The Dubai International Financial Centre (DIFC) has rolled out a digital property registry, allowing foreign investors to securely purchase and register properties online using blockchain-backed verification.

The initiative simplifies cross-border transactions, cuts processing times by up to 60%, and enhances transparency—appealing to global buyers and institutional investors alike.

Industry experts expect the registry to fuel more off-plan and luxury property transactions, particularly from investors in Europe and Asia seeking seamless market entry.
