Dubai's $3 Billion Tokenization Deal Reshapes Real Estate Investment

Dubai’s crypto boom is not only attracting trading platforms but is also becoming a global hub for the tokenization of real-world assets. This shift is transforming the investment landscape, making high-value real estate developments accessible to a broader range of investors through blockchain technology.

A significant development in this trend is the $3 billion tokenization agreement between MAG, a leading real estate developer in the UAE, and MultiBank Group, the world’s largest financial derivatives institution based in Dubai, along with Mavryk, a leading blockchain innovator. This initiative marks the largest real-world asset (RWA) tokenization project to date, highlighting the imminent launch of $MBG, the utility token at the core of MultiBank’s next-generation digital finance ecosystem.

The partnership aims to bring MAG’s premium real estate developments, including The Ritz-Carlton Residences, Dubai, Creekside, and Keturah Reserve, onto the blockchain. This move will make these high-value properties available to global investors via MultiBank.io’s fully regulated RWA marketplace. Once launched, holders of these tokenized assets will be able to earn daily yield distributed 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.

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, emphasized the significance of this partnership in broadening access to high-value developments and unlocking liquidity via blockchain while maintaining transparency and stakeholder protection.

Zak Taher, Founder and CEO of MultiBank.io, described this initiative as a flagship use case for the $MBG token, enabling seamless access to $3 billion in tokenized property and bridging regulated finance with next-generation investment infrastructure. Alex Davis, Founder and CEO of Mavryk, highlighted the paradigm shift in how real-world assets are accessed and traded, transforming landmark developments into borderless, liquid investment opportunities.

The platform is designed 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. The buyback-and-burn model tied to platform revenues and staking rewards designed to incentivize long-term engagement provide 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.

This initiative underscores Dubai's growing role as a global leader in the tokenization of real-world assets, leveraging blockchain technology to reshape investment horizons and make high-value real estate more accessible to a global audience. The collaboration between MAG, MultiBank Group, and Mavryk represents a significant step forward in the integration of blockchain and real estate, paving the way for a future where digital assets and traditional investments coexist seamlessly.

Dubai’s regulatory authorities, including VARA and ADGM, are finalizing frameworks to ensure tokenized assets meet global standards. A key deadline in mid-June outlines rules for digital asset licensing and product complexity, driving institutional interest in blockchain-based securities. This emerging regulatory clarity reduces investor uncertainty. Companies and fund managers seeking access to large pools of liquidity and property markets are incentivized to participate in Dubai’s structured, compliant tokenization ecosystem.

Tokenization is sprouting new financial models. Asset-backed tokens allow fractional ownership of property and infrastructure projects. For example, mega-developments can offer digital shares tied to rent or usage income, opening up previously closed markets to international investors. Additionally, financial centers are building “crypto towers” and innovation districts focused on tokenized asset labs. The result is a thriving interface of real estate, DeFi, and blockchain tech, powered by cross-border capital flows and smart contracts.

By combining zero taxes with clear regulation, Dubai is attracting projects from Europe and the U.S. Italian crypto firms and major startups are relocating to take advantage of the ecosystem. Leaders like Ripple have already received Dubai-issued licenses for crypto payments. Institutional players are watching. Venture capital in crypto exceeded $5.4 billion in Q1 2025, with Dubai-related infrastructure deals making headlines. Traditional finance firms from the Gulf to Europe are stepping into the tokenization space, seeing it as the next frontier.

In short, Dubai is transforming into a cross-border launchpad for tokenized finance—its impact likely to ripple across global markets for years to come.
