In a recent piece on CoinDesk, CEO Saum
Noursalehi of Tzero, a security token trading platform,
announced that it has signed a letter of Intent with
Emaar, a big client which will issue security tokens on
its platform. As stated in CoinDesk piece “Dubai-
based real estate giant Emaar has signed a letter of
intent to issue tokens on tZERO. Emaar owns luxury
residential and commercial high-rises, including the
world’s tallest building, the Burj Khalifa in Dubai.”
Emaar had recently announced plans to carry out a
community loyalty token partnership with Lykke. It also
eluded to an ICO offering within 12 months.
In the Coindesk piece Noursalehi states, “At first,
Emaar will do some initial small, proof-of-concept
issuance to prove it out. Although the company is
looking into launching a token issuance project as big
as $2 billion in the next couple of years, no timeline or
other details of the future deal are set now, he adds,
but “we want to get a definitive contract in the next
week or two.”
