Overview
- Dar Global and the Trump Organization unveiled Trump International Hotel Maldives and described the project as the first hotel development to offer tokens tied to its construction phase.
- The tokenization model would let investors buy digital shares linked to the development rather than a completed property.
- The resort is planned about 25 minutes by speedboat from Malé with roughly 80 ultra-luxury beach and overwater villas and a targeted opening by the end of 2028.
- The announcement did not specify the token structure, sales platform, regulatory approvals, or the timeline for any investor offering.
- Executives Eric Trump and Ziad El Chaar pitched the move as a blend of luxury expansion and investment innovation, as industry reporting flags regulatory, liquidity and security risks.
