rump’s latest real‑estate push is a partnership with luxury developer Dar Global to launch the Trump International Hotel Maldives. The project will feature 80 high‑end villas and is slated to open by the end of 2028.

    Both companies are offering a tokenized investment model that lets buyers purchase shares while the resort is still under construction, rather than waiting for completion. Specifics on the timing and mechanics of the offering have not yet been disclosed.

    The resort will sit just 25 minutes by speedboat from Malé, the capital, and is designed to deliver “privacy, exclusivity and sophistication” to international guests.

    Eric Trump welcomed the collaboration, saying the venture would “redefine luxury in the region and set a new benchmark for real‑estate investment through tokenization.” Dar Global’s CEO, Ziad El Chaar, added that tokenizing the development is a “global first” that merges luxury, innovation and technology, potentially reshaping hospitality investment worldwide.

    Dar Global, listed on the London Stock Exchange, saw its shares rise nearly 3 % on the day of the announcement. The firm operates properties across Spain, the UK, Saudi Arabia, Qatar and other markets, and promotes its tokenization platform as a smarter, more flexible way to access high‑value real‑estate assets.

    The Trump family’s engagement with crypto has grown since last year, with former President Trump endorsing crypto projects and his sons co‑founding ventures like American Bitcoin. The new Maldives resort marks another intersection of the Trump brand and digital‑asset investment.
