG's Scalable Architecture & $276M Raise Highlight Long-Term Utility Rather than positioning itself as just another blockchain, BlockDAG is building a Layer 1 platform designed to support future decentralised ecosystems. Its structure combines Directed Acyclic Graph (DAG) technology with a Proof-of-Work model, allowing transactions and smart contracts to run in parallel. This shift from sequential to parallel processing significantly increases scalability and responsiveness, which are key requirements for sectors like DeFi, gaming, and digital identity. What sets BlockDAG apart is its goal to function more like a decentralised operating system than a simple token network. The platform includes built-in features such as auto-scaling, cross-chain interaction, and smart contract automation. This design enables developers to build high-performance dApps without compromising on speed or security. The ongoing top crypto presale reflects growing confidence. BlockDAG has already raised over $276 million and sold more than 21.4 billion coins. The ROI from batch one now stands at 2,520%. Batch 28 is live with a rate of $0.0262, but a limited-time offer brings the price down to $0.0018 through June 13. For those evaluating the best time to buy crypto, this early-stage window offers a rare opportunity at significant value. Dogecoin (DOGE) Price Forecast Shows Growth Potential with Caution Currently trading near $0.224, Dogecoin (DOGE) price forecast suggests a potential move toward the $0.26 resistance level, assuming it continues to hold above $0.21. This short-term setup reflects cautious optimism as DOGE's daily performance shows only a slight 1.65% decline. Will Dogecoin hit $1? Looking ahead to 2025, analysts are split. Some believe DOGE could reach $0.731, while others foresee a more moderate level around $0.341. These projections depend on adoption rates, broader sentiment, and external market conditions. A notable development is the 500% surge in active DOGE addresses, signalling higher user interaction and possible support for upward movement. However, given DOGE's history of price swings, it remains a speculative asset. Investors should weigh the enthusiasm with care and rely on a broader strategy when acting on these forecasts. XRP Trend Alert Points to a Potential Price Correction XRP's recent performance has been impressive, climbing more than 385% since late 2024. But the latest XRP trend alert suggests that this rally may be losing steam. Over 70% of XRP's realised market cap has formed around its recent highs, a concentration pattern that has previously signalled trend reversals. Additionally, XRP's network activity has declined sharply. Active addresses have dropped more than 90% since March 2025, returning to pre-surge levels. This significant drop raises questions about ongoing demand and price support. From a technical standpoint, XRP is forming a falling wedge, a chart pattern often associated with possible downside movement. If confirmed, this could result in a 25% decline, pulling XRP back to around $1.76. Traders should continue monitoring volume and activity levels, as network participation remains a key factor in price direction. Wrapping Up Speculative rallies can bring short-term rewards, but long-term value often lies in infrastructure. DOGE's momentum stems from community energy, and XRP's current indicators suggest a cooling period. BlockDAG, in contrast, is built with scalability and flexibility in mind, two features increasingly critical as real-world blockchain applications evolve. With an architecture that blends parallel processing, EVM compatibility, and low-code development tools, BlockDAG offers practical utility for developers. Its consistent presale activity and broad market interest suggest it may be more than just another coin; it's aiming to be a platform developers and users can build on. As complexity in blockchain use cases grows, the need for scalable infrastructure becomes central. For those considering the future of crypto platforms, BlockDAG presents a case rooted in capability, timing, and clear technical advantage, a combination worth watching closely.
