UAE regulated TokinVest and World Mobile to tokenize Telecom infrastructure

UAE regulated, Tokinvest, a platform for real-world asset (RWA) tokenization, has partnered with DMCC registered, World Mobile, the blockchain powered telecom network to create tokenized DePIN DePIN (Decentralised Physical Infrastructure Network) investment opportunities that include AirNodes to blockchain enabled network services.

The first tokenised DePIN projects are expected to launch on Tokinvest in early 2026, subject to regulatory approval. These DePIN products will offer investors fractional ownership and yield participation in World Mobile’s expanding infrastructure network.

As per the announcement, select World Mobile infrastructure projects will be tokenised and offered on the Tokinvest marketplace, giving both retail and institutional investors the ability to access high-impact, yield-generating assets that drive digital inclusion across both developed and emerging markets (products are subject to regulatory approval and are not yet available to the public).

Scott Thiel, CEO and Co-Founder of Tokinvest, is excited about the community participation which he believes is a hallmark of both DePIN projects and tokenized RWAs. He notes, “DePIN represents one of the most exciting frontiers of Web3, connecting physical assets with on-chain value and community participation. Together with World Mobile, we’re enabling all investors to invest in the growth of networks that connect the unconnected, all within a regulated framework.”

Micky Watkins, CEO of World Mobile, added that their mission has always been to build a more inclusive and connected world. He explains that partnering with Tokinvest allows them to take that mission a step forward.
He asserts, “By unlocking tokenized investment access to the real decentralized physical infrastructure powering the sharing economy. This collaboration is not just about telecoms, but about ownership, empowerment, and economic participation.”

Belal Jassoma, Senior Director, Tech Ecosystems, DMCC, revealed, “Seeing two DMCC Crypto Centre members – Tokinvest and World Mobile – combine their strengths to deliver real-world, decentralized infrastructure is exactly what our ecosystem was built to enable. This partnership brings together regulated RWA tokenization and next-generation connectivity solutions in a way that advances both digital inclusion and new investment models. It’s a strong example of how DMCC’s Web3 community continues to generate responsible, high-impact innovation with global reach.”

Also involved in the collaboration is North Star Global Advisory and Consultancy Group (North Star), a management consultancy specialising in digital asset structuring and tokenisation strategy, which advised World Mobile on selecting a regulated issuance partner.

“Over the past year, we’ve analysed more than sixty tokenisation platforms and infrastructure providers globally,” said Dr. Malik Dzirlo, Global Chairman and CEO at North Star. “Very few could demonstrate the regulatory depth, technical capability, and lifecycle management required to deliver real, compliant tokenisation. Tokinvest stood out immediately. It’s one of the only platforms that can take a real-world asset from onboarding through to secondary trading within a regulated framework. For World Mobile, choosing Tokinvest wasn’t just the obvious choice; it was the only choice for doing it right.”
