PRYPCO Mint, the Dubai-based tokenised real estate platform, has expanded into gold investment with the launch of its new offering on 19 June 2026. Powered by PAX Gold (PAXG), the feature allows users to buy and sell gold-backed digital tokens from as little as AED100, with no transaction fees and 24/7 liquidity. The company says every token is fully backed by physical gold held in reserve.

The feature is integrated into PRYPCO Mint’s existing app, which operates under a licence from Dubai’s Virtual Assets Regulatory Authority (VARA). That regulatory framework is central to the product’s positioning: rather than offering an unregulated gold token, PRYPCO provides VARA-supervised access to PAXG, one of the market’s most liquid gold-backed digital assets.

The headline commercial proposition is the cross-asset reinvestment model. Investors earning rental income from tokenised real estate holdings on the platform can reinvest those proceeds into gold without leaving the app. PRYPCO describes this as the first platform in the Middle East and North Africa to combine tokenised real estate and gold within a single regulated environment. That claim has not been independently verified.

Amira Sajwani, founder and chief executive of PRYPCO, said the company aims to remove traditional barriers to gold ownership, including high minimum investment thresholds, storage requirements and limited exit liquidity. “We are also linking asset classes in a way that has not been done before,” she added, noting that investors can now reinvest rental income directly into gold within a single regulated platform.

The product is now available to eligible users globally. Prior to its launch, PRYPCO opened a waitlist for early access.

Regulatory and market context

PRYPCO Mint’s choice of PAX Gold as the underlying asset is notable. Issued by Paxos Trust Company, each PAXG token represents one troy ounce of gold, with the underlying bullion held in Brink’s vaults. Using an established and audited token reduces some of the counterparty and custody risks associated with bespoke gold tokenisation schemes. However, investors should recognise that they are holding a digital asset backed by gold rather than owning allocated physical bullion directly in their own name.

The Gulf’s digital assets market continues to evolve through active regulatory development. Dubai’s Virtual Assets Regulatory Authority (VARA) and the Financial Services Regulatory Authority (FSRA) at Abu Dhabi Global Market have established comprehensive virtual asset frameworks, positioning the UAE as one of the region’s most clearly regulated jurisdictions for digital assets. PRYPCO’s existing VARA licence provides a strong compliance foundation for its operations. However, as VARA distinguishes between different categories of virtual asset activities, the regulatory treatment and scope of the company’s gold offering will remain an important area to watch.

More broadly, tokenised real-world assets continue to attract growing institutional interest, with real estate and commodities among the asset classes most commonly featured in tokenisation initiatives led by banks and asset managers. While PRYPCO Mint targets retail and internationally mobile investors rather than institutions, the regulated multi-asset platform it has developed reflects a broader industry trend towards offering multiple tokenised investment options within a single digital ecosystem.

The platform already reports serving investors from more than 50 nationalities through its tokenised real estate offering. Whether the gold product attracts a broader investor base or primarily strengthens engagement among existing users will be an important measure of the commercial success of this expansion.
