Trump Real Estate Empire Could Go Onchain Under World Liberty Financial

Zach Witkoff, co-founder of World Liberty Financial, is exploring the tokenization of Trump family properties, including Trump Tower Dubai. The initiative could give everyday investors blockchain-based access to traditionally exclusive real estate.

Witkoff Plans Blockchain Access to Trump Tower Dubai and Other Landmark Properties

Zach Witkoff, co-founder of World Liberty Financial (WLFI), has revealed plans to bring the Trump family’s real estate portfolio onto the blockchain. Speaking at the Token2049 conference alongside Donald Trump Jr., Witkoff said the effort could start with high-profile projects such as Trump Tower Dubai.

The goal is to tokenize ownership in premium real estate, making assets typically reserved for institutions and wealthy investors available through blockchain-based shares. WLFI, launched last year, already issues the USD1 stablecoin and plans to expand into lending and borrowing.

Witkoff also chairs ALT5 Sigma, a treasury firm that promotes tokenization across real estate and private funds. Witkoff framed tokenization as a democratizing step, saying:

The Trump family has one of the most exciting real estate asset portfolios in the world. What if I told you that you could go on an exchange and buy one token of Trump Tower Dubai?

Real estate tokenization has historically faced regulatory hurdles and slow adoption, but momentum is building as institutional players like Blackrock experiment with tokenized funds. If successful, the presidential family’s global property portfolio could become one of the most visible test cases.

Among the projects under consideration is the 80-story Trump Tower International Hotel and Tower in Dubai, featuring a members-only club, luxury penthouses, and panoramic views of the Burj Khalifa.
