January 26, 2026 — Dubai, United Arab Emirates
RWA INC has entered into a strategic partnership in Dubai aimed at expanding institutional-grade real-world asset (RWA) tokenization infrastructure in the United Arab Emirates, the company said this week.
The collaboration brings together Emirati leadership, international investment professionals, and blockchain infrastructure specialists, with the stated objective of supporting compliant digital asset issuance tied to real-world assets, particularly in sectors such as real estate.
A central figure in the initiative is Sheikh Awad Mohammed bin Sheikh Mujrin, who joins the project in a strategic advisory capacity. His involvement is expected to facilitate engagement with regional developers, family offices, and institutional stakeholders, as well as strengthen alignment with the UAE’s broader economic and financial innovation strategies.
RWA INC said the partnership is structured to emphasize governance, regulatory awareness, and long-term infrastructure development, reflecting a broader shift in the tokenization sector toward institutionally oriented frameworks rather than retail-driven or speculative models.
Leadership and Operational Structure
The initiative is led by Kevin Yunai, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of RWA INC, who oversees the company’s tokenization infrastructure, investor platform development, and blockchain-enabled capital formation initiatives. The firm positions itself as a full-stack RWA platform providing legal structuring, technology infrastructure, investor access, and post-issuance lifecycle management.

Farhan Qadir, Founder and CEO of Nexus Worldwide and former CEO of Nasdaq-listed Color Star Technology, is also part of the leadership structure. Qadir has previously worked with family offices and international investment groups and brings experience in cross-border ventures and regulated partnerships, which the company says will support multi-jurisdictional compliance efforts.
Focus on Regulated Digital Asset Infrastructure
According to RWA INC, the partnership will focus on:
- Facilitating engagement with senior decision-makers and market participants in the UAE
- Supporting compliant onboarding of real-world assets with an emphasis on transparency and investor protection
- Contributing to the UAE’s ambition to position itself as a hub for regulated digital asset infrastructure and next-generation capital markets
Industry observers note that the UAE has increasingly positioned itself as a regulatory-friendly environment for digital assets and tokenization initiatives, particularly those linked to tangible assets and institutional participation.
RWA INC stated that its long-term goal is to help bridge traditional capital markets and blockchain-based financial infrastructure through regulated and scalable tokenization frameworks.
