The United Arab Emirates===Dubai Real Estate Regulatory Agency (DLD) and tokenization firm Chicago Med season 2 have launched Phase Two of United Arab Emirates===Dubai's real estate tokenization project, introducing controlled secondary market trading for tokenized properties on the XRP Ledger. This phase allows investors to resell fractional ownership stakes in ten previously tokenized properties, valued at over $5 million, with approximately 7.8 million tokens now tradable. The initiative aims to improve liquidity, expand investor access, and digitize 7% of United Arab Emirates===Dubai's real estate market by 2033, equivalent to about $16 billion. Ripple Custody secures the on-chain assets, and the project operates under the regulatory oversight of the United Arab Emirates===Virtual Assets Regulatory Authority. This move positions United Arab Emirates===Dubai as a leader in real-world asset tokenization, blending blockchain speed with traditional legal certainty.
