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.

Global wealth continues to grow. Here's how Canada's millionaires stack up
The world is getting wealthier, with the ranks of those with US$1 million or more continuing to expand, according to a recent report from Swiss financial services firm UBS Group AG. In Canada, median wealth per adult ballooned by nearly 10 per cent in local currency in 2024, the report stated. Real estate appreciation and a robust stock market last year are among the factors contributing to this, said Josh Sheluk, portfolio manager at Verecan Capital Management. 'I think as long as you're having growth of economies globally, you're going to see spillover effects to Canada and, quite frankly, to most regions of the world,' Sheluk said. 'I think we're well positioned here in Canada to benefit.' Global wealth climbed 4.6 per cent from 2023 to 2024, following a rise of 4.2 per cent rise reported in 2023. In fact, UBS said total wealth has climbed at a compound annual growth rate of 3.4 per cent since 2000. Canada held a 2.5 per cent slice of global personal wealth in 2024, coming after France (3.3 per cent), India (3.4 per cent), Germany and the United Kingdom (3.8 per cent), Japan (4.5 per cent), China (20 per cent) and the United States (35 per cent), the UBS report found. The country also ranked No. Nine among the top countries for median wealth at US$151,910 per adult, and eleventh for average wealth at US$365,953 per adult. These figures are far more disparate for the U.S., which fell behind at 15th place for median wealth at $124,041 per adult, but boasted second place for average wealth at US$620,654 per adult. The numbers of those who hold wealth are rising as well. The world added more than 680,000 new millionaires in U.S. dollars in 2024 (a 1.2 per cent increase) and UBS predicted more than five million more will join these ranks by 2029. Canada made up a significant portion of that number, adding 117,000 U.S.-dollar millionaires last year (an uptick of 5.4 per cent), taking its total to about 2.1 million USD millionaires. However, having $1 million in investable assets no longer signifies super affluence. 'We may need to redefine what threshold is being considered wealthy,' Sheluk said. 'I think there are many people in Canada that have $1 million in net wealth and don't feel very wealthy.' In fact, the UBS report noted the number of 'everyday millionaires' (with assets of US$1 million to US$5 million) has more than quadrupled globally since 2000 to about 52 million in 2024. The researchers highlighted significant growth in real estate values driving this growth. In comparison, the world's billionaires have increased only slightly to 2,891, with the majority boasting a fortune between US$1 and US$49 billion. The great wealth transfer over the next 20-25 years is also expected to produce shifts in wealth dynamics. More than US$83 trillion is projected to be transferred, with US$9 trillion moving horizontally, between spouses, and US$74 trillion passing between generations. The distribution of wealth is currently highly concentrated among baby boomers (born between 1946 and 1964), who held more than US$83 trillion in net wealth in 2024, almost twice as much as generation X (born between 1965 and 1980) and five times as much as millennials (those born after 1981). Millennials had the highest proportion of assets in consumer durables (items such as cars or household appliances with a relatively long life after purchase) and real estate, and invested more in private businesses. They had the lowest proportion invested in financial markets. Sheluk said this distribution is fairly similar to what he sees among his Canadian clients, noting that younger Canadians are at a life stage where they are dedicating more of their income to purchasing their first home or a car. 'The boomer population is really the main benefactor of the compounding effects of wealth since World War Two,' he said. 'But you do see the next generations are steadily seeing growth in their wealth as well, and I would expect that to continue over time.' Unlike in 2023, when the annual UBS report found Europe, the Middle East and Africa led the growth in wealth, in 2024 North America accounted for the bulk of growth in global wealth (at 11 per cent). This was bolstered by a stable U.S. dollar and healthy financial markets. In the U.S., median wealth per adult climbed by about three per cent. More millionaires are considering exiting Canada now than during last election cycle, survey finds Rising number of millionaires fuels global wealth bounceback: Here's how Canada stacks up Still, Sheluk said regions that have grown their wealth the fastest in the past five years (such as the Americas) may not perform the best in the coming five, 10 or even 25 years. 'The U.S. has been the best performing stock market for the better part of 15 years, but that's kind of an anomaly for something to stretch on that long without there being a bit of a … change,' Sheluk said. In the first six months of 2025, the S&P 500 has been rocked by shifting government policies, trade uncertainty and recession fears. However, after a dramatic plunge in April triggered by the tariff war, the index has since picked up, hovering close to levels reached in the beginning of the year. • Email: slouis@ Error in retrieving data Sign in to access your portfolio Error in retrieving data Error in retrieving data Error in retrieving data Error in retrieving data

Compass alleges that Zillow 'has retaliated against competitive threats by enacting an exclusionary policy' by banning listings that have been publicly marketed elsewhere first, according to the lawsuit filed Monday in federal court in Manhattan.
