World Liberty Financial to Tokenize Trump Maldives Resort Loan Revenue

World Liberty Financial (WLFI) has unveiled plans to tokenize loan revenue interests tied to the Trump International Hotel & Resort in the Maldives.

The initiative represents WLFI’s first major step into real-world asset (RWA) tokenization and signals a push to bring structured real estate income streams onto public blockchains.

The project is being developed in partnership with DarGlobal PLC, the international luxury real estate developer that owns the Maldives property, and Securitize, a leading tokenization platform. The Trump Organization is involved as the licensed hotel brand partner for the resort.

How the Investment Is Structured

Unlike traditional property tokenization models, the offering does not provide direct ownership in the resort itself. Instead, investors will gain exposure to loan revenue interests connected to the development financing of the project.

This structure is designed to provide a fixed yield tied to the income stream generated through the resort’s financing arrangements, rather than equity participation in the physical asset.

The offering is restricted to verified accredited investors under Rule 506(c) of Regulation D, as well as non-U.S. persons under Regulation S. Tokens are expected to be issued on supported public blockchains and made accessible through select third-party wallets.

The Underlying Asset

The Trump International Hotel & Resort, Maldives is positioned as a flagship ultra-luxury development, scheduled for completion in 2030. The project is expected to include approximately 100 high-end beach and overwater villas, targeting the global luxury hospitality segment.

By structuring exposure through loan revenue rather than direct equity, the model aligns more closely with debt-style real estate investments, potentially appealing to investors seeking predictable yield profiles rather than property appreciation alone.

Strategic Significance for WLFI

The announcement marks WLFI’s formal entry into the tokenized RWA space. According to Eric Trump, co-founder of WLFI, the partnership aims to broaden access to premium real estate income streams that have traditionally been limited to ultra-high-net-worth investors.

While the initiative remains limited to accredited and offshore participants, it reflects a broader trend of traditional luxury developments exploring blockchain-based financing structures. If successfully executed, the model could serve as a template for future tokenized debt offerings tied to large-scale global real estate projects.
