Buyers will be able to use cryptocurrency to purchase units at Trump Tower Dubai, the luxury real estate project recently unveiled by the Trump Organization and Dar Global. The announcement was made by Eric Trump, who confirmed the crypto payment option during a press briefing in Dubai.
The move comes as Dubai continues to attract high-net-worth individuals and crypto-native investors, positioning itself at the intersection of global finance, real estate, and Web3 innovation.
Developed in partnership with London-listed Dar Global, the $1 billion project will include a Trump-branded hotel, residential apartments, a private clubhouse, and two ultra-luxury penthouses — each priced at Dh75 million ($20.4 million). Standard apartments are expected to cost between Dh4–5 million, with the project situated at the entrance of Downtown Dubai along Sheikh Zayed Road.
Eric Trump, Executive Vice President of the Trump Organization, confirmed that crypto will be accepted for property purchases in the tower. Completion is projected within five years.
That being said, the decision to accept crypto payments is a strategic one. Dubai has become a hub for global wealth thanks to policies like golden visas, tax advantages, and a safe geopolitical climate.
According to Knight Frank, Dubai recorded 111 ultra-luxury home sales (above $10 million) in Q1 2025 alone, with a total value of $1.9 billion. The UAE has over 7000 new millionaires in 2024, further solidifying its place as a global wealth magnet.
The crypto-friendly real estate announcement also comes days before TOKEN2049 Dubai, the leading Web3 and digital asset conference, kicks off on April 30. The 2025 edition has officially sold out, drawing 15,000 attendees and over 200 global speakers.
Notably, Eric Trump will take the stage alongside crypto heavyweights such as Binance founder Changpeng “CZ” Zhao, Circle CEO Jeremy Allaire, Tether’s Paolo Ardoino, Raoul Pal, and Balaji Srinivasan.
The timing of the announcement and the crossover between real estate and crypto finance, reflects a growing trend: legacy capital and tokenized economies are converging, and Dubai is emerging as a key testing ground.
