Cyprus property developers and Cypriot real estate agents joined delegates from the Approved Service Providers industry to hear on practical solutions on how Cyprus real estate can be tokenised and how crypto acceptance for purchase of Cyprus property is now a reality.
“Tokenisation and Crypto in Cyprus real estate” was the theme of a major corporate event organised and hosted by Eurivex /CrowdX, which was held at the Cleopatra hotel in Nicosia on 2 March 2026.
The event covered on attracting foreign investors to Cyprus, the tax issues related to crypto and tokenisation transactions, the tokenisation and issue of security tokens and flow of funds when foreign investors decide to invest in Cyprus property in crypto.
Tokenization
Yervant Bohdjalian, Head of Digital at Eurivex explained that tokenization is the process of creating a digital representation of a real asset. The real estate tokenization market is projected to reach $1.7 trillion by 2027, growing at 25% annually.
“Everyone acknowledges that digital securities are the future,” said Yervant, adding that as property and other asset prices continue to move higher, project owners need to find new ways to attract investments and find alternative financing solutions.
“The Cyprus property market is facing the same challenges. As prices continue higher, one of the most effective alternatives is to tokenize the property and offer it to hundreds of investors,” said Yervant.
Instead of acquiring a complete apartment, the investor buys fractional shares. Each token entitles the investor to receive a proportional share of the income generated by the property (rents, capital gains from sales, etc.).
This makes real estate investment much more accessible, especially for those who do not have large sums of money.
Security tokens (digital securities representing real assets) are key to this model. Thanks to blockchain, many of the processes in the real estate sector can be digitized, reducing costs and increasing transparency.
Flow of funds
One of the major issues confronting Cyprus developers and project owners is how to accommodate and accept transfers in crypto from both foreign and local investors interested in acquiring Cyprus real world assets such as property or Cyprus company shares.
Shavasb Bohdjalian, CEO of Eurivex explained how project owners and investors can benefit from the regulated umbrella offered by Eurivex, for protection of assets, onboarding and project submission to conversion of crypto investments into euros, and delivery to the IBANs of the project owners.
“The last thing you want to tell a potential investor or buyer is that you don’t accept crypto, or even worse, direct them to a grey market operator, and thus risk losing the investment or seeing it get blocked, and or suspended,” added Shavasb.
Eurivex offers a regulated and very reasonably priced method to overcome the obstacles and facilitate the smooth flow of funds from start to finish.
Taxation of crypto in Cyprus
The recent tax modernisation has created a more transparent methodology of how gains from crypto assets are taxed, said Valentinos Pavlides, Partner, Tax Services and Transfer Pricing at Bakertilly, adding “we have clarity that gains from crypto trading or appreciation is now subject to 8% tax.”
Pavlides made an in-depth analysis on how crypto taxation features in the overall taxation of a Cyprus company, with the headline corporate tax having increased to 15%. He also explained that following the tax modernisation, the general tax-exempt amount has increased to €30,000 and €150,000 from the disposal of main residential home.
Attracting foreign investors
Marios Tannousis, Director General of Cyprus Invest told delegates that Cyprus has achieved outstanding credit ratings from Moody’s A3, and A- from S&P Global and Fitch on the back of fiscal discipline.
The ICT and FinTech sectors have attracted many global names including MUFG and Murex to name a few. Cyprus has 40+ EU trade agreements and 65+ double tax avoidance treaties and boasts a growing digital and R&D ecosystem, added Tannousis.
“We want and aim to make Cyprus to be one of the world’s best countries to live, work and to do business,” said Tannousis.
