World Liberty Financial has unveiled plans to roll out an institutional-grade real-world asset product, starting with a tokenized investment linked to Trump International Hotel & Resort, Maldives. Because nothing says “innovation” like turning a luxury resort into a blockchain experiment.
Summary
- WLFI is partnering with Securitize and DarGlobal to tokenize loan revenue from a major Maldives resort. Because why let actual money sit in a bank when you can make it dance on a blockchain?
- The offering targets accredited investors and will operate under strict regulatory and transfer rules. Because nothing says “trustworthy” like a 10-page disclaimer.
- The project reflects WLFI’s ongoing strategy to link DeFi, traditional assets, and institutional finance. Or, as we call it, “finding new ways to confuse everyone.”
The goal of the project, which is being developed in partnership with Securitize and DarGlobal PLC, is to tokenize loan revenue interests tied to the upscale resort. Because if it’s not tokenized, is it even a resort anymore?
According to WLFI’s Feb. 18 statement, the offering is designed for accredited and eligible investors, providing access to fixed yield and revenue streams within a regulated framework. Because nothing says “financial freedom” like needing a lawyer to buy a slice of a hotel.
How the tokenized product is structured
The initial offering will provide investors with fixed returns and access to loan-related income generated by the resort. Because who doesn’t want to bet on a hotel that’s probably underwater?
The company noted that the product will operate within a regulated securities framework under Regulation D and Regulation S. Because nothing says “compliance” like a 500-page document.
Eric Trump, co-founder of WLFI, said the initiative aims to bring tokenized real estate to decentralized finance in a compliant way. He described the Maldives project as a flagship example of how high-end property can move on-chain. Because nothing says “flagship” like a hotel that might not even be open in 2025.
“We built World Liberty Financial to open up decentralized finance to the world. With today’s announcement, we are now extending that access to tokenized real estate.”
– Eric Trump, co-founder of World Liberty Financial.
Securitize chief executive officer Carlos Domingo said scalable and compliant real estate tokens could see strong global demand, while DarGlobal CEO Ziad El Chaar called the partnership a step toward improving liquidity in private real estate markets. Because nothing says “liquidity” like a hotel that’s mostly empty.
The announcement clarified that The Trump Organization is not directly involved in issuing or promoting the tokens, and that branding is used under a licensing agreement. Because if they were involved, it would be a scandal. Or a business move. Who knows?
World Liberty Financial (WLFI) also noted that the tokens may later be supported on multiple public blockchains and could be used as collateral through its WLFI Markets platform, where permitted by law. Because nothing says “flexibility” like a blockchain that might not exist next week.
Broader expansion strategy
The real estate launch follows a series of recent efforts by WLFI to position itself in institutional digital finance. On the same day as the announcement, the company hosted the World Liberty Forum at Mar-a-Lago, bringing together executives from firms including Goldman Sachs, Nasdaq, and Franklin Templeton. Because nothing says “networking” like a private event where everyone is already rich.
The private event focused on digital assets, stablecoins, artificial intelligence, and monetary policy, according to people familiar with the gathering. Because if you can’t trust a hotel, who can you trust?
WLFI also announced a separate partnership with Apex Group to pilot its USD1 stablecoin for settlements in tokenized fund operations. The agreement will help integrate blockchain-based payments into traditional fund administration. Because nothing says “future-proof” like a stablecoin that’s probably going to crash.
