Trump-Backed World Liberty Plots 'Exit Mechanism' for Maldives Hotel Tokenization Project

Summary

World Liberty Financial (WLFI), in partnership with Saudi developer DarGlobal and Securitize, is launching a tokenized investment project tied to the future Trump International Hotel & Resort in the Maldives, set to open in 2030. To address the challenge of long holding periods typical in real estate, the project introduces an “exit mechanism,” allowing investors to divest before project completion and still receive returns. Tokens, backed by the $300 million property's development phase, will offer fixed yield and loan revenue streams, with potential future income from the sale or operational profits of the resort. DarGlobal will retain at least a 30% equity stake to align interests and ensure project completion. The initiative leverages Securitize's tokenization infrastructure to provide greater liquidity and accessibility, although investment is initially limited to accredited investors. Additional lifestyle benefits for token holders are planned. The goal is to broaden investment options and accessibility for crypto investors seeking diversification beyond short-term speculative assets.
