Context
Bitfinex Securities , the first licenced supplier of digital assets in El Salvador, is leading the country’s first tokenised asset raising by using the layer 2 Liquid Network of Bitcoin. In collaboration with Inversiones Laguardia S.A. de C.V., Bitfinex Securities plans to use a tokenised debt offering to fund the building of a new Hilton hotel complex at El Salvador International Airport. The tokenised debt offering, or HILSV, will be introduced on the Liquid Network, a bitcoin sidechain that enables speedier and more scalable transactions. Investors will have the opportunity to support the hotel project’s fundraising efforts as HILSV is traded about the US dollar and tether (USDT).
