World Liberty Financial is expanding its real-world asset (RWA) strategy with a blockchain-based investment product linked to Trump International Hotel & Resort in the Maldives.
The new offering converts loan revenue interests tied to the luxury resort into digital tokens designed for accredited and eligible investors. The initiative marks a significant step in bridging traditional resort financing with regulated blockchain infrastructure.
Resort Loan Income Converted Into Digital Tokens
Developed in partnership with Securitize and DarGlobal PLC, the product enables investors to access fixed income streams from resort financing without requiring direct property ownership.
Key structure highlights:
Tokens represent claims on loan interest income
Investors receive fixed returns
No direct ownership of the Maldives resort
Designed for accredited and eligible investors
This model allows investors to gain exposure to luxury hospitality revenue through a regulated digital financial instrument.
How the RWA Token Structure Works
The investment is built around financing income generated by the Maldives resort.
Investors receive blockchain tokens that:
Track interest payments linked to resort financing
Provide predictable fixed-income exposure
Reflect financial performance without operational responsibility
According to World Liberty Financial, revenue from resort interest payments will be distributed through the token framework.
The company also indicated the tokens may expand to multiple public blockchains over time to improve accessibility and integration with digital asset ecosystems.
DeFi Integration and WLFI Markets Utility
The firm stated the resort-linked tokens could potentially be used as collateral within its WLFI Markets platform, where permitted by law.
If implemented, this would allow holders to:
