Ripple has announced a landmark partnership with Ctrl Alt and the Dubai Land Department to revolutionize real estate ownership using blockchain technology. Through this collaboration, Ripple Custody will provide secure and scalable digital asset storage for tokenized title deeds issued on the XRP Ledger (XRPL).
This transformative move enables fractional ownership, ensures full transparency, and opens global access to Dubai’s booming real estate market.
Ripple Custody Powers the Future of Property Ownership
At the heart of this initiative is Ripple Custody, Ripple’s institutional-grade custody solution, which will safeguard tokenized real estate deeds on the XRPL. These deeds represent ownership of physical properties that have been digitally recorded and tokenized, allowing them to be traded, split into fractions, and accessed by investors worldwide.

By leveraging Ripple’s infrastructure, the Dubai Land Department is bringing innovation to a traditionally paper-heavy process, eliminating inefficiencies and enabling real-time verification and transfer of ownership. The tokenized deeds offer a secure, immutable record on the blockchain, reducing the risk of fraud and simplifying property transactions.
XRP Ledger: The Chosen Backbone for Real Estate Tokenization
The Dubai Land Department’s decision to use the XRP Ledger for this initiative underscores XRPL’s reliability, scalability, and efficiency. Known for its high throughput and minimal transaction costs, the XRPL is particularly well-suited for tokenizing real-world assets like property.
Fractional ownership on XRPL means that expensive properties can be divided into smaller, tradable units, making real estate investment accessible to a broader audience. This opens new doors for both local and international investors, who can now own pieces of Dubai’s premium real estate without needing to purchase entire properties.
Dubai’s Ambition Meets Ripple’s Technology
Dubai has long positioned itself as a global leader in digital innovation, particularly in the blockchain and fintech sectors. This partnership with Ripple aligns with the UAE’s broader vision to integrate blockchain across key government functions. With the Dubai Land Department now actively issuing tokenized deeds on the XRPL, the city is setting a global benchmark for how governments can adopt blockchain to modernize traditional industries.

Ripple’s announcement confirms years of groundwork and strategic alignment with Dubai’s tech-forward policies. The implementation of blockchain in property registration is not a future possibility; it’s happening now.
A New Chapter for XRP Utility
Beyond speculation and trading, XRP is proving its value as a foundational asset in real-world applications. As tokenized deeds are stored and exchanged on the XRP Ledger, the network’s practical utility becomes clearer, reinforcing XRP’s long-term relevance.
This partnership represents a major leap for both Ripple and Dubai. It marks the beginning of a new era where blockchain, and specifically the XRP Ledger, plays a central role in redefining how the world interacts with real estate.
