A title deed was tokenized under supervision
The real estate authority completed the Kingdom’s first supervised title deed tokenization in November 2025 and issued standards linking digital tokens to the national property register.
Bring your Saudi property to investors on your own terms
Saudi Arabia is among the first countries anywhere to link digital tokens to its national property register, and it did it under supervision rather than in a pilot on the side. What it does not hand you is the platform, and that’s where we come in.
Saudi Arabia tokenized a title deed under supervision
Most markets tokenize a company that owns a building. Here the register itself was part of the exercise.
Two regulators, jointly
The first tokenization in the Kingdom was in real estate, under the joint supervision of the Real Estate General Authority (REGA) and the Capital Market Authority (CMA). Property and securities oversight arrive together here.
The route in is a permit, not a licence
The Capital Market Authority runs an experimental permit pathway for novel securities-related business models, accepting applications in defined cycles. It is a supervised pilot rather than a full authorisation.
Tokenized securities are still securities
The Capital Market Authority regulates them under the Capital Market Law, while the central bank covers banking and payments. The technology itself does not move an instrument out of securities law.
How to start
1. Tell us about the property
What you own and what you want to raise. We say plainly whether this fits, including when it does not.
2. A Saudi lawyer joins
Our local partner sets the structure and works out whether your project belongs in the experimental permit pathway or under the ordinary securities rules. That decision comes before anything is built.
The legal work and the launch run in parallel. In Saudi Arabia the pace is set by the permit cycle, since applications are accepted in defined windows rather than continuously. Your lawyer starts on day one.
Before you tokenize real estate in Saudi Arabia
Is real estate tokenization legal in Saudi Arabia?
It is happening under supervision. The real estate general authority (REGA) completed the first supervised title deed tokenization in November 2025, jointly with the Capital Market Authority, and issued standards linking tokens to the national register.
Can a foreign platform do this without a permit?
No. All KSA held properties are subject to the same local regulatory supervisory bodies. Operating outside the framework is not allowed. We build the platform, and the compliance pathway is established locally with your lawyer.
Who regulates the investment layer?
The Capital Market Authority, under the Capital Market Law, for anything that is a security. The central bank covers banking and payments. A token offering yield or profit exposure sits with the first.
How do I get in?
Through the experimental permit pathway for novel securities-related models, which accepts applications in cycles rather than on a rolling basis. Timing your application to a cycle is part of the plan.
