Securitize, a platform for asset tokenization with over $4 billion in assets under management as of late 2025, has been named WLFI’s official tokenization partner.
Carlos Domingo, Co-Founder and CEO of Securitize, described the selection as an honor and highlighted the launch of the first project with DarGlobal as a highly promising venture.
The partnership focuses on converting revenue streams from loans tied to the luxury resort into digital tokens, offering eligible investors structured exposure to a high-profile development.
The Trump International Hotel & Resort, Maldives, is a flagship luxury hospitality project developed by DarGlobal in partnership with The Trump Organization.
Slated for completion in 2030, the property will feature approximately 100 ultra-luxury beachfront and overwater villas.
Token holders in this initial offering will gain access to fixed yields along with participation in the asset’s ongoing performance, including potential income distributions and profits from future sales.
The structure operates within a fully regulated securities framework, emphasizing compliance, governance, and market-ready design.
Ziad El Chaar, CEO of DarGlobal, called the collaboration a breakthrough in real estate investment, enabling qualified investors to access, trade, and achieve liquidity in premium assets even during the development phase.
Eric Trump, co-founder of WLFI, emphasized the company’s mission to broaden decentralized finance opportunities, noting that this step allows eligible participants to engage with an iconic property for the first time through tokenized means.
The tokens will be issued through a private placement compliant with Rule 506(c) of Regulation D and Regulation S under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933.
They are available exclusively to verified accredited investors in the United States or non-U.S. persons in qualifying offshore transactions.
Offerings will appear on supported public blockchains, with access facilitated through approved third-party platforms and wallets.
Additional on-chain features, such as using tokens as collateral for loans via WLFI Markets (where permitted), are planned to enhance utility.
This launch underscores growing institutional interest in blending traditional real estate with blockchain technology.
Real estate has historically posed challenges for effective tokenization due to its complexity, but Securitize’s approach aims to deliver scalable, compliant products that could attract global demand.
Availability remains restricted to supported jurisdictions, with interested accredited investors encouraged to join a waitlist for verification.
The announcement has drawn attention across the crypto and finance sectors, positioning WLFI as a bridge between established luxury developments and modern digital finance tools.
As the first in a planned series of RWA offerings, the tokenized Maldives resort signals a new era of accessible, liquid investment opportunities in premium real estate.
With backing from key figures and experienced partners, the project highlights the potential for blockchain to transform how high-value assets are owned, traded, and financed.
