World Liberty Financial has announced plans to tokenize loan revenue interests linked to Trump International Hotel & Resort, Maldives, in partnership with Securitize, Inc., a platform specialising in tokenised real-world assets, and DarGlobal PLC, an international luxury real estate developer listed on the London Stock Exchange.

The planned issuance marks the initial step in World Liberty Financial’s broader strategy to structure and distribute branded tokenised offerings tied to tangible assets.

The project will focus on the Trump International Hotel & Resort, Maldives, a luxury hospitality development by DarGlobal in collaboration with The Trump Organization. The resort, scheduled for completion in 2030, is expected to include around 100 beach and overwater villas.

According to the companies, the offering will provide eligible accredited investors with exposure to fixed yields and loan revenue streams associated with the Maldivian development. Investors would gain access to income derived from loan interest payments and may participate in certain profits in the event of a future sale, within a regulated securities framework.

Eric Trump, co-founder of World Liberty Financial, said the initiative extends the firm’s efforts to broaden access to decentralised finance through tokenised real estate assets.

Carlos Domingo, co-founder and chief executive of Securitize, described real estate as one of the more complex asset classes to tokenize, adding that compliant and scalable on-chain real estate products are expected to attract global demand.

Ziad El Chaar, chief executive of DarGlobal, said the collaboration aims to expand how qualified investors access and trade loan revenue interests tied to high-end real estate developments.

The tokens are expected to be offered through a private placement under Rule 506(c) of Regulation D of the U.S. Securities Act of 1933. They will be available only to verified accredited investors and to non-U.S. persons in offshore transactions under Regulation S. The securities will not be registered under the Securities Act and will be subject to restrictions on transfer and resale.

The initial issuance is anticipated to take place on supported public blockchains, with access potentially facilitated through selected third-party partners and digital wallets, subject to regulatory requirements. The companies also indicated that additional on-chain features may be introduced, including the potential use of holdings as loan collateral through WLFI Markets, where permitted by law.
