World Liberty Financial to Tokenise Revenue From Trump Maldives Resort
- WLFI plans to tokenise loan revenue from a Trump-branded Maldives resort as part of its broader real-world asset strategy.
- The offering will provide accredited investors with fixed yield and exposure to hospitality-linked loan income within a regulated framework.
- The tokens will be privately placed, subject to transfer limits, and tied to an affiliate structure that includes a Trump-linked entity.
World Liberty Financial (WLFI) has outlined plans to bring loan revenue interests from the Trump International Hotel & Resort, Maldives, onto blockchain networks through tokenisation. The move represents the opening phase of a wider push to create and distribute WLFI-branded tokenised real-world asset offerings. Details were disclosed at the World Liberty Forum hosted at Mar-a-Lago in Palm Beach, Florida.
The luxury development, led by DarGlobal in partnership with The Trump Organization, is expected to be completed in 2030 and to feature approximately 100 ultra-luxury beach and overwater villas.
Working alongside Securitize, Inc. and DarGlobal PLC, the project will tokenise revenue interests derived from loans associated with the resort. According to the announcement, eligible accredited investors will be offered fixed yield and access to loan revenue streams, with the possibility of income distributions and certain profits if the asset is sold in the future.
“For the first time, eligible participants can be a part of an iconic property like Trump International Hotel & Resort, Maldives,” said Eric Trump, co-founder of WLFI.
We built World Liberty Financial to open up decentralised finance to the world… we are now extending that access to tokenised real estate.

Regulatory Structure and Investor Eligibility
The tokens will be sold through a private placement under US securities rules and will only be available to verified accredited investors or non-US buyers in offshore transactions. They will come with restrictions on how they can be transferred or resold and are expected to be issued on supported public blockchains, with access provided through selected third-party partners and digital wallets.
DT Marks Defi LLC holds an indirect economic interest through an affiliate in which it has about a 38% beneficial ownership stake, entitling it to receive a portion of the proceeds from the token sale.
