According to Cointelegraph, Dubai's real estate market experienced a significant surge in May, achieving record sales volumes and transaction values. This growth indicates increasing investor confidence and a potential shift towards property tokenization. Data from Property Finder revealed that the sector reached a total sales value of 66.8 billion dirhams (approximately $18.2 billion) across 18,700 transactions.
