Tokinvest, a UAE regulated marketplace for real-world asset investing, and German based StegX, a platform for tokenized real assets based in Germany, have partnered to bridge tokenization between UAE and Germany. StegX has been collaborating with entities to bridge tokenization solutions with Singapore, and Latin America.

The collaboration aims to advance the global ecosystem of tokenized real-world assets (RWAs) by combining the regulatory strengths and technological capabilities of both entities. As per the press release, the partnership will provide investors with seamless access to tokenized assets across multiple markets, enhancing transparency, liquidity, and financial inclusion.

This partnership represents a significant step toward mainstream adoption of tokenized assets. By connecting Dubai, a global hub for virtual asset innovation, with Frankfurt, one of Europe’s premier financial centers, Tokinvest and StegX are creating a robust cross-border infrastructure that benefits both issuers and investors.

“This collaboration underscores our commitment to democratizing access to the world’s most exclusive assets,” said Scott Thiel, CEO and Co-Founder of Tokinvest. “StegX’s expertise in tokenization and their strong presence in Europe complement our vision to make high-quality investments more accessible. Together, we’re building a bridge for global investors to explore the future of tokenized real-world assets in a secure, regulated environment.”

Daniel Radwansky, CEO and Co-Founder of StegX, commented, “This partnership represents a significant milestone in advancing the adoption of tokenised real-world assets. By connecting Europe and the Middle East, we are creating new opportunities for investors and issuers alike, fostering a global ecosystem of innovation, transparency, and efficiency.”

Finally, the collaboration will support issuers in creating, listing, and trading tokenized assets, ranging from real estate and commodities to funds, with unparalleled security and compliance.

Germany is already far along when it comes to opening up to tokenization of real world assets. In December 2024, German fintech 21X, one of the four applicants for a blockchain trading infrastructure permit under the European Union’s DLT Pilot Regime, secured regulatory approval to launch a tokenization platform.

Granted by German financial supervisory authority, Bundesanstalt für Finanzdienstleistungsaufsicht (BaFin), the license enabled 21X to launch its exchange for tokenized financial instruments from its Frankfurt headquarters.

Additionally German based Cashlink Technologies also received a crypto custodian license from the German regulator. “With the combination of our license as a crypto securities registrar and the new crypto custody license, we offer a unique, comprehensive service offering around tokenized securities,” said Michael Duttlinger, CEO of Cashlink. “This strong regulatory foundation not only strengthens our market leadership as a neutral infrastructure provider for tokenized assets but also consistently drives forward the development of Capital Markets 2.0.”

SNC Insider’s recent market research has noted that the Tokenization Market was valued at USD 2.9 Billion in 2023 and is projected to reach USD 16.6 Billion by 2032, growing at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 21.5% from 2024 to 2032.

Tokinvest, a marketplace for real-world asset investing, recently received a full market license from the Dubai Virtual Assets Regulatory Authority (VARA) showcasing the growing role tokenization is playing in the UAE and globally. Founder Scott Thiel noted that tokenization will play a critical role in shaping the UAE’s digital assets and blockchain ecosystem, while VARA’s CEO believes this is the year of tokenization.

The company founded by Scott Thiel and Matt Blom aims to break down barriers to exclusive investments. The aim is to offer fractionalized investments in premium assets accessible to everyone – in a safe, secure and regulated platform leveraging blockchain technology.

Speaking to Lara on the Block, Thiel noted, “We believe tokenization will play a critical role in shaping the UAE’s digital assets and blockchain ecosystem. Dubai, through VARA, has positioned itself as a global leader with its innovative and forward-thinking regulatory framework. Tokenization of RWAs represents the next evolution in web3 and delivers on blockchain’s promise to make investments more accessible, transparent and liquid.”

Thiel adds that their thesis is to bring the best and most desirable investment products to the market making them accessible and cost effective.

The main industries that Tokinvest will be entering are funds, real estate and commodities. He explains, ” These sectors contain some of the most prestigious and traditionally exclusive assets. Their high value and limited accessibility make them ideal for fractionalization, unlocking opportunities for a much wider pool of investors.”

Thiel confirms as well that in the next months the focus will be on the UAE market, while not ruling out future expansions into other markets. He explains, ” Our current priority is delivering on our commitment to building a robust and secure ecosystem under VARA’s regulatory framework. Receiving the VARA license validates our innovative approach to fractional investing and positions us as a trusted partner in the evolving financial landscape. We believe that offering fractional investments of the most prestigious assets will democratize access and make it easier for individuals and institutions alike to unlock the value and create liquidity for real-world assets.”

Tokinvest has secured a pipeline of elite assets from leading real estate developers, fund managers and commodities trading venues and will be bringing these tokenised assets to market in the coming weeks and months. The company is dedicated to fostering a robust ecosystem, facilitating broader access to the best products in the world while prioritising investor protection.

The full market license allows Tokinvest to operate as a Virtual Asset Broker-Dealer; and to serve retail, qualified, and institutional investors in and from Dubai, further enhancing the accessibility and appeal of fractionalised investments.

Belal Jassoma, Director of Ecosystems, DMCC said: “Tokinvest’s achievement reflects the leading ecosystem we have established for Web3 businesses and supports our vision to grow web3 adoption and RWA. This milestone demonstrates Dubai’s standing as a pioneering market in the crypto space, with a clear and progressive regulatory framework that enables companies to innovate and operate securely. We are proud to support Tokinvest and all of our members scale up and tap into global markets across DMCC’s international business district.”

DAMAC $1 billion tokenization deal

It would seem that Thiel is not the only one who believes that tokenization will play a critical role in UAE. The Tokinvest license comes days after DAMAC and Mantra, an RWA focused Layer 1 blockchain announced a deal to tokenize $1 billion worth of assets.

Even Zand Bank PJSC, the digital bank licensed by the Central Bank of the UAE, and MANTRA, signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to streamline the process of real-world asset tokenization, including the identification, listing and distribution of RWAs.

VARA CEO Mathew White notes 2025 year of tokenization

Meanwhile, Mathew White, CEO of Dubai’s Virtual Asset Regulatory Authority (VARA) this week also noted in a LinkedIn post that he believes 2025 is the year of tokenization of real-world assets. He stated, ” Tokenized RWAs are on-chain representations of ownership in, or rights and obligations related to, assets like real estate, debt, equity, and other traditionally more illiquid financial assets. Tokenization can make them globally accessible and tradable, while also opening investment opportunities to individuals previously excluded from these asset markets.”

Given that over $50 billion RWAs have already been tokenized, and predictions that this number may reach $500 billion in 2025, White believes that it is clear that tokenization is no longer a buzzword. He states, “It is reshaping industries and redefining how assets are owned, valued, and exchanged.”

Investor preferences are evolving, leading to further adoption and capital inflows into tokenized assets, including over $30 billion in real estate ownership, according to the piece. He also notes that the $500 billion RWA tokenization figure does not include stablecoins.

In his concluding remarks he believes that the vision is also reflected in Virtual Assets Regulatory Authority [VARA]’s objectives, as well as the UAE’s strategy to promote sustainable growth and development within the finance sector. He states, “Consider the scale of the opportunity in Islamic finance alone: the market is valued at around $4 trillion globally and is expected to soar to some $6 trillion by 2026. The potential for the tokenization of Shariah-compliant RWAs is significant.”

Each protocol can receive up to 20,000 BNB with a total pool of 50,000 BNB allocated. Rewards will be distributed to the top five performing protocols that drive innovation and adoption within the ecosystem.


“Through the TVL Incentive campaign, we aim to empower projects to achieve their full potential, while rewarding those who stake and help secure the expanding ecosystem. By locking in TVL and supporting their growth, we are not only advancing our mission of onboarding the next billion Web3 users but also positioning BNB Chain as a network of networks,” said Marwan Kawadri, Head of EMEA at BNB Chain.


Simultaneously, KernelDAO has unveiled its $40 million Ecosystem Fund to accelerate development across restaking and shared security to support projects building on its network within the BNB Chain ecosystem.

Supported by leading investors like Laser Digital, SCB Limited, Hypersphere Ventures, Cypher Capital, ArkStream, and Levitate Labs, this fund aims to empower developers to build middleware and applications on BNB Chain. Additionally, KernelDAO will allocate 5% of its token supply as ecosystem development grants for developers and partners building and working with the KernelDAO ecosystem. With the support of over 20 prominent middleware and applications including top AI players like Mira, and Zero-Knowledge proof networks like Electron, Kernel is set to expand its ecosystem by adding over 45 strategic partners through the Ecosystem Fund.


“The launch of the Ecosystem Fund is a significant step towards increasing our efforts to build the restaking and DeFi landscape on the BNB Chain. By empowering developers to build projects on Kernel, we aim to boost innovation across middleware, applications leveraging restaking,” said Amitej Gajjala, Chief Executive Officer and Co-Founder of KernelDAO.
