World Liberty Financial has postponed its token sale for a Maldives resort, citing the Iran conflict's impact on travel.
World Liberty Financial, a cryptocurrency venture linked to the Trump family, has postponed its upcoming token sale associated with a resort in the Maldives. The delay is reportedly due to the ongoing conflict in Iran, which has impacted regional travel, as noted by Bloomberg.
The token was originally set for launch next year and aimed to offer investors a share of revenues generated from loans financing the Trump-branded resort. However, disruptions caused by the war in Iran have necessitated this delay, according to insiders.
In February, World Liberty Financial entered a partnership with Securitize, a platform for real-world assets, to create a digital token representing loan interests tied to the resort’s development, which would be suitable for blockchain trading.
The new timeline for the token's availability is currently unclear. This token sale is part of a larger strategy by World Liberty Financial to tokenize real-world assets (RWAs) on blockchain networks, with intentions to explore tokenization in other areas, including commodities like oil and gas.
A spokesperson for World Liberty Financial did not provide additional comments. CoinDesk has also sought more information but has yet to receive a response.
After the announcement, the project's native token, WLFI, initially gained 2.7% but later lost those gains, returning to previous levels. Currently, WLFI has experienced an 88.5% decline from its peak in September 2025.
