DigiEstate, a homegrown real estate tokenization platform and the world’s first Shariah-compliant ecosystem developed and tested under SECP Sandbox, is set to expand its footprint into the Gulf Cooperation Council markets with the support of ADGM, ADIO, and Hub 71. The platform, accessible at digistate, offers a pioneering approach to real estate investment by enabling digital tokenization of properties, providing investors with a transparent, compliant, and efficient method for asset management.
The expansion into the GCC comes after a formal invitation extended to DigiEstate CEO Naeem Khanani by ADGM, Abu Dhabi, alongside ADIO and Hub 71. This collaboration aims to bring DigiEstate’s innovative model to regional markets, creating opportunities for Shariah-compliant real estate investment across the GCC. The initiative is designed to foster cross-border financial technology partnerships and encourage adoption of tokenized assets in compliance with both regional and international regulatory standards.
DigiEstate’s platform has already demonstrated robust functionality within Pakistan under SECP’s regulatory sandbox, offering a secure environment for token issuance, trading, and investment in real estate projects. By leveraging blockchain technology, DigiEstate ensures transparency, liquidity, and accessibility for investors while maintaining strict adherence to Shariah principles. The upcoming expansion will introduce this model to investors in Abu Dhabi and surrounding GCC countries, potentially transforming conventional property investment strategies in the region.
CEO Naeem Khanani highlighted that the invitation from ADGM, ADIO, and Hub 71 represents a significant milestone for DigiEstate and Pakistan’s fintech ecosystem. He emphasized that the expansion not only provides access to a broader investor base but also positions DigiEstate as a leading example of how homegrown technology solutions can scale internationally while adhering to Shariah-compliant guidelines. The platform’s entry into the GCC markets is expected to facilitate greater cross-border collaboration, attract regional investment, and enhance the overall credibility of Pakistan’s fintech innovation on a global stage.
DigiEstate’s journey reflects a growing trend of blockchain-powered real estate solutions that are reshaping traditional property markets. With the support of ADGM, ADIO, and Hub 71, the platform is positioned to integrate into a more diverse financial ecosystem, encouraging innovation, enhancing liquidity, and providing investors with flexible, secure, and compliant opportunities in real estate. The expansion signifies Pakistan’s increasing contribution to the global fintech landscape and underscores the potential of local startups to achieve international recognition and impact.
As DigiEstate prepares to enter GCC markets, further developments regarding partnerships, regulatory compliance, and platform capabilities are anticipated, signaling a new chapter for Shariah-compliant real estate investment and blockchain-enabled financial solutions in the region.
