Bloomberg reported on Friday

.

The token was planned to go on sale next year, giving investors a share of revenue from loans financing the Trump-branded resort, but this has been pushed back due to the Iran war disrupting travel in the region, according to the report, citing people familiar with the matter.

World Liberty Financial

tapped real-world asset (RWAs) platform Securitize

in February to help represent loan interests tied to the resort’s development as a digital token that could be traded onchain.

It is unclear when the token will now be listed.

A World Liberty Financial spokesperson declined to comment, according to Bloomberg’s report. The company did not immediately respond when contacted by CoinDesk for additional comment.

The protocol’s native token WLFI rose by 2.7% on the news before giving back all of the gains and returning to parity. It is now down by 88.5% from its record high in September, 2025.
