Singapore
Singapore demonstrates a fundamentally different approach from Dubai. The land registry itself does not need to become the tokenization platform. Instead, regulated financial infrastructure can bring existing investment structures into digital distribution.
Case Study
Source: Hines and DigiFT, February 3, 2026.
In February 2026, DigiFT and Hines announced regulated tokenized access for eligible investors to an indirect investment in a fund investing in an over-$6 billion Hines-sponsored global real-estate portfolio.
The underlying fund structures and regulatory safeguards remain in place. That distinction matters.
The entire $6 billion portfolio was not tokenized.
Instead, tokenization is being applied to the investment and distribution infrastructure surrounding an existing institutional real-estate structure.
What Singapore Demonstrates
Shows how a property registry can participate directly in digital ownership.
Shows how regulated capital-market infrastructure can become digital without placing the underlying property title itself on-chain.
For MeridianSquare, Singapore is an important model for institutional distribution, regulated digital securities and cross-border capital-market infrastructure.
The Infrastructure Lesson
Singapore matters because it demonstrates that institutional real-estate exposure can move into regulated digital distribution without moving the underlying property title itself on-chain.
For MeridianSquare, that reinforces a core design principle: Digital Property Infrastructure should coordinate existing legal and financial systems rather than assume they all need to be replaced.
