Ctrl Alt and Dubai Land Department Go Live with Tokenized Real Estate, Forecasts $16B Market by 2033

Published

on

By

DUBAI, UAE, May 25, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Leading tokenization infrastructure platform, Ctrl Alt has been announced as the tokenization partner for Dubai Land Department’s (DLD) pioneering Real Estate Tokenization Project. Launched today, the initiative in collaboration with the Virtual Assets Regulatory Authority (VARA), the Dubai Future Foundation and PRYPCO, marks a monumental step for asset tokenization and the future of property investment in the Emirate.

As the designated tokenization provider for the project, Ctrl Alt brings deep expertise in financial engineering and digital asset infrastructure. The DLD and Ctrl Alt have worked closely together on the development of a secure and compliant tokenization framework, focusing on structuring, minting and placing real estate title deed tokens on-chain. The XRP Ledger (XRPL), a decentralized layer 1 blockchain renowned for its decade-long reliability and stability in tokenizing and exchanging digital and real-world assets, has been selected as the blockchain of choice for the project. Additionally, Ctrl Alt has integrated directly with the DLD to synchronize both digital and traditional real estate ledgers, ensuring coordination between the on-chain and the conventional property registration system. This enables a fully integrated and transparent tokenization process that aligns with local regulations and enhances investor confidence.

The project has been developed under the Real Estate Evolution Space Initiative (REES) and marks the first time in the Middle East that a government real estate registration authority has implemented a public blockchain-based tokenization of property title deeds. With this move, the DLD is leading the charge toward a more accessible, transparent and efficient real estate market, enabling fractional ownership, broadening investor participation and enhancing operational efficiency.

By leveraging native tokenization, ownership of real estate has been fractionalized, allowing multiple investors to co-own a single property. This is achieved through the PRYPCO Mint real estate platform, which is now live and allows investors to participate with a starting minimum investment of AED 2,000. EID holders are able to participate at mint.prypco.com.

The initiative is projected to contribute to the growth of an AED 60 billion ($16 billion) tokenized real estate market by 2033, equivalent to 7% of Dubai’s total property transactions.

Matt Ong, CEO and Founder, Ctrl Alt said, “We’ve been working closely with the DLD on this project for some time, and we’re delighted to be taking this major step together to bring real estate investment to a wider audience. As experts in the space, we are proud to create the tokenization infrastructure that enables DLD’s partners to offer fractional real estate to investors. Dubai’s leadership in embracing next-generation financial technologies is truly world-class and this project is a powerful signal of what’s to come. We’re thrilled to launch this pilot and continue building with DLD in the months ahead.”

This strategic initiative aligns with the objectives of Dubai’s Real Estate Sector Strategy 2033 and the broader Dubai Economic Agenda (D33), both of which prioritize the adoption of digital solutions to boost economic competitiveness, attract global investment and modernize key sectors.

Mindray Debuts Next-Generation BeneVision V Series Patient Monitoring System at Euroanaesthesia 2025

Published

By

SHENZHEN, China, May 25, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Mindray (SZSE: 300760), a leading global developer of healthcare technologies, launched its BeneVision V Series patient monitoring solution at Euroanaesthesia 2025 in Lisbon. Powered by a robust new hardware platform, this advanced system provides industry-first innovations in ultrasound-integrated hemodynamic assessment and cable-lite patient monitoring workflow, redefining the bedside monitor as a dynamic hub of precision medicine.

Ralph Zhao, General Manager of Sales & Marketing, Mindray Patient Monitoring & Life Support, shared: “Our new patient monitoring system future-proofs standards of care to help clinicians see patient status as a whole, making better use of multi-modal data from different devices for actionable insights.”

The increasing utilisation of point-of-care ultrasound in the ICU has transformed patient assessment and management. The new BeneVision V Series connects with ultrasound systems, including the TE Air handheld ultrasound, to systemically integrate imaging data for more insightful decision-making support. This bedside innovation enables clinicians to get clearer ultrasound images on screen, so they can visualise, analyse and document ultrasound findings both in real-time and through historical trends. The upgraded HemoSight™ tool aligns ultrasound-derived parameters with vital signs for synchronised evaluation, generating a more comprehensive hemodynamic profile for timely decision-making.

The MRV PodTM is another innovative breakthrough that enhances vital signs monitoring in critical care, improving patient mobility and optimising clinical workflows. This industry-first, full-parameter, cable-lite solution transmits vital signs data wirelessly to the BeneVision V Series monitor. This frees patients from bedside cables, allowing unimpeded mobility while streamlining workflow and cable management for nurses. Combined with the widely recognised BeneVision N1 transport monitor, the new solution supports continuous monitoring during patient transport for efficient, integrated care.

In addition, the top-of-the-line VMAX features a 4K UHD capacitive screen in an ultra-slim design. Its 360-degree visible alarm lights ensure critical alerts can be seen from any angle, minimising missed alarms and enhancing safety. The responsive touchscreen interface allows for smooth navigation and easy customisation. Clinicians can personalize displays with a simple drag-and-drop, and adjust waveform amplitude using pinch-to-zoom gestures.

“Through our continued collaborations with hospitals and academic institutions, we strive to empower clinicians to provide more personalised and focused care, enhancing patient attention. We anticipate further collaborative outcomes that will lead to improved data analysis and applications for more efficient workflows,” added Zhao.
