President Trump advances the world's first "early-stage tokenization hotel" in the Maldives... in collaboration with Dar Global.

The Trump Organization, operated by President Trump, and the high-end real estate developer Del Global Group, listed on the London Stock Exchange, will launch the world's first “tokenization of luxury hotel development project” in the Maldives. As a top global tourist destination, this project is expected to become an important milestone in the real estate tokenization market.

Both parties stated in a joint statement on the 20th local time that the project has introduced “unprecedented financial innovation.” Unlike most tokenization projects that involve dividing completed or nearly completed assets, the differentiated advantage of this case is that it allows investors to participate from the early stages of development.

The “Trump International Hotel Maldives Resort” under development is located a 25-minute speedboat ride from Malé, the capital of the Maldives, and is scheduled to open by the end of 2028. The resort will feature approximately 80 high-end beach and overwater villas, targeting travelers seeking top-level privacy and exclusive experiences.

This project utilizes the “asset tokenization” technology to issue tokens for physical assets through blockchain. Industry evaluations state that this technology allows investors to purchase partial ownership of assets in the form of tokens and enables 24-hour trading for liquidity, effectively lowering the investment threshold and enhancing investment convenience.

Del Global and the Trump Organization seem to aim to create a new investment model that combines blockchain and traditional real estate finance through this project. Market observers point out that if the Maldives project successfully sets a precedent, the global high-end real estate market may usher in a wave of tokenization.
