The Trump Organisation, in partnership with London-listed luxury developer Dar Global, has announced a groundbreaking plan to tokenise a new luxury hotel project in the Maldives. The initiative introduces an investment model that allows backers to gain exposure from the earliest stages of development, a departure from most tokenised real-estate ventures that focus on completed or near-completed assets.
Early Investment Through Tokenisation
The project, titled Trump International Hotel Maldives, aims to create a new pathway for global investors through real-world asset tokenisation. This approach places tangible assets on a blockchain ledger and offers flexible entry points, fractional ownership, and uninterrupted trading opportunities.
Investors will have the chance to participate before construction is completed, a rarity in the growing tokenised property sector. Full details on the specific investment options have yet to be disclosed, as the Trump Organisation has not responded to additional queries.
Vision for a New Standard in Tokenised Real Estate
Eric Trump, executive vice president of The Trump Organisation, said the initiative is designed to establish a fresh benchmark in both luxury hospitality and investment innovation. He added that the development is set to elevate expectations for tokenised real-estate participation.
Ziad El Chaar, chief executive of Dar Global, described the move as a “global first” that blends advanced technology with exclusive property development. He emphasised that the model could reshape how investors worldwide participate in hospitality projects.
Resort Details and Opening Timeline
The resort is scheduled to open by the end of 2028. It will feature approximately 80 premium beach and overwater villas, designed to offer privacy, exclusivity, and high-end experiences. The site is located a 25-minute speedboat ride from Malé, placing it within reach of one of the region’s busiest travel hubs.
Rising Interest in Trump-Linked Crypto Ventures
The announcement arrives during a period of heightened activity surrounding Trump-related cryptocurrency projects. By mid-October the Trump family’s crypto initiatives, which include World Liberty Financial along with the Official Trump and Melania Meme tokens, had collectively reported close to one billion dollars in pre-tax profit.
