Article Summaries:

  • Dubai Land Department (DLD) and tokenization firm Ctrl Alt have launched a controlled secondary market for real‑estate tokens, allowing the resale of about $5 million in fractional property ownership. Roughly 7.8 million tokens tied to ten Dubai properties are now tradable on a regulated platform built on the XRP Ledger and secured by Ripple Custody, with trades synced to Dubai’s land registry. This move marks the second phase of Dubai’s $16 billion tokenization roadmap, which aims to tokenize 7 % of the city’s real‑estate market by 2033. While blockchain rails promise faster settlement and clearer ownership records, regulators warn that limited liquidity and uneven oversight could constrain the market’s growth.
