Integra Picks SettleMint to Run Tokenisation Layer for Property in UAE and US
An MoU links Integra's agentic real estate AI to SettleMint's regulated asset lifecycle platform, with services scoped project by project.
Integra has chosen SettleMint to run the digital asset lifecycle layer beneath its push to put property on-chain in the UAE and the United States. The two companies signed a memorandum of understanding that sets out a framework linking Integra's real estate ecosystem platform with SettleMint's digital asset lifecycle platform.
The memorandum is a route map, not a product. Projects joining Integra's ecosystem gain a pathway to tokenisation services, fiat-based licences and implementation support. Scope is set project by project, according to each one's own model.
Integra brings agentic AI built to buy, sell, negotiate and manage real estate on-chain, and to process real estate security tokens. SettleMint supplies the technical foundation underneath: issuance, lifecycle management, compliance integration. Its platform is designed for deployment in more than one jurisdiction, with configurations aligned to UAE and US regulatory requirements.
Both companies frame the arrangement as infrastructure first. The joint solution pairs Integra's AI with SettleMint's regulated platform, and the agreement covers projects entering Integra's ecosystem rather than a single flagship development.
Permissions, compliance workflows and administration are where tokenisation work tends to stall once a market matures past pilots, and the offering is aimed squarely at that layer. Both firms say multi-jurisdiction infrastructure that holds up to regulatory scrutiny is a precondition for credible real-world asset markets, not something bolted on afterwards.
Piyush Gupta, a core contributor at Integra, said the partnership is meant to speed up deployment of compliant real estate tokenisation in the US and the Middle East. Combining Integra's ecosystem with SettleMint's enterprise-grade platform, he said, gives clients an end-to-end route to liquidity, transparency and operational efficiency.
Matthew Van Niekerk, president at SettleMint, described real estate as the world's most valuable asset class and said the records underpinning it have lagged badly. Deeds, titles and ownership structures sit in a web2 state at best, he said, and often in paper-based systems that predate it. He credited Integra with a compliance-first approach to moving those assets on-chain and said SettleMint was pleased to have been chosen.
Timing explains some of the interest. The US and Gulf states are separately working to improve access, transparency and efficiency across their property and financial systems, and tokenisation of real estate is expected to grow substantially over the next decade.
For all the platform language, the practical test sits in individual deals. Each project entering the ecosystem will still negotiate its own combination of tokenisation, licensing and implementation work, and nothing in the memorandum fixes how many will follow. Whether the framework shortens those negotiations is the part it cannot settle on its own.
