World Liberty Financial has unveiled a new partnership to tokenise the Trump International Hotel & Resort in the Maldives. Working with Securitize and DarGlobal, the firm aims to offer investors digital exposure to the ultra-luxury development. The project marks the start of a broader strategy to bring high-profile real-world assets onto the blockchain.
The Dubai Land Department is launching Phase II of its Real Estate Tokenisation Project, allowing secondary market trading from 20 February 2026. This move transitions the project from a pilot stage to a regulated operational framework involving 7.8 million tokens. The initiative aims to enhance market liquidity and transparency while supporting the Dubai Real Estate Sector Strategy 2033. By enabling fractional ownership, Dubai is positioning itself as a global leader in property technology.
Real Finance, a Layer-1 blockchain network focused on the tokenisation of real-world assets (RWAs), has raised a total of $29 million in private funding. The capital includes a $25 million commitment from Nimbus Capital and a $4 million private round led by Magnus Capital. The financing is a major step in the company's strategy to expand its compliance-ready infrastructure and accelerate the onboarding of institutional financial partners.
Dar Global, the London-listed luxury real estate developer, and The Trump Organization have announced a major joint venture for the Maldives. The partnership includes the debut of the Trump International Hotel Maldives and the launch of the world’s first tokenised hotel development tied to the project. Located 25 minutes from Malé, the hotel will feature 80 ultra-luxury beach and overwater villas and is expected to open by the end of 2028.
This new asset-backed hybrid token, set for a Q2 2026 market debut subject to regulatory approval, is a collaborative venture between Hotdesk, Al Maryah Community Bank, Emirates Coin Investment, and Singularity. It aims to democratise access to high-quality, income-producing assets. By leveraging the divisibility of blockchain, DESK will allow global investors to participate with minimal capital, offering a significantly more liquid and accessible investment alternative to traditional Real Estate Investment Trusts.
The Investors Pool, a new platform by Fractional Syndication LLC, has launched with the aim of revolutionising global real estate investment. Using blockchain technology to convert property ownership into digital tokens, the platform allows individuals to invest in a diversified portfolio of US assets for as little as $100. The platform focuses on high-yield properties, including planned unit developments and specialized rental housing.
