World Liberty Financial, a crypto project linked to the Trump family, announced tokenization of revenue from a Maldives resort loan. The structure will tie investor returns to debt payments secured by Trump International Hotel & Resort Maldives.

Deal structure

Investors will acquire digital tokens whose payouts mirror scheduled repayments on the construction loan rather than equity in the property. Token issuance is planned on public blockchains while resale will be subject to transfer restrictions imposed by the offering.

Resort and timeline

The development comprises approximately 100 ultra-luxury overwater villas with expected completion in 2030. Project promoters presented the tokenization plan at a private crypto conference held at Mar-a-Lago.

Partners and track record

Transaction partners include Securitize and developer DarGlobal (LSE: DAR). Securitize has previously worked with BlackRock, Hamilton Lane and Apollo Global on tokenized funds and private credit offerings on blockchain.

The announced format aims to provide investors with income exposure tied to loan servicing rather than ownership rights, keeping capital structure and repayment mechanics at the centre of returns.
