Week in Review
This week marked a decisive shift toward regulated, institutional-grade tokenization. Dar Global and the Trump Organization pushed tokenized development into luxury hospitality; Figure advanced U.S. governance by filing for blockchain-native equity with the SEC; CoinLander expanded tokenization into mortgage debt; and Securitize secured one of Europe’s strongest regulatory footholds under the EU Pilot Regime.
In parallel, major RWA narratives intensified: the BIS issued a systemic-risk warning as RWA scale accelerates; RedStone projected $60B in RWA markets by 2026; and Coinbase Ventures highlighted RWA derivatives and AI-driven underwriting as core 2026 theses.
Together, these moves show tokenization leaving the proof-of-concept phase. Regulation, debt markets, and institutional capital are now shaping the next cycle more than startups or pilots. The competitive frontier is shifting toward compliance infrastructure, secondary liquidity, and cross-border issuance rails.
Featured Headlines
Dar Global × Trump Organization Launch Tokenized Maldives Resort Development
Nov 17, 2025 — Yahoo Finance
Dar Global and the Trump Organization unveiled a tokenized luxury resort development in the Maldives, using blockchain rails to fractionalize project participation. The move positions tokenization not just as a financing alternative, but as a mechanism for expanding global investor access into high-end hospitality—a sector historically reliant on concentrated capital and opaque cross-border structures.
Takeaway: The significance here is institutional signaling. When global developers begin experimenting with tokenized financing, it suggests that the unit economics, regulatory clarity, and investor appetite have matured enough to justify real allocation. This is less about branding and more about early institutional normalization of tokenized project equity.
Figure Files SEC Registration for Blockchain-Native Equity Securities
Nov 21, 2025 — GlobeNewswire
Figure filed a registration statement with the SEC to issue blockchain-native equity, positioning itself to become one of the first U.S. companies to offer regulated tokenized shares. This move extends the company’s ongoing effort to replace legacy capital-markets infrastructure with programmable securities and blockchain-based transfer agents.
Takeaway: If approved, Figure creates a regulatory template for tokenized equity issuance—something the industry lacks. The impact extends beyond corporate shares: real-estate SPVs and private-market issuers could eventually adopt similar structures, lowering friction around compliance, secondary trading, and investor onboarding.
CoinLander Expands Into Mortgage-Debt Tokenization
Nov 25, 2025 — GlobeNewswire
CoinLander added mortgage-debt tokenization to its product suite, converting mortgage receivables into tradable digital instruments. This shifts the company from a simple property-crowdfunding platform to a participant in a much larger financial-asset class.
Takeaway: Mortgage-backed RWAs represent one of the most scalable pathways for tokenization. The operational burden of loan servicing, cash-flow distribution, and secondary exits makes these assets ideal for automation via on-chain infrastructure. If executed well, CoinLander moves from niche retail access to institutional-grade structured products.
Securitize Approved by CNMV Under EU Pilot Regime
Nov 26, 2025 — CNMV
Securitize received authorization from Spain's CNMV to operate as a regulated DLT-based trading and settlement system under the EU Pilot Regime. The approval grants Securitize the ability to issue, custody, and facilitate secondary trading of tokenized securities within a supervised European framework.
Takeaway: This marks one of the strongest regulatory validations for tokenized capital markets in Europe. Early licensure is a competitive moat: Securitize now has structural positioning to attract institutional issuers seeking regulatory certainty and cross-border interoperability.
RWA Corner (Non–Real Estate)
This week’s RWA developments presented a sharp contrast: the BIS warned that surging RWA activity could create liquidity mismatches and systemic vulnerabilities, while RedStone projected the RWA market will accelerate to $60B by 2026, driven by institutional onboarding and real integration demand. The divergence underscores the split between regulatory caution and market optimism. Meanwhile, Coinbase Ventures continued positioning RWAs as a foundational growth pillar for the crypto sector, highlighting RWA derivatives and AI-driven credit infrastructure as key 2026 investment themes—suggesting the industry’s largest incumbent sees RWAs not as a risk factor but as a structural long-term opportunity.
Takeaway: These signals show RWAs entering a phase where growth and risk are rising in parallel. The market is scaling faster than regulatory consensus, and the next cycle will hinge on whether infrastructure—pricing oracles, settlement systems, and credit models—can mature quickly enough to support institutional-level liquidity without introducing systemic instability.

Landlord’s Corner
Last week was so busy that I didn't get around to the Newsletter! With big moves and travel plans coming together for the holidays, there's a lot to do to prepare the properties. We haven't found a replacement for our Christmas mover, but luckily we discussed this before and he was prepared to sacrifice his deposit to cover the months that he signed the lease for, if needed. If he can find a replacement then he can get his deposit back, and I'm even helping him look. No luck so far, but we technically don't need a replacement until January. Better luck next year?
The week underscored a shift from pilots to policy, but it’s happening against a wider market downturn that’s eroded confidence—especially in altcoins. Sentiment is fragile, liquidity is thinning, and capital is rotating toward assets with clearer fundamentals and regulatory paths. Yet historically, real structural opportunities tend to surface in moments of maximum fear, not euphoria. As tokenization infrastructure hardens and the broader market pulls back, the real advantage lies in preparing for the next cycle, not reacting to the current one.
Let’s grow this space together.
