Ripple has expanded its institutional custody companies into the Center East, partnering with UAE-based tokenization platform Ctrl Alt to assist Dubai’s government-led actual property digitization initiative.
The deal, introduced on Tuesday, will see Ctrl Alt use Ripple’s custody infrastructure to retailer tokenized property title deeds issued by the Dubai Land Division (DLD) on the XRP Ledger (XRPL).
Ripple’s know-how will underpin the safe storage and lifecycle administration of fractionalized actual property titles, which kinds a key part of Ctrl Alt’s end-to-end infrastructure for asset tokenization.
Ctrl Alt lately turned the primary VASP in Dubai licensed to supply issuer-related companies below the Digital Belongings Regulatory Authority (VARA), tying token issuance on to on-chain custody.
The transfer comes amid rising momentum for cryptocurrencies in Dubai. Ripple was granted a license by the Dubai Monetary Companies Authority (DFSA) earlier this yr and has since launched partnerships with Zand Financial institution and Mamo, and secured approval for its RLUSD stablecoin throughout the Dubai Worldwide Monetary Centre (DIFC).
