Klickl, a UAE-based Web3 financial platform, has announced a strategic partnership with IMKAN Properties, a leading real estate developer in Abu Dhabi, to facilitate property purchases through cryptocurrency payments.
The collaboration aims to transform real estate transactions by introducing an innovative financial model that enhances accessibility for both regional and international buyers.
By integrating Klickl’s cryptocurrency payment processing system, IMKAN seeks to offer secure, efficient, and flexible payment solutions, catering to the growing demand for alternative financial tools in high-value sectors such as real estate.
“Our collaboration with IMKAN aligns with our mission to bring the benefits of Web3 technologies into mainstream business transactions,” said Michael Zhao, CEO of Klickl. “From cross-border remittances to real estate investments, digital currencies offer an unmatched level of convenience, transparency, and efficiency. By supporting IMKAN’s customers with both crypto payment acceptance and fiat conversion, we are creating a model that other real estate companies can adopt to attract a new generation of buyers.”
The partnership will allow IMKAN’s clients to convert cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), and stablecoins like USDT into real estate investments. This approach provides greater flexibility, eliminating the delays and complexities associated with traditional cross-border bank transfers.
A key driver of this initiative is the increasing interest from international investors in UAE real estate. Digital currency transactions offer a streamlined process, particularly for buyers in regions with limited access to banking infrastructure.
“Crypto is more than a payment method—it’s a financial tool that enables us to operate more efficiently across borders,” Zhao explained. “Our goal with IMKAN is to offer this technology in a way that enhances liquidity and supports business continuity, providing real estate developers with the financial stability they need to grow.”
According to the company and with a license secured from ADGM, Klickl is committed to ensuring full compliance with UAE regulations. The platform integrates robust security measures, including Know Your Customer (KYC) protocols and anti-money laundering (AML) compliance, to protect both IMKAN and its clients.
“We are committed to maintaining the highest levels of security and compliance,” Zhao emphasized. “Every transaction will go through rigorous checks to ensure it meets regulatory standards, so our partners and their customers can transact with confidence.”
Moreover, as part of this initiative, Klickl and IMKAN will establish a dedicated task force to oversee the implementation of cryptocurrency payments in real estate. The team will focus on optimizing the user experience and refining the offering based on customer feedback.
IMKAN also plans to expand the use of digital finance tools across its entire portfolio, from luxury residential developments to large-scale commercial projects.
“The UAE is rapidly emerging as a major crypto hub, driven by progressive regulations and a proactive approach to digital asset adoption. As one of the nation’s leading real estate developers, IMKAN is proud to play a role in revolutionizing property transactions through cryptocurrency. Together with Klickl, we are ensuring that the UAE remains a leader in digital currency adoption,” said Engineer Suwaidan Al Dhaheri, CEO of IMKAN Properties.
By becoming one of the first major real estate developers in the region to accept cryptocurrency payments, IMKAN is setting a precedent for others to follow. The partnership with Klickl reinforces the UAE’s position as a global leader in financial innovation.
“This collaboration demonstrates how blockchain and digital assets can bring real value to traditional industries,” Zhao concluded. “It’s not just about following trends—it’s about using these technologies to solve real-world challenges and unlock new opportunities. We see the potential for this model to reshape not only real estate but also other high-value sectors.”
