The Saudi Arabian Real Estate Registry (RER), which is supervised by the KSA’s Real Estate General Authority (REGA), has launched a nationwide property tokenization infrastructure that enables digital ownership transfer, built on a blockchain infrastructure that includes property registration, fractionalization and market integration.
SettleMint, a tokenization platform for corporate assets, has already deployed the blockchain platform, which will act as a technological backbone for the next-generation real estate market.
The platform will integrate blockchain-based title management, automated valuation models (AVMs), escrow-linked payment verification and fractional ownership capabilities, opening up the real estate investment and financing market to more players in a transparent and secure manner.
It will also add liquidity to a more globally accessible real estate ecosystem, which is in line with KSA’s Vision 2030 goals.
The RER blockchain platform supports the full spectrum of real estate ownership
Built on a hybrid architecture that combines the RER’s core registration services with blockchain orchestration and smart contract layers designed by SettleMint, the platform supports end-to-end digital transactions, from listing and due diligence to ownership transfer and post-trade settlement.
Inspire for Solutions Development ensures general market development.
Upcoming phases include a national tokenized marketplace that will enable supervised buying and selling of fractional tokenized real estate assets.
Later, banks and developers will be able to integrate with RER systems through an open API framework that will allow them to build new digital services, such as tokenized lending and real estate investment products, for other services that include digital escrow and cross-border real estate transactions.
Additionally, Saudi PropTech startups and international technology providers will have access to secure integration interfaces to build applications for real estate valuation, tokenized lending, land management and secondary market trading.
SettleMint is supporting the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia’s launch of the world’s first blockchain-powered national infrastructure for property tokenization and digital ownership.

The initiative is the result of the efforts of RER and REGA, integrating best practices from Switzerland, Singapore, Germany, Japan and the United Kingdom. The end result is a system well adapted to the Saudi institutional context. This has enabled the creation of a ‘register-as-truth’ model in which the RER ledger serves as the conclusive record of property rights.
An integrated regulatory framework is now being implemented.
The architecture ensures compliance with National Cybersecurity Authority (NCA) standards and integrates with Saudi identity and payment systems (Absher, Nafath, Mada).
Adam Popat, CEO of SettleMint, said: “This is not a proof-of-concept – it is a national digital market infrastructure that is operational. Saudi Arabia is now at the forefront of a global movement that is redefining how countries manage, invest and transact in real-world assets. The kingdom’s leadership has built not only technology, but also trust – the essential foundation for any programmable economy. SettleMint is honored to be entrusted as the partner to deliver this transformation on a national scale.”
Saudi real estate tokenization platform to boost foreign direct investment
By linking real estate tokenization to capital market infrastructure, the initiative unlocks a powerful lever for economic diversification and international capital attraction. Through regulated tokenization, investors from all over the world will have access to (fractional) Saudi real estate assets, whether commercial developments or residential portfolios.
It is also expected to open new investment channels and enable PropTech to develop innovative investment options that strengthen Saudi Arabia’s position as a regional hub for digital asset markets.
This announcement comes as Saudi Arabia recently announced its token luxury resort project in the Maldives with the Trump Group. The initiative symbolizes the development phase itself and offers investors the opportunity to participate in a fast-growing, premium real estate project from the start.
