MENA Emerges as the Global Hub for Tokenized Assets
-

The Middle East and North Africa are quietly becoming a global laboratory for tokenization, turning gold, real estate, and equities into on-chain assets.
From Dubai paying salaries in crypto to the Dubai Land Department aiming to tokenize 30% of its real estate market in the next decade, regulators are working with the industry, not against it, to build the infrastructure for borderless finance.For investors, tokenization means fractional ownership, 24/7 liquidity, and self-custody—allowing access to gold, US stocks, and even private equity directly from a wallet. Platforms like MEXC and OKX are already enabling retail users to buy fractional shares of Apple or Tesla on-chain, while institutional players benefit from automated dividends and KYC compliance. In MENA, the question isn’t if tokenization will grow—it’s how fast it will transform global finance.
