WLFI launches Trump Maldives RWA tokenization project

World Liberty Financial is expanding its real-world asset tokenization strategy with a blockchain-based investment linked to Trump International Hotel & Resort in the Maldives.

The product converts loan revenue interests tied to the luxury resort into digital tokens designed for accredited and eligible investors.

Developed in partnership with Securitize and DarGlobal PLC, the offering allows investors to access fixed income streams from resort financing without owning the property.

RWA token structure and resort income

The investment is built around the loan revenue generated by the Maldives resort.

Investors receive blockchain tokens representing claims on income derived from interest payments linked to the resort’s financing.

These tokens provide fixed returns tied to resort-related loan income rather than ownership of the property itself.

The structure allows investors to gain exposure to resort revenue streams while holding a digital financial instrument that reflects performance without requiring direct operational involvement.

World Liberty Financial said revenue from resort interest payments will be distributed through the token framework.

The tokens may also be supported on multiple public blockchains over time to expand accessibility and integration with digital asset infrastructure.

The company added that the tokens could be used as collateral within its WLFI Markets platform, where permitted by law.

This would allow the resort-linked RWA tokens to integrate with decentralised finance services and support financial activity such as borrowing, liquidity access, and structured digital asset transactions.

Regulated framework and investor access

The offering operates under Regulation D and Regulation S securities exemptions.

These frameworks allow access to qualified participants while maintaining securities compliance and regulated distribution of tokenized investment products.

The tokens will not be registered for public sale in the United States and will only be offered through approved regulatory exemptions.

Access is restricted to accredited and eligible investors to maintain compliance with securities laws.

World Liberty Financial clarified that the Trump Organization is not involved in issuing or promoting the tokens.

The resort’s branding is used under a licensing agreement rather than through direct participation in the tokenization process.

Institutional strategy and digital finance expansion

The resort-linked RWA launch comes as World Liberty Financial expands its institutional blockchain strategy.

On Feb. 18, the company hosted the World Liberty Forum at Mar-a-Lago, bringing together executives from Goldman Sachs, Nasdaq, and Franklin Templeton.

The event focused on digital assets, stablecoins, artificial intelligence, and monetary policy.

It formed part of efforts to connect traditional finance with blockchain infrastructure and expand regulated digital asset adoption.

World Liberty Financial also announced a partnership with Apex Group to pilot its USD1 stablecoin for settlements in tokenized fund operations.

The initiative aims to integrate blockchain payments into fund administration.

These developments highlight the company’s push into regulated digital finance.

The Maldives resort tokenization marks one of its first real estate RWA products, while partnerships and institutional engagement support its broader blockchain expansion strategy.
