World Liberty Financial Tokenizes Maldives Trump Resort Loan…

Event summary

World Liberty Financial (WLFI) will tokenize loan revenue interests in Trump International Hotel & Resort, Maldives, a luxury property under development by DarGlobal.
The offering is structured as a private placement for accredited investors, with tokens representing fixed yield and loan revenue streams from the resort.
Securitize will provide the tokenization platform, leveraging its regulated infrastructure for digital securities in both the U.S. and EU.
The Maldives resort, scheduled for completion in 2030, features approximately 100 ultra-luxury villas and is licensed under The Trump Organization brand.

The big picture

This deal marks a strategic push into tokenized real estate, an asset class historically resistant to digital securities due to regulatory and structural complexities. With Securitize's $4B+ AUM in tokenized assets (as of November 2025), the partnership signals growing institutional confidence in fractionalizing high-value properties. The Maldives resort's Trump-branded luxury positioning may attract investors seeking both yield and brand prestige, but success hinges on execution over a four-year horizon.
