WLFI Plans Tokenized Loan Yield for Trump Maldives Resort
- WLFI will tokenize Maldives resort loan revenues through Securitize and DarGlobal.
- Tokens target accredited investors and offer fixed yield plus loan-linked income.
- Issuance may use public blockchains with transfer limits under Reg D 506(c) and Reg S.
World Liberty Financial has announced plans to tokenize loan revenue interests in Trump International Hotel & Resort, Maldives, through a partnership with Securitize, Inc. and DarGlobal PLC. The private placement will target verified accredited investors under U.S. securities exemptions. The offering will provide fixed returns and exposure to loan-related income tied to the resort’s development. The project forms part of WLFI’s broader strategy to structure and distribute branded tokenized real-world asset products.
Flagship Maldives Development Anchors Offering
DarGlobal PLC, listed on the London Stock Exchange under DAR, is developing Trump International Hotel & Resort, Maldives, in collaboration with The Trump Organization. The project is scheduled for completion in 2030. It will feature about 100 ultra-luxury beach and overwater villas in one of the world’s leading hospitality markets.
The tokenized structure will grant eligible investors access to fixed yield and loan revenue streams generated by the resort’s financing. Through interest payments, investors will gain exposure to the asset’s performance without holding direct property ownership. The structure operates within a regulated securities framework.
Revenue distributions will flow through digital tokens that represent loan revenue interests. Investors may also gain exposure to certain profits if a future sale occurs.
Private Placement and Regulatory Framework
The tokens will be offered through a private placement under Rule 506(c) of Regulation D of the Securities Act of 1933. Only verified accredited investors may participate within the United States. Non-U.S. persons may invest through offshore transactions under Regulation S.
The tokens have not been registered under the Securities Act or any state securities laws. They will carry significant restrictions on transfer and resale. Sales in the United States will occur only through applicable exemptions from registration requirements.
WLFI expects to issue the tokens on supported public blockchains. The firm plans to enable access through select third-party partners and digital wallets, subject to legal requirements. Where permitted by law, eligible users may also use holdings as loan collateral through WLFI Markets.
