The Dubai-based company noted that facilitating the purchase of property through cryptocurrency will revolutionise the future of real estate. it will also provide convenience and optionality to real estate investors worldwide.

“This move towards customers holding cryptocurrency is one of our initiatives to accelerate the new economy for newer generations, and for the future of our industry,” Ali Sajwani, general manager of operations at Damac and lead of the organisation’s digital transformation initiatives.

He added: “It is crucial for global businesses like ours to stay at the top of evolution. Offering yet another transactional mode is exciting, and we are glad to recognise the value this technology brings to our customers.”

The adoption of cryptocurrencies is increasing at an exponential rate in the UAE. Recently, a Dubai-based announced Bake N More and delivery startup YallaMarket announced that would accept cryptocurrencies as mode of payment.

The UAE’s determination to develop the crypto industry has attracted large companies recently. Major crypto exchanges are shifting their base to Dubai following the Government’s decision to issue virtual asset licenses under the Dubai Virtual Assets Regulatory Authority.

Dubai is heading towards becoming a crypto hub. The Emirate is also promoting other virtual assets with crypto-friendly regulations.
