droppRWA, a subsidiary of droppGroup and a global provider of sovereign-grade Web3 AI and blockchain infrastructure, has partnered with Saudi RAFAL Real Estate Co. a real estate developer, to execute the first KSA real-world asset (RWA) tokenization of property markets under the RAFAL pilot.
The RAFAL pilot will serve as a national feasibility benchmark for the future of tokenized property markets within Saudi Arabia. By redefining real estate ownership, the partnership aims to introduce fractional ownership of high-value real estate assets, allowing Saudi citizens to invest with amounts starting as low as single-digit riyals.
droppRWA is on Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030 timeline
As per the announcement, the democratized access model aligns directly with Vision 2030’s objectives of financial inclusion, digital transformation, and citizen empowerment. The initiative is also designed to attract institutional-grade foreign capital through compliant digital frameworks, unlocking trillions in local and foreign direct investment (FDI) capital via a fully regulated, blockchain-based investment channel.
droppRWA, in collaboration with leading consultancies, will conduct a comprehensive feasibility study for property tokenization across RAFAL’s portfolio. Additionally, a fully regulated proof-of-concept will be created and executed, with RAFAL providing live real estate assets for controlled transaction testing.
Faisal Al Monai, co-founder of droppRWA, stated, “This transaction marks a paradigm shift. Around the world, we are witnessing the greatest digital transformation of the 21st century – the transformation of capital itself. The mission of this partnership positions Saudi Arabia at the forefront of programmable economies, with real-world impact for every citizen – starting at just 1 Riyal.”
Elias Abousamra, CEO of RAFAL Real Estate, remarked, “At RAFAL, we have always believed that real estate should be both aspirational and accessible. This partnership with droppRWA is not just about technology, it’s about democratizing real estate investment and creating a global platform for foreign direct investment into the promising Saudi market. For the first time, a young Saudi can own a piece of a premium development with just a few Riyals.”
