★While Bitcoin grabs headlines as digital gold, XRP is stealthily becoming the backbone of global real estate. From tokenized property shares in Dubai to crypto-backed land deals in Silicon Valley, XRP Ledger is positioning itself as the infrastructure layer for real-world assets (RWAs).
Dubai’s Real Estate Goes On-Chain
On May 25, 2025, Dubai’s Land Department launched a platform for residents to buy tokenized property shares—all recorded on the XRP Ledger and linked to the official registry. With 7% of its $300B market expected to be tokenized by 2033, Dubai chose XRP for its speed, security, and regulatory readiness.
Propy Brings XRP to U.S. Property
In the U.S., Propy—a blockchain real estate platform handling $4B+ in deals—now accepts XRP for purchases. Starting with a rare Silicon Valley parcel, Propy enables crypto-secured ownership, not just payments. Smart contracts now automate title transfers and crypto-backed mortgages replace slow traditional loans.
Smart Money Watches the Rails
At Bitcoin 2025, investor Gary Cardone praised Bitcoin, but acknowledged XRP’s momentum. His firm uses rent income from real estate to dollar-cost average into Bitcoin—ending with dual exposure to $125M in real estate and $125M in crypto.
