From the perspective of the Bitaigen editorial team, we outline the latest tokenization progress in Dubai and the Maldives, examine the underlying technology pathways and regulatory considerations, and explore how Trump‑branded projects are leveraging Securitize to overcome traditional financing bottlenecks. This article provides a panoramic analysis for readers interested in on‑chain asset innovation, helping them grasp emerging industry trends.
The Trump‑related Maldives hotel deal is also seeking tokenization
Just days after Ctrl Alt announced its tokenization infrastructure statement, real‑estate developer DarGlobal partnered with former U.S. President Donald Trump and the crypto venture World Liberty Financial—backed by his children—to tokenize the construction phase of a Trump‑branded resort. The initiative will be executed through fintech firm Securitize. DarGlobal CEO Ziad Al‑Shar told Cointelegraph:
“Tokenization can open new doors for investors who wish to enter the real‑estate market but are constrained by traditional financing channels.”
The announcement was made at a crypto‑themed event held on the Trump property site in Mar‑Alago, Maldives. Attendees included Goldman Sachs CEO David Solomon, Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong, Senator Ashley Moody, and industry figures such as Bernie Moreno.
In Dubai, a similarly large‑scale tokenized real‑estate program is underway. Entities in the emirate are collaborating with partners in the Maldives to launch tokenized developments worth several million USD over the coming years. Last Friday, the Dubai Land Department officially kicked off the second phase of its real‑estate tokenization pilot, following the earlier tokenization of a roughly USD 5 million property and the successful resale of about 7.8 million tokens.
The pilot is overseen by Ctrl Alt, which is also a licensed virtual‑asset service provider in Dubai. The firm plans to issue “asset‑backed virtual asset management tokens” to boost secondary‑market liquidity. Ctrl Alt stated that all on‑chain transactions related to real‑estate tokens will be recorded on the XRP ledger and secured by Ripple’s custodial services.
The Dubai Land Department had projected in May 2025 that the tokenization program could contribute approximately USD 16 billion by 2033, representing about 7 % of the total local real‑estate transaction volume. Industry observers argue that Dubai’s mature property market combined with a crypto‑friendly regulatory environment gives it a distinctive competitive edge on the global stage.
The above summary outlines the recent milestones achieved by Dubai and the Maldives in the tokenized real‑estate sector. For further updates, please follow Bitaigen’s continuing coverage.
