A New Era of Tokenized Luxury
The Trump Organization is entering the world of tokenized real estate, unlocking a fresh investment model for global buyers. The company’s latest venture, the Trump International Hotel Maldives, will allow individuals to invest directly in the project’s development through digital tokens, according to partner and luxury developer Dar Global. This approach marks a major shift in how high-end real estate raises capital, with Eric Trump calling the initiative a groundbreaking leap.

Inside the Maldives Project
The upcoming resort is set to feature 80 luxury villas, all situated just 25 minutes by speedboat from Malé, the capital of the Maldives. Dar Global described the project as an ultra-premium destination built for “the highest levels of privacy, exclusivity, and sophistication” signaling its intent to compete with the most elite hospitality brands in the region. According to Ziad El Chaar, CEO of Dar Global, the development is not just another luxury listing but a milestone in the global hospitality market.
Tokenization Opens Early Investment Access
Unlike most tokenized real estate efforts, which typically begin after a project is completed or income-generating, this initiative gives investors access during the development phase. This approach means token holders can gain exposure much earlier in the lifecycle of the property, although details on eligibility, purchase mechanics, and token distribution remain undisclosed. Dar Global has only stated that the model is intended to be “smarter, more flexible, and globally connected,” offering investors an innovative entry point into premium real estate.
Corporate Momentum and Market Responsе
Shares of Dar Global (DAR), which trade on the London Stock Exchange, closed nearly 3% higher following the announcement, showing early investor enthusiasm. The firm already has a strong footprint in Spain, the UK, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and other major markets, and has been actively promoting tokenization as a path toward broader and more efficient global investment. Their partnership with the Trump Organization signals a growing willingness among traditional developers to experiment with blockchain-based investment structures.
The Trump Family’s Growing Crypto Footprint <
The Maldives project also highlights the Trump family’s increasing involvement in the crypto ecosystem. Beyond President Donald Trump’s positioning as a pro-crypto candidate, the family has already engaged with projects such as World Liberty Financial, the official Solana-based Trump meme coin, and mining operations through ventures like American Bitcoin, co-founded by Eric and Donald Trump Jr. Their push into tokenized real estate appears to be the next step in merging luxury development with blockchain technology.
